Heteroccra from China, Japan, and Gorea. 157 



Fryer's collection, and I obtained a female specimen at 

 Gensan. 



Alpheraky records a typical female from Ou-pin. 



As the Eastern Asian specimens of this species differ 

 slightly from European examples, Dr. Staudinger has 

 named the form amuri. He records a specimen from 

 Amurland which is without markings on secondaries ; 

 this appears to be referable to D. irene, But).

Probably only an aberration of D. russula. I have a 

 German example of the latter species which is without 

 black marking on both surfaces of the secondaries.

Dr. Staudinger states that this species in Amurland is 

 exceedingly variable, and that the males always have 

 white secondaries. Graeser described a form under the 

 name floccosa, of which I have received four males and 

 two females from Nicolajefsk. Lcucomcra,-^\xi\., resembles 

 var. hospita on the secondaries, but approaches more nearly 

 to var. matronalis on the primaries. Macromera, ButL, is 

 a large modification of the type form, the secondaries in 

 both sexes being of the usual pale yellow. Melanomera, 

 Butl, is the Japanese representative of the European var. 

 matronalis.
