A fine series, coll. Pryer. 
This species is common all over Japan, Corea, and N. China, and 
there appears to be a succession of broods. It does not seem 
possible to break up the series I have from various localities into 
species. This series is composed of individuals selected from a 
large number of specimens. All the forms described by Butler and 
Guenée as distinct species are represented, and these are so well- 
linked together by intermediate modifications that there is no clear 
line of demarcation to be drawn between them. I am therefore 
obliged to consider all the specimens referable to one exceedingly 
variable species.
