1881.] OF AMURLAND, NORTH CHINA, AND JAPAN. 885 



Thecla arata, Brem. Lep. Ost-Sib. p. 25, t. iii. fig. 6 (1864). 

 ? T. tyrianthina, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vol. vii. 

 p. SA, t. iv. fig. 5. 



I have seen specimens of this from the Amur, Japan, Yesso {Mus. 

 Hew.), Kiukiang, China (Maries). It is also found at Pekin 

 {Bremer). The Yesso specimen is smaller than the others ; but the 

 one described as T. tyrianthina from Kiukiang appears to be nearlv 

 the same as T. arata, though the specimens are too mucii worn to 

 be relied on.

 p. 34., t. iv. fig. 2. 



Of this species the male only is described by Bremer, from Pekin ; 

 but a female specimen is in Pryer's collection from Shanghai which, I 

 think, must belong to it. What I think is probably the same insect 

 is also mentioned by Butler as T. betuloides, from Kiukiang (Maries). 

 It is allied to T. setira, Moore, from the north-west Himalaya. 



Three specimens, two males and one female, from Chefoo, in Dr. 

 Staudinger's collection diifer slightly in being of a yellower ground- 

 colour below than in my specimen ; and the male has the red on disk of 

 fore wing more distinct than in Bremer's figure. 



T. avidiena, Hew. Ent. Mo. Mag. 1877, p. 108. 



A very distinct species, which I have seen from Siianghai (Pryer) 

 and Kiukiang (Maries). The disks of both wings above are bluish ; 

 beneath it is of a reddish brown, with a broad silvery Y-shaped bar 

 on the hind wings. 



T. c^rulescens, Motsch. Bull. Mosc. 18(36, i. p. 191. 

 I am unable to identify this species, which is described as like the 

 next but without yellow spots. 



T. c^RULEA, Brem. & Grey, p. 8 (1853); Men. Cat. Lep. Mus. 

 Petr. t. iv. fig. 4. 



I have never seen this species, which has hitherto only been found 

 at Pekin. It is unknown in any of the collections I have seen. 



T. ATTiLiA, Brem. Lep. Ost-Sib. p. 24, t. ii. fig. 3. 



Found in the Bureija Mountains by Radde ; also in Japan. 



It seems allied to T. odata, Moore, from the N.W. Himalaya. It 

 does not seem to occur generally in the Amur region, as Dr. Stau- 

 dinger has never seen it in collections from there.

Felder's description, which was taken from a single bad specimen 

 from Foochow, agrees very well with Hewitson's figure, and with a 

 specimen in Pryer's collection from Ningpo. It is a large insect, 

 resembling T. w-album in markings, but with the costa of fore wings 

 more curved.
