Widely distributed in Japan, but the majority of speci- 

 mens in my series were taken at Hakodate. The species 

 occurs in June, July, and August, and is an exceedingly 

 variable one ; some of the specimens are very similar to 

 European S. htbricipeda, others agree with rosacea, or 

 basilimhata, Butl., and there are intermediate links be- 

 tween all these forms. 



Distribution. Japan ; Yesso ; Amurland ; Corea.
