 Occurs in Japan at Yokohama, Fushiki,Nagahama,Tokio ' 

 and Hakodate. Specimens were received from Kiukiang 

 and the province of Kwei-chow, and I obtained the species 

 at Gensan. As I remarked in my previous paper, the colour 

 of Eastern Asian L. dispar ranges, in the male, from 

 whitish or pale whity-brown through greyish-brown up to 

 a dark fuliginous, and in all forms the transverse lines and 

 shades, as also the discal spots of primaries, may be either 

 well defined, or more or less obliterated. The female 

 varies from white to pale fuscous, and the markings are 

 subject to modification as in the male. In size the speci- 

 mens range from 37 millim. {$) to 114 millim. (?). 



DistriUttion. Europe. — Amurland ; Japan ; Yesso ; 

 CoREA ; North, Central, and Western China.
