Mr. Elwes remarks that this species comes very near A. laodice, Pall. It looks like a hybrid, but the 

 specimens in my possession are as yet too few to enable me to give a decided opinion on the subject.

This is scarce about Yokohama, but I generally see two or three every year. It is much more 

 abundant on the mountains, and I have taken as many as five specimens, at one sweep of the net, on the 

 summit of a mountain in Yamato, near Yoshino, on the path leading to O-mine San-jo-san.
