1887.] OF JAPAN AND COREA. 425 



out a small dead branch of a fir tree, on which it hung close to the 

 trunk with the wings folded over its back. They were very easy to 

 see and appeared never to choose a large branch or one more than 

 about fifteen feet above the ground. By working with my net on a 

 long bamboo I succeeded in procuring a long series in a very short 

 time (in May). I also took it in Hakodate in August. Pryer says it 

 is very common in mountain-districts of Central Japan. 



111. MeLANARGIA HALIMEDE. 



M. lialimede, Me'n. Schrenk's Reise, p. 37, t. iii. figs. 6, 7. 

 This species is extremely common at Gensan in July. It is very 

 variable, some specimens being much blacker than others. 



112. Melanitis leda, Linn, 



Var. ismene, Cram. Pap. Ex. i. t. 26. figs. A, B (1775). 

 Recorded from Nikko by Maries, and from the island of Shikoku 

 Ohodaisan in Yamato by Mr. H. Pryer. 



11.3. Mycalests gotama. 



M.gotama, Moore, Cat. Lep. E. I. C. i. p. 232 (1857). 

 Sadarga gotama, Moore, Trans. Eut. Soc. 1880, p. 157. 

 Common in Southern and Central Japan. 



114. Mycalesis perdiccas. 



M.perdiccas, Hew. Ex. Butl. iii. Myc. t. iii. fig. 15 (1862). 



Oareis perdiccas, Moore, Trans. Eut. Soc. 1880, p. 157. 



Mycalesis sangaica, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 4, xix. p. 95. 



Mortanda sangaica, Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1880, p. 169. 



Occurs all over Japan and at Gensan. It appears to me to be quite 

 distinct from the last species. Out of a very large number I have 

 not a single intermediate form. 



115. Ypthima baldus, Fabr. 



T. argus, Butl. Journ. Linn. Soc, Zool. ix. p. 56 (1866). 



Common all over Japan and Corea. Very variable in the size and 

 position of the ocelli, and the shade of the ground-colour of the under- 

 side. 



116. Ypthima MOTSCHULSKYi. 



T. motschulskiji, Brem. & Grey, Schmett. nordl. China's, p. 8; 

 Me'n. Cat. Mus. Petr. i. t. vi. fig. 5. 



A very distinct species, common at Gensan and Fusan. I also 

 took it at Nagasaki. It is a good deal larger that baldus, and has 

 only one ocellus on the hind wing. 



117. ErEBIA SEDAKOVII. 



E. sedakomi, Eversm. Bull. Mosc. 1847, ii. p. 70, t. i. figs. 5, 6. 

 E. niphonica, Jans. Cist. Ent. ii. p. lo3, t. v. fig. 5 (1877). 

 E. scoparia, Butl, P. Z. S. 1881. p. 849. 



This species occurs in mountain-districts of Central Japan and 

 also in Yesso.
