Hub. Japan [Pryev, 188G). Three specimens. 



In the male type the third fascia is continued to the tornus, 

 a short half-fascia from behind the middle of the dorsum 

 lying on its inner side ; moreover the fourth fascia is not 

 interrupted, but ends on the termeu above the tornus. The 

 species therefore seems to be somewhat variable.
