There was a nice series in Fryer's collection from Yoko- 

 hama and Yesso. I obtained the species in Satsuma in May, 

 at Nagasaki and Fusan in June, and at Shiraonoseki and 

 Tsuruga in July. My native collector took it in the island 

 of Kiusliiu in July. I have also received specimens from 

 Chang-yang, Ichang, Moupin, Pii-tsu-fong, and Huang-mu- 

 chang. 



The Japanese examples range in expanse from 22 millim. 

 ((J) to 30 millim. ( ? ). A series taken at Chang-yang, 

 Central China, in June, average 26 millim. in expanse, whilst 

 the specimens taken at Ichang, Central China, in August, 

 measure 2 millim. less in expanse. 



Distribution. Amur; Japan; Yesso; Kiushiu ; Central 

 and Western China.

This species seems to be generally distributed throughout 

 Japan from May to August. I have also taken specimens at 

 Gensan and in the island of Kiushiu. All are rather darker 

 in colour than European examples. 



Distribution. Europe; Japan; Corea; Kiushiu.
