There were some specimens from Oiwake and Yesso in 

 Fryer's collection, and I have received others taken by a 

 native collector at Hakodate : June and July. 



This is probably a local form of C. unangulata, Haw.

Occurs at Chang-yang, Ta-chien-lu, Chia-ting-fu, Che-tou, 

 and Omei-shan in June and July. 



The specimens show variation in the width of the lim-s 

 forming the central band and also in the width of the white 

 border of the band ; in a large pro|)ortion of them the second- 

 aries are devoid of marking on the upper surface. 



The examples from Central China are rather smaller than 

 the majority of those from the west, and appear to be more 

 constant in always having the band composed of broad and 

 often confluent lines. 



l)istribv,tion. Europe; Ural; Central and Western China.
