There were several specimens from Oiwake, Nikko, and 

 Yesso in Fryer's collection. I have also received the species 

 from Chang-yang, June. 



Most of the Japanese examples of L. marginata in my 

 series are referable to the form which Butler has named opis, 

 but some are very typical. 



Grseser also records var. opis from Amurland (Berl. ent. 

 Zeit. 1888, p. 391).
