1881.] OF AMURLAND, NORTH CHINA, AND JAPAN. 875 



Parnassus bremeri, Feld. MSS., Brem. Lep. Ost-Sib. p. 6, t.i. 

 figs. 3, 4. 



Found in many parts of the Amur region flying in thick woods, as 

 I am informed by Dr. Staudinger. 



It is variable in the amount of red spots, like other members of 

 the genus, the common form having no red spots on the fore wing 

 like Bremer's fig. 3. His plate is wrongly numbered and does not 

 agree with the text. 



P. TENEDius, Eversm. Bull. Mosc. 1851, ii. p. 621; Men. 

 Schrenk's Reise, p. 14, t. i. fig. 3, $ . 



Of this very rare species I have seen specimens in Dr. Staudiuger's 

 collection from the Schilka. It appears to be rather an inhabitant 

 of Central Siberia than of Amurland. 



P. eversmanni, Men. Cat. Mus. Petr. i. p. 73, t. i. fig. 2. 



? F. wosnesenskii, Men. loe. cit. p. 74, t. i. fig. 3. 



Of this extremely rare species I have only seen specimens in 

 Mr. Godman's, Dr. Staudiuger's, and the Hevvitson collection. It 

 appears to inhabit the north-eastern parts of Asia and N.W. America, 

 but has not been found by any recent collectors. 



P. GLACiALis, Butler, Journ. Linn. Soc, Zool. ix. p. 50 (1866). 



Discovered by Whitely at Hakodadi, and found also in Central 

 Japan\ It is nearly allied to P. stubbendorji, which varies con- 

 siderably ; but all the Japanese specimens I have seen may be 

 readily distinguished by the different shade of white, blacker veins, 

 and deeper-black border on inner margin of hind wings. 



I think there seems little doubt that this insect was described 

 as P. citrinarius by Motschulsky (Bull. Mosc. 1S66, i. p. 181)), as 

 his description seems to apply very well ; but as this cannot be 

 proved without seeing the type, I refrain from changing the name, 

 es[)ecially as the priority of date is doubtful. 



P. stubbendorfi. Men. Desc. Ins. Lehm. p. 57, t. vi. fig. 2. 

 Seems to be common in the x\mur region and at Askold. 



P. FELDERi, Brem. Lep. Ost-Sib. p. 6, t. i. fig. 5. 



Discovered in the Bureija by Radde, and taken at Raddefskaia on 

 the Amur by Christoph, whence numerous specimens are in Dr. 

 Staudiuger's collection. It is allied to the P. mnemosyne group ; 

 but is readily distinguished by the bright yellow hair on the body, 

 not shown in Bremer's plate. The variety with red spots as figured 

 by him is rare. 



Aporia hippia, Brem. Lep, Ost-Sib. p. 7, t. iii. fig. 1 (1864). 

 Found in the Amur region generally, sometimes flying in the 



^ I have since received from Mr. H. Strecker a note on Butterflies from Corea, 

 among which was a female of P. glacialis.
