In Fryer's collection there were specimens from Oiwake 

 and Yokohama. I obtained the species at Gensan in 

 June, and my native collector at Hakodate and Nikko. A 

 nice series was received from Chang-yang, Moupin, 

 Wa-shan, Omei-shan, Chia-kou-ho, and the province of 

 Kwei-chow, June and July.

 extremes. The abdomen is sometimes of the normal yellow
