 Kec. 19th. April, 1915. \ 



Since I have published some new Japanese and formosan butter- \ 



flies in the Paper "Entomologische Zeitschrift, Stuttgart " (1909-1910), j 



I have found three more new species and four varieties of butterflies \ 



from Hokkaido, Saghalin and Okinawa, so I want here to diagnose j 



them. i 



1. Polygonia c- album L. ： 

 var. sachalinensis n. (pi. ii, Fig. i.) J 



； Similar to var. hamigera Butl(pl- II, Fig. 2)， but differs in. the ' 

 followingpoints : 



1. Wings larger and broader ； the indentation of the wings much 

 shallower, so that the tail-like projection of the fourth vein much 

 shorter. , 



2. Ground color of the upperside paler, a spot at the end of the j 

 discoidal cell as well as a spot below the same cell (P and II) larger. 



the base of both wings being infuscated. 



3. Green spots of the under side indistinct, the white c-spot very ' 

 narrow and nearly straight, not being so much curved as that of ' 

 hamigera. 



Exp. ― ^ 60 mm. I 

 Hab. ― Saghalin ； 丄 g collected by Messrs. T. Adachi and S, 1 

 Isshiki in Shiska. This may be a new species and I will judge after I 

 collecting many specimens. >
