There were several specimens (both sexes) from Yoko- 

 hama in Fryer's collection. I took a male at Ningpo in 

 April, another was taken by a native in July, and one at 

 Gensan, also in July. Four males were received from 

 Chang-yang. Three of the examples from the last 

 locality are silky white, one of them almost immaculate, 

 I propose the name Candida for this form ; the fourth is 

 identical with the type of sangaica, Moore. The Ningpo 

 specimens are darker and have larger black spots than 

 those from Japan, which latter, together with the Gensan 

 example, agree very well with the European type.

I have a typical male taken by myself at Foochau in 

 April and an example of the same sex from Chang-yang, 

 taken in July. The last agrees with the Foochau speci- 

 men so far as regards the primaries, but the secondaries 

 are pure white with a broad outer marginal band extend- 

 ing from costa almost to anal angle. 



HaUtat. Eastern and Central China.
