The male has the under surface of the secondaries coloured

Two very much worn female examples were obtained,

 the year.

10. Argynnis coreana, sp. n. 



Nearly allied to A. nerippe of Felder, but the sexes more 

 equal in size ; the black spots on both surfaces of both sexes 

 considerably smaller, those upon the median interspaces of the 

 primaries not quadrate on either surface ; ground-colouring

 median branch very broad and prominent, and the submar- 

 ginal spots isolated instead of united into a band as on the 

 female ; on the under surface also all the spots are smaller,

 altogether greener colour, with the black lines on the basal
