3 o RHOPALOCERA NI MONICA. 



Family SATYRID/E. 



100. Melanitis ismene, Moore. (Pi- 8 . fi g- 7-) 



Locality Yamato. 



Time of appearance October. 



This is a very rare insect. I saw only two specimens in Yamato, both of which I captured. They 

 were flying round the bole of a cryptomeria growing on the mountain pass leading up to Odaisan. 



101. Melanitis leda, Linn. (Pi. 8, fig. 8.)_ 



Localities Tosa, Nikko (Mr. Maries). 

 Time of appearance July, August. 



Very rare. I have one specimen only, captured on the borders of Tosa and lyo, in Shikoku. It was 

 flitting among the tall stems of the cultivated hemp, and was, in consequence, very difficult to capture. I 

 saw only two specimens. 



102. Melanitis n. sp. ? 



Locality Nagasaki. 



I have only one specimen, received from Mr. Ota. My brother informs me that this comes nearest to 

 M. solandra from Tahiti. It would be exceedingly interesting could a large series be obtained. 



103. Mycalesis gotama, Moore. (Pi. 9, fig. i.) 



Locality Yokohama. 

 Time of appearance 



This is very common about Yokohama, where it frequents dark thickets. 



104. Mycahsis perdiccas, Hew. (Pi. 9, fig. 2.) 



I .ocality Yokohama. 

 Time of appearance 



Also .very common, frequenting the same places as M. gotama, which it resembles in markings. 

 Both species appear at the same time. 



105. Ypthima baldus, Fab. (PL 9, fig. 3.) 



Y. argus, But. 



Locallies Yokohama, Asamayama, Ytzo. 

 Time of appearance August. 



One of the most abundant butterflies about Yokohama. I have two specimens very dark in the 

 underside from this locality.
