188/.] OF JAPAN AND COREA. 419 



70. EURIPUS JAPONICUS. 



Euripus japonica, Feld. Wiea. ent. Mon. vi. p. 27 (1862). 



Common in Southern and Central Japan. I found it plentifully 

 in the provinces of Higa and Satsuma in May, and again in Central 

 Japan in July, where the specimens were smaller and darker. It is 

 also recorded from Yesso and N. Japan. 



71. Hestina assimilis, Linn. 



Recorded from Japan. I never met with it, and it is not included 

 in Mr. Fryer's catalogue of the Lepidoptera of Japan. I have 

 specimens taken at Ningpo in June ; also recorded from S. Corea. 



72. Adolias schrenki. 



A. schrenki. Men. Bull. Acad. Petr. xvii.p. 215 (1859); Schrenk's 

 Reise, ii. p. 31, t. iii. fig. 2. 



I took this rare species at Port Lazaref near Gensan, in July ; it 

 did not appear to be very plentiful. 



7.3. LiMENITIS helmanni. 



L. helmanni, Lederer, Verh. zool.-bot. Gesellsch. Wieu, 1853, 

 p. 3;iC, t. i. fig. 4. 



L. homeyeri, Tancre, Ent. Nachr. 1881, p. 120. 



Very comuion at Gensan in June and July, 1 also took it at Fusan 

 (S.E. Corea) and at Nagasaki; in the Nagasaki specimens the bands 

 and spots are narrower and smaller. 



74. LiMENiTis SIBYLLA, Linn. 



Occurs commonly all over Japan and Corea. In many of the 

 Japanese specimens the fourth white spot from the costa of the fore 

 wing is as large as the rest, thus causing the band to be continuous. 



75. Cyrestis thy'odamas. 



C. thijodamas, Boisd., Doubl. & Ilewit. Gen. Diurn. Lep. t. 32. 

 fig. 3 (1848). 



Recorded by Mr. H. Pryer from Yamato and Kiushiu. 



76. Neptis aceris. 



N. aceris, Lepechin, Reise, i. p. 203, t. xvii. figs. 5, 6. 



Var. intermedia, Pryer. 



A good local form of aceris, occurring very commonly in Japan 

 and Corea, also N. China. 



The underside is much darker than in European specimens, being 

 almost chocolate-colour ; it is very variable in the proportion of 

 black and white, also in size. A succession of broods occurs 

 during the warm months. 



77' Neptis lucilla, SchifF. 



Var. ludmilla, Herr.-Schaff. 



Occurs in Japan, Yesso, and Corea ; it is not nearly so common as 



aceris.
