406 MR. J. H. LEECH ON THE BUTTERFLIES [May 3, 



10. Papilio mikado, nov. sp. (Plate XXXV. fig. 1.) 



Expanse of wings 3^ inches. 



Ground-colour of all the wings black ; a narrow straw-coloured 

 streak extends across the base of the fore wing interrupted by the 

 veins. All the wings covered with straw-coloured spots, consisting 

 of a submarginal series of fairly uniform spots running round the 

 outer margin of the wing ; a subcostal series of eight spots, three of 

 which are situated in the discoidal cell, a discal series of six grad- 

 uated spots on the fore wing, which is continued ou the hind wing in 

 a wedge-shaped mass, tapering to a blunt point near the anal angle 

 and divided into two by the median vein ; the first two spots of the 

 submarginal series of the hind wing, the anal luuule, the upper part 

 of the wedge-shaded mass, and the interior of tiie abdominal fold are 

 very pale yellow. Underside, a reproduction of the upper surface 

 with most of the spots enlarged and whiter, and with the addition 

 of a yellow spot at the base of the hind wing, and an irregular 

 arrangement of yellow markings between the discal and submarginal 

 spots of the hind wing. 



I took a single male specimen about May 20th near Kagoshima in 

 the Province of Satsuma. The nearest allied species is P. eurypylus. 



11. LUEHDORFIA PUZILOI, Ersch. 



This is a very early species ; it occurs in Yesso, and Mr. H. Pryer 

 has recently discovered a new locality for it iu Central Japan.

A very variable species ; out of a series of about 33 specimens 

 which I took at Gensan at the end of June and beginning of July, 

 no two specimens are alike , and they all differ slightly from any 

 specimens in the National collection. 



13. Parnassius glacialis. 



P. glacialis, Butl. Journ. Linn. Soc , Zool. ix. p. 50 (1866^. 



Occurs at Nikko and Hakodate in June and July, also iu Corea 

 (^H. Strecker). It is not an alpine species, as its name would lead 

 one to suppose, but occurs at a very slight elevation in Central Japan 

 and on the sea-level at Hakodate.
