Ilah. — Nagasaki; a single specimen of var. A (JNIr. 
Lewis), The same variety has been sent from Tsu Sima 
by Messrs. Bowring and A. Adams. I have also received 
it from eastern Siberia (the borders of the River Angara) ; 
the form with entirely pale legs appears to be confined to 
eastern Europe.

Hah. — Nagasaki ; 2,000 feet above the sea level ; also 
Chusan ; collected by Mr. A. Adams. 
This species, which was previously described by me fi-om 
a single specimen taken at Chusan by Mr. A. Adams, 
proves to be very variable ; no two individuals taken by 
Mr. LcAvis agreeing exactly in their markings. 
I have no doubt but that the description by Swartz in 
Schonherr of L. quadripunctata was drawn up from a 
variety of this species with immaculate thorax. The 
name, howev^er, cannot stand, having been previously used 
by Olivier for an insect belonging to the same genus. 
Lema delicatula.
