61. Lycena LYCORMAS. 



L. lycormas, Butl. Jouni. Linn. Soc, Zool. ix. p. 57 (1866). 



L. scijUa, Oberth. Et. Ent. v. p. 22. 



Occurs in Yesso, and I believe also in the mountains of Central 

 Japan. It is found also on the Amur. Its nearest European ally is 

 cyllarus, Rott., a very variable species, which also occurs in Amur- 

 land. 



62. Lyc^na euphemus, Hb. 



L. kazamoto, Druce, Cist. Ent. i. p. 361 (1875). 



Occurs in Gensan, Yesso, Kurile Islands, and in mountain 

 districts of Central Japan ; some specimens are remarkably dark, 

 and resemble the alpine forms of Europe. 



63. LyC^NA PRYERl. 



L. pryeri, Murray, Ent. Mon. Mag. x. p. 126 (1873). 



Mr. H. Pryer says that this species is common about Yokohama 

 in the spring. The only specimens I took of it occurred near the 

 summit of Ibuki Yama "(Lake Biwa) at about 5000 feet above the 

 sea in July (about the 18th). 



64. LiBYTHEA LEPITA. 



L. lepita, Moore, Cat. Lep. E. I. C. Mus. i. p. 240. 

 Occurs in Central Japan and also in Yesso. I saw it flyiug in 

 September in the mountains near Oiwake. 



65. DiCHORRAGIA NESIMACHUS, Boisd. 



Fairlv common in Central Japan ; it occurs in mountain districts. 

 I have never seen a living female ; they seem to be very scarce. 



66. Apatura ilia, Schiff. 



Var. clytie, Schiflf. 



A. here, Feld. Wien. ent. Mon. vi. p. 27 (1862). 



A. substituta. Bull. Cist. Ent. i. p.'l59 (1873). 



Common at Gensan and in Yesso in July and August; also in 

 Central Japan. The typical form seems to be much rarer than var. 

 clytie {substituta) just as it is in Europe. 



67. Apatxjra cautaS nov. sp. (Plate XXXV. fig. 2.) 



S . Expanse of wings 3 j inches. 



Fore wing with a very deep indentation on its outer margin ; 

 ground-colour of all the wings hght brown, with a purplish reflection 

 in certain lights. Fore wing — a large irregular-shaped black patch 

 extends from the base to about the middle of the wing, suffused

 ' Memoires sur les Lepidopteres ' (St. Petersbourg, 1887) has been received in 

 London, including a paper by Fixsen, in which 93 Butterflies (besides Moths) 

 from the Oorea are enumerated. Apatura jjrinceps, Fixsen, /. c. p. 289, pi. xiii.
