This is a new record from Hongkong, though common in Japan, 

 Corea, Amurland and Europe. Dr. Moore keeps the Japan form as a 

 distinct species under the name L. japanica. Mr. Leech says that in 

 Japan the larva feeds on Lonicera japanica.^ Thunberg, Natural Order 

 Caprifoliaceas. In England " The White Admiral " feeds also on honey- 

 suckle.
