dark red, tipped with black ; on each side of the body, from the 

 fifth segment onwards, is an irregular network of faint pale markings.

 the under surface of each abdominal segment ; the thoracic segments 

 have each two bright gold spots on the under surface ; the head

99. ArGYNNIS PERRYI? 



? Brenthis perryi, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, ix. p. 16 

 (18S2). 



Tliis insect, which is fairly common at Gensan in July, seems 

 close to A, oscaruS) Eversm., but is larger, paler, and differs on the 

 underside. It is not a constant species. 



100. Argynnis daphne, SchiflF. 



A. rabdia, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. A, xix. p. 93. 

 Yar. fumida, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, ix. p. 16. 

 Not rare in Central Japan and Yesso, and very common at Gen- 

 san, where the specimens are remarkably fine. 



lOL Argynnis ino, Esp. 



Common at Gensan in June and July. The specimens are far 

 larger thau European examples. 



102. Argynnis aglaia, Linn. 



A.fortuna, Janson, Cist. Ent. ii, p. 154 (1877). 

 Occurs plentifully at Gensan in June. I took the same species in 

 N.W. Japan in July ; they compare well with Amur specimens. 



103. Argynnis adippe, Linn. 



Var. chlorodippe, H.-S. 



Var. cleodoxa, Ochs. 



Var. cleodippe. Stand, 



A. pallescens, Butl. Cist. Ent. i. p. 164 (1873). 



A. vorax, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1871, p. 403. 



A. locuples, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vii. p. 134. 



This very variable species is extremely common all over Japan and 

 Corea, as well as several other forms quite as distinct as many named 

 ones, which have so far escaped being separated. I have a fine 

 series from Amurland, which compare well with the Japanese and 

 Corean specimens, of which I took about 250, among which were 

 some wonderful aberrations and varieties. 



104. Argynnis nerippe. 



A. nerippe, Feld. Wien. ent. Mon. vi. p. 24 (1862). 

 • A. c.oreana, Butl. Ann. cS; Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, ix. p. 15 (1882). 

 A very distinct species, common all over Japan and Corea. It 

 differs markedly from adippe, the only species with which it could
