"not rare in the mountainous parts of central Japan and also 

 in Yezo." Pryer records it from Asamayama Mountain and 

 Nikko, both in Honshu, and from Yezo (Hokkaido). 



I have taken Ismene aquilina in the following localities: 

 Honshu, Yamato Province (Dorokawa, August) ; Hokkaido 

 (Yezo), Oshima Province (Junsai Numa, July, August); 

 Shiribeshi Province (Iwanai, August) ; Ishikari Province (Sap- 

 poro, August; Jozankei, August). I captured it in great num- 

 bers at Jozankei, near Sapporo, where it frequented the flowers 

 of a giant thistle which grew from 2 to 3 meters high. I also 

 found it in profusion on the summit of Raiden Toge (Pass) on 

 the way to Iwanai in Hokkaido (Yezo). Miyajima gives the 

 time of appearance as July and August which coincides with the 

 months mentioned by me above. In Honshu this species appears 

 to be a mountain butterfly, but in Hokkaido it frequents the 

 plains, being also found in great abundance in the mountains.

The larva figured (Plate II, fig. 7) was taken July 29, 1902, at 

 Hakodate, Oshima Province, Hokkaido (Yezo) , on bamboo-grass, 

 Japanese name, sasa-gusa ( ? Lophatherum elatum S. and Z.) . A 

 female imago emerged from the resulting pupa on August 17, 

 1902. The following descriptions of the larva and pupa are 

 taken from my original figures :
