MISCELLANEOUS NOTES ON SOME JAPANESE 

 BUTTERFLIES. 



日本 產蝶 類雜記 



The butterflies enumerated below are recognised to occur rarely or 

 locally in Japan and some of them are not yet familiar to both Japanese 

 and to foreigners. 



1 Apatura ilia Schiffer-miller (pi. ii. Fig. i) 



Var. clytie is very common in every part of Japan, but this is rare. 

 In Prov. of Hyüga (iviushiu) it is said that this is frequently to be 

 met with. 



2. Erebia ligea L. var. ajanensis Menetries (pi. n, Fig. 2 ) 



This was discovered once about 25 years ago by Mr. K. Kanai on 

 Mt. Yatsugadake, the height of which is about 96Ö0 feet, in Prov. of 

 Shinano. About 15 years after that time, this species was rediscovered 

 on Mt. Shiromma which is also one of the hig^hest mountains about lOOOO 

 feet in height in the same province. After that it has been regarded as a 

 native of Japan. Its haunts are only on the high mountains of Shinano. 



3. Oeneis jutta Hübner (pi. n， Fig. 3) 



The first discovery of this was made in Central Honshiu i e. in the 

 Japanese Alps in Prov. of Shinano in 1912. This is a pure alpine 

 species. According to the opinion of Mr. S. Chi no, a Lepidopterolooist 

 in Shinano, the long concealment of this from our butterfly-hunters is 

 chiefly due to its being neglected owing to the apparent likeness of this 

 spec is to certain moths which are also found on these high mountains. 



4. Coenonympha hero perseis Led. (pi n, Fig. 4) 



It occurs in Japan also very locally i.e. only in Saghalien and Hokkai- 

 do, especially in the former. 



5. Zephyrus ibara Butler (pi. 11， Fig. 5) 

 Dr. Seitz said: 



" Here belong, further, two Japanese forms described by Butler. Of 

 the one, ibara Butler, only a few 宇き are known, and it is possible that
