 A fine series from Yokohama. 



The specimens vary in size and also in the intensity of 

 the markings ; most of them are of the type form {undans 

 = excellens), but a few females are referable to the faintly

Specimens from Yokohama, Oiwake and Yesso in Fryer's 

 collection. I obtained the species at Nagasaki in June 

 and at Gensan in July, and my native collector took some 

 examples at Nikko. A few specimens were bred at 

 Chung-King in the month of May, and others were 

 captured at Kiukiang and Pu-tsu-fong in June and July. 



M}^ series of this species from Eastern Asia is very 

 variable ; in one male example there are no transverse 

 lines and in another specimen only one line is indicated ; 

 in a third example of the same sex the coloiir is darker 

 than that proper to the female. 



Distribution. Europe. — Amurland ; Japan ; Yesso ; 

 Corea ; Northern, Central, and Western China.
