Hderoccra from China, Japan, and Gorea. 123 



Artaxa confusa, Brem., Lep. Ost.-Sib., p. 42, pi. iv, fig. 5 

 . (1864). 



A fine series from Yokohama and Oiwake in Fryer's 

 collection. I have two specimens from Hakodate, one 

 taken in June, and one from Gensan taken in July. The 

 species occurs also at Chang-yang and Chia-ting-fu in June 

 and July. 



One example from Oiwake is referable to var. confusa, 

 Brem., which is darker than the type. 



Distribution. Khasis ; Nagas {Hampson) ; Amurland ; 

 Japan ; Yesso ; Central and Western China ; Corea.

One example of each sex from Ohoyama in Pryer s 

 collection. 



Graesar (Berl. Ent. Zeit., 1888, p. 123) states that the 

 larva feeds in June on Vitis amurensis. 



G.janhoioskii, Oberth., seems to be a very close ally of 

 G. eurydice. 



Staudinger (Rom. sur Lep., vi, p. 305) states that he has 

 a female "Amata" from Japan which agrees well with 

 his Amurland specimens, and he adds that I do not record 

 this species from Japan. Reference to my former paper 

 {I. c) will show that " D." amata, Stand., was merged by 

 me as the female of C. eurydice, with which his subsequent 

 description of the male agrees. 



Distribution. Amurland; Japan.
