140 Mr. A. G. Butler on Butterflies from Japan. 



In Yesso Mr. Maries caught the female of a species which 

 in 1862 we received the male of from Hakodate. It is allied 

 to P. mencius of Felder (males of which Mr. Maries obtained 

 at Kiukiang, China) ; but the wings are darker, the tails on 

 the secondaries are more slender, the submarginal lunules are 

 absent from the upper surface of the male secondaries, and are 

 less arcuate and smaller upon the upper surface of the female. 

 To this species I give the name of P. hcematostictus. 



Pamphila herculea, sp. n. 



Allied to P. sylvanus, considerably larger ; the male of a 

 clearer, more ochraceous colour above, and on the under surface 

 of a more uniformly tawny colour; the secondaries not yel- 

 lowish, as in P. sylvanus ; pattern similar. Expanse of wings 

 1 inch 7 lines. 



$ . Above bronzy brown or chocolate-brown, with cupreous 

 reflections : primaries with a yellow dot just above the basal 

 third of submedian vein ; a cuneiform spot filling the base of 

 the first median interspace ; a bifid spot at the end of the cell j 

 a series of five quadrate spots, excised in front, crossing the 

 disk obliquely from submedian to upper radial vein, and a 

 trifid spot across the subcostal branches, halfway between the 

 cell and the apex, buff: secondaries with an angular discal 

 series of five ochreous spots. Wings below with the markings 

 paler than above, the spots creamy whitish or pale bone-yel- 

 low ; disk of primaries round the borders of the oblique series 

 of spots olive-brown ; external angle and outer border whity 

 brown : secondaries bronzy olive-brown, the discal series con- 

 sisting of six spots ; anal angle broadly ochreous ; outer border 

 tinted with ochraceous ; palpi white ; body below bluish grey. 

 Expanse of wings 1 inch 7^ lines. 



One pair only was obtained. 



Daimio Felderi^ sp. n. 



Dark brown, with white markings : primaries exactly as in 

 D. tethys : secondaries crossed by a white belt, which passes 

 through a nearly complete circular series of black spots ; anal 

 three fourths of fringe and four marginal spots white : poste- 

 rior margins of abdominal segments white. Base of secondaries 

 and body below bluish grey. Expanse of wings 1 inch 6 lines. 



A tolerably common species ; its position is between D. 

 tethys and D. sinica of Felder ; it appears to represent the 

 latter in Japan, and differs from it in the smaller spots on the 

 primaries, and in the black spots being visible upon the white 

 belt of the secondaries.
