Several specimens in coll. Pryer. I bred a male, April 1887, 

 from larva found at Gensan, June 1886. Mr. Butler says that his 

 D. felina " differs from both the European species in the more 

 deeply waved discal hnes, and from D. vinula in its white secondaries;" 

 but I cannot see that my Japanese specimens, which are identical 

 with felina, Butl., differ in any character whatever from D. vinula. 

 Pryer states in his Catalogue that the larva of D. felina, Butl., feeds 

 on willow, and that in all its stages it agrees with D. vinula.
