A common insect in Japan and Corea. My collectors met 

 with it in all the localities thej visited in Central and 

 Western China. 



The Japanese specimens (referable to conferenda, Butl.) 

 are generally darker in colour, but they all have the charac- 

 teristic markings of consortaria. 



The Chinese specimens are tinged with cinnamon-brown, 

 and some examples are much larger than the type. 



Distribution. Europe ; Amur ; Askold ; Corea ; Japan ; 

 Western and Central China.
