Several specimens, coll. Pryer. 



I took examples at Gensan in July, Hakodate in August, and 

 Sendai in September. 



In size Japanese specimens range from 75 millim. to 86 nr.illim. in 

 expanse, giving an average of 80 millim., whilst European specimens 

 in my collection vary from 70 millim. to 82 millim., average 77 millim. 

 The colour of primaries varies from silvery grey through ochreous 

 grey to dark grey (Gensan examples), and there is some modification 

 in the width of the band of secondaries ; but altogether there is really 

 nothing to separate C. zalmunna, Butl., from the European C electa.
