I have specimens from Moupin, Ta-chien-lu, Pu-tsu- 

 fong, Chia-kou-ho, Wa-shan and Omei-shan. The ex- 

 amples from the first two localities are paler thaa the 

 others which are of the typical and tcncbrosa forms. 



One male specimen from the province of Kwei-chow, 

 which seems to be referable to this species, has the ground 

 colour greyish and the dark markings are confluent, 

 forming clouds and j)atches.
