892 MR. H. J. KLWES ON THE BUTTERFLIES [NoV. 15, 



The Amur speciaiens are somewhat larger than European 

 examples. 



Apatura ilia, Schiff. S, V. p. 172. 



Var. clytie, Schiff. S. V. p. 321. 



A. here, Feld. AVien. ent. Mon. vi. p. 27 (1862). 



A. suhstituta, Butl. Cist. Ent. i. p. 159 (1873). 



Found in Amurland, at Pekin, Shanghai, and in South and Cen- 

 tral Japan. The form described as A, here, from Ningpo, is said by 

 Felder to differ constantly in the termination of the interior band of 

 the hind wing, less easily seen in the male than the female ; but 

 Dr. Staudinger agrees with me in uniting it with A. clytie. Oberthiir 

 says Askold specimens do not differ from the Frencli type ; and the 

 Japanese form, though varying somewhat, is probably the same as 

 the Chinese insect. Some specimens come very close in colour to the 

 var. metis from Sarepta, but have the anal ocellus as large as in A. ilia. 



Hestina assimilis, Linn. Mus. Ulr. p. 300 (17G4). 



Found in Central China and in Japan, though I have no speci- 

 mens from the latter country. 



EuRiPUS charonda. Hew. Ex. Butt. iii. t. 1. fig. 1 (1863), 



Not rare in Japan, but extremely difficult to take in good condi- 

 tion, on account of its strong and high flight. 



Perfect specimens of this splendid insect are verv rare in collec- 

 tions. 



E. JAPONICA, Feld. Wien. ent. Mon. vi. p. 2/ (1862). 

 Common in Central Japan. 



Adolias schrenki. Men. Bull. Acad. Peters, xvii. p. 215 (1859) ; 

 Schrenk's Reise, ii. p. 31, t. iii. fig. 2. 



Taken at Raddefskaia, on the Ussuri, and elsewhere in Amurland. 

 Paraplesia adelma, Feld. "Wien. ent. Mon. vi. p. 20 (1862). 



Isodema adelma, Feld. Wien. ent. Mon. vii. p. 109 ; Reise Nov., 

 Lep. iii. t. 54. figs. 1, 2. 



Of this fine species I have seen two specimens from the Ningpo 

 hills in Pryer's collection. 



In this genus the discal cell is completely closed by a vein, which, 

 though not very apparent on the upper surface, is' strongly deve- 

 loped below. 



Athyma sulpitia, Cr. Pap. Ex. iii. t. 214 (1782). 



A. sulpitia, var. niiiffpoana, Feld. "Wien. ent. Mon. vi. p. 26. 



The variety described by Felder from the Ningpo hills is said 

 to differ from the form found in South China in having the spots 

 of the cell confluent, forming a stripe, and in other characrers. Tliere 

 is a specimen from the Snowy "Valley which is probably this, as it 

 does not agree well with Cramer's plate.
