A fine series, coll. Pryer. 



This species is common all over Japan, Corea, and N. China, and 

 there appears to be a succession of broods. It does not seem 

 possible to break up the series I have from various localities into 

 species. This series is composed of individuals selected from a 

 large number of specimens. All the forms described by Butler and 

 Guenee as distinct species are represented, and these are so well- 

 linked together by intermediate modifications that there is no clear 

 line of demarcation to be drawn between them. I am therefore 

 obliged to consider all the specimens referable to one exceedingly 

 variable species.
