 darker than Fryer's, which was taken in Yesso. My native collector

A nice series, coll Pryer. 



I took specimens at Gensan and several places in Japan in July, 

 August, and October.

 one, there are typical examples of A. pyramidea and forms agreeing 

 with both A. mono'itha and A. magna and other forms which link 

 these together. There is also one example of Oberthiir's var. 

 obscura.
