1889.] LEPIDOPTERA OF JAPAN AND COREA. 481 



M. divergens in another. For instance, a specimen, which as far as 

 regards the relation of inner and outer stripes is of the divergens 

 form, has the outer stripe regularly denticulated. Another example 

 with most of the typical characters has the reniform quite as large 

 as any specimen of M. divergens. 



The inner stripe is ill defined in some specimens, and in others it 

 is entirely eliminated, whilst the outer stripe may or may not be 

 denticulated ; further, the outer stripe is, in three examples, only 

 faintly indicated and in two others is quite absent. The colour and 

 markings of secondaries are subject to much modification on both 

 surfaces.

The primaries vary in colour from chestnut-brown through 

 ochreous brown to ochreous grey ; the transverse lines, usually dis- 

 tinct, are sometimes only faintly visible, and in one specimen from 

 Gensan almost entirely obliterated. In this last example the median 

 nerve and branches are whitish.
