1881.] OF AMURLAND, NORTH CHINA, AND JAPAN. 891 



LvCiENA ARioN, Liiin. Syst. Nat. x. p. 483. 

 Of this I have only seen one specimen, from Raddefskaia ; and 

 Radde took a single very large one in the Bureija Mountains. 



L. EUPHEMus, Hb. 254-256. 



?Z. hazamoio, Druce, Cist. Ent. 1875, p. 361. 



The type of L. kazamoto, which I have examined in Godman 

 and Salvin's collection, is very dark, the spots hardly showing ; but 

 I think it is only a variety of L. euphemus, which seems extremely 

 variable in Japan. It is marked as taken at 6000 feet elevation. 

 Japanese specimens vary much in the expanse of the wings ; and most 

 of them have a black spot at the base of the fore wing below, which 

 does not appear in European specimens. 



This species seems common in certain parts of Central Japan, and 

 occurs also at Yesso (JVhitely) and at Raddefskaia in Amurland. 



LiBYTHEA, sp. 



L. lepita, Moore, Cat. Lep. E.I. C. Mus. p. 240. 



The Japanese species q{ Libythea has been referred by authors to 

 i. lepita, Moore, from the Himalayas, which is described as differing 

 from Jj. myrrha, Godt., in the ferruginous streak from base of fore 

 wing being divided into two portions — the first within the discoidal 

 cell, the second a round terminal spot beyond its extremity. 



Six specimens from Sikkim and Nepal iu my collection all belong 

 to L, myrrha ; and a specimen from Japan is intermediate between 

 that and the European L. celtis, to some specimens of which it comes 

 near in the arrangement of the markings. The band on the hind 

 wing is narrower than in either L. myrrha or L. celtis ; and the 

 colour of the underside different. 



Zemeros flegyas, Cr. Pap. Ex. iii. t. 280. 



A single specimen was iu Fryer's Shanghai collection ; and it is 

 included in his list of Chinese Butterflies in Ent. Month. Mag. 

 1877, p. 52. 



Charaxes narceus. Hew. Ex. Butt. i. Nymph, t. 1. 

 Var. mandarinus, Feld. Reise Nov. p. 437. 

 Found at Shanghai by Pryer. 



DicHORRAGiA NESiMACHTJs, Boisd., Cuv. Rcgnc An. Ins. ii. 

 t. 139 bis (1836). 



Not uncommon in Japan, and probably found in China, though 

 I have seen no specimens from there. It agrees with Sikkim speci- 

 mens, though the white markings at the apex of the fore wing are 

 shorter. 



Apatura iris, Linn. Syst. Nat. x. p. 476. 



Found in the Bureija Mountains by Radde, and at Raddefskaia 

 and Askold. It is reported to exist in Japan ; but I have never 

 seen specimens from there.
