(? ? . The ordinar}- form has the npperside of the body and forewing more or 

 less bright olive-green, bnt there occur also specimens with the green replaced by 

 reddish brown. This form was discovered by Popoff at Kiachta, and described 

 by Eversmann under the name of eversmanni, given to it in lift, by Popoff, who had 

 apparently several specimens. There are two individuals of this form in tlie Paris 

 Mnseum correctly identified as eversmanni. Staudinger redescribed a Kiaclita 

 individual (bred in May 18;"):")) as hrnnnra, not knowing that his individual was tlie 

 true eeersmanni, and doubtless one of the specimens distributed by I'opoft'. Partel^ 

 I.e., has correctly quoted brtinnea as a synonym of eversmanni. By some oversight 

 eversmanni is sunk as a synonym of Uifarinovi in Stand. & Reb.'s Catalogue, / c.^ 

 and brunnm kept as the name of the reddish brown form. Both Menetries and 

 Boisduval, U.c.c, mentioned the brown form ; Butler, I.e., overlooked the name of 

 eversmanni. Leech records a brown si)ecimen from Japan (now in the Britisli 

 Museum), and refers it doubtfully to •' lin/nnea." We have another Japanese 

 individual agreeing with erer.^i/niniii (— /jri/nnea). The brown f )rni, tlierefore, is 

 not local. The synonymy is as follows :

There does not seem to be any difference between Japanese and Continental 

 tatarinovi. The relationship of this species with C. rubricosa has not been 

 recognised except by Swinhoe. Bartel, I.e., p. 142, erroneously attributes only one 

 ])air of hindtibial spurs to tatarinovi. 



Paronychium with the upjier lobe very slender, the lower one broader, but 

 short and heavily ciliate. Tlie red colour on the underside of the forewing variable 

 in extent. 



(?. Tenth abdominal tergite slenderer than in the other species, gradually 

 narrowed to the obtuse end and curved downwards ; npperside convex, punctured 

 distally, clothed with short dispersed hairs ; tenth sternite reduced, witliont lobe ; 

 ninth tergite with long hair-scales. Clasper (PI. XXXIV. f. 20) : apical half 

 narrowed to form a rather slender lobe, which varies in breadth, but is always 

 curved upwards, and on the inner surface rougli with small tubercles ; a subdorsal 

 fold {jj(l), connected distally with the dorsal edge of the clasper, projects above the 

 harpe and is beset with numerous setiferous tubercles ; harpe of the same type as 

 in poeciliLf and ridrieosa, with two distal processes which stand close together, the 

 n[)per one somewhat longer than the lower. Penis-sheath (PI. XXIX. f. 45) 

 dorsaily prolonged into a narrow flap with which the membrane of the duct is 

 connected ; in the contracted state of the duct the flap, which is dentate, is 

 concealed in the interior of the sheath.
