1881.] OF AMURLAND, NORTH CHINA, AND JAPAN. 9ll 



Plesioneura phodicus, Hew.? 



I cannot find any reference to the description of this species, 

 which was so named in Fryer's collection. 



From China, withont any locality indicated ; other specimens are 

 in Godman and Salvin's collection, marked Mongolia. 



It is nearly allied to Satarupa sambaru, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, 

 p. 781, which has very similar markings, though larger and other- 

 wise distinct. 



Pterygospidea maculosa, Feld. Reise Nov. p. 528, t. 73. 

 no. 7(1867). 



Described from Shanghai. In Hewitson's collection this species has 

 been identified with Plesioneura pulomaya, Moore, from Sikkim ; but 

 Chinese specimens of what I believe is Felder's species differ con- 

 siderably from P. pulomaya in the marking of the hind wings beneath. 



P. siNiCA, Feld. Wien. ent. Mon.vi. p. 30 (1862). 

 Ningpo. 



1 Daimio felderi, Bull. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 4, vii. p. 140. 

 Japan {Maries). 



I do not know whether I am right in uniting these, but the 

 Japanese insect, which I have seen, appears to agree fairly with 

 Felder's description and agrees with an insect from Ningpo in Fryer's 

 collection. 



Daimio tethys, Murr. 



Pt/rffus tethys, Men. Enuni. p. 126, t. x. fig. 8 (1855). 



Daimio tethys, Murr. Ent. Mo. Mag. 1875, p. 17 . 



Pyrgus tethys, Oberthiu', Et. Ent. v. p. 24. 



Japan (Fryer), Askold (Janloivshy), N. China (David). 



Murray creates the genus Daimio for this insect, on account of 

 the formation of the antennae and palpi. 



It is common in Japan ; and I have also specimens from Askold 

 and N. China. It is very variable in size and in the markings of 

 the hind wings, which in some specimens have an ill-defined trans- 

 verse white band. 



M. Oberthiir says he has varieties from North China and Amur- 

 land, which 1 should imagine from the description may be inter- 

 mediate between this species and the last. 



Antigonus vasava, Moore, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 786. 

 Described from Darjiling. A single specimen is in Fryer's col- 

 lection from Shanghai; and it is reported to occur in Japan. 



Famphila mencia, Moore, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 4, xx 

 p. .')2. 



Of this obscure species I have only seen one specimen, from 

 Shanghai, collected by Fryer. Moore says the wings are much 

 broader than in P. sinensis, Mabille, and the hind wing not lobed. 

 Of this P. sinensis I know nothing, and can find no published de- 

 scription of it.
