110 Mr. A. G. Butler on Lepidoptera from 



The specimens are all males ; they are a trifle larger and 

 brighter in colour than Japanese specimens ; and the black 

 spots of the discal series vary in size. 



3. Argynnis coreana.

The specimens are all males, and seem to approach much 

 nearer to A. nerippe £ than the original specimens; the 

 brand on the first median of primaries is either wholly absent 

 or feebly indicated as in typical A. nerippe^ whereas in A. 

 coreana type it is so much expanded as to form a marked 

 feature in the pattern of the insect. 



4. Argynnis vorax.

 Exot. p. 151, pi. liv. fig. 1 (1871). 



$ . Paler above than the male ; much like a large form of 

 A. chloradippe $ , but with the black spots rather nar- 

 Tower : below also much like an exaggerated female of that 

 species, but altogether paler with the silver spots larger but 

 less brilliant ; the secondaries less golden, with the ocelli and 

 inner edges of the submarginal silver spots very dark. As in 

 the male, the primaries are far more falcate than in A. chlora- 

 dippe, and the abdominal margin of the secondaries longer. 



£ ? ♦ Jinchuen (E. B. Levett). 



Only a single pair of this species was obtained ; the male 

 only differs from the type from Shanghai in its heavier sub- 

 marginal spots. It differs much, on the underside, from the 

 female, the ground-tint being, as usual, much brighter, the 

 primaries being destitute of silver spots, and the secondaries 

 having no trace of silver on the submarginal spots. It thus 

 more nearly resembles A. alexandra, Herr.-Sch.
