There are two male specimens in the collection of the Station. I 

 have not seen one in nature. 



23. Dichorragia nesiraachus Boisd. {Sumi-nagasht). 



Leech, Butt. China, 1, p. 132 (1894); de Niceville, Butt. Ind., ir, p. 141, 

 pl. xix, fig. 82 (18S6); Pryer, Rhop. Ninon., p. 22.pl. 5, fig. 10 

 (1886); Adolias nesnnachus Boisd., Moore, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 

 1859, p. 83. 



I have only once seen an example of the species at Nakayamagoshi 

 in Dogo on Aug. 10th. Mr. Tanaka told me that he had never 

 before seen this butterfly in the island. 



24. Argynnis paphia L. (Ryofaishoku-hyömon). 



Leech, Butt. China, 1, p. 239 (1894); Pryer, Rhop. Nihon., p. 29, pi. 8, 

 fig. 4 (1889); Argynnis paphioidcs Butl., Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (5), vii, 

 p. 134(1881). 



Very common in both D5zen and Dögo ; especially abundant in the 

 former locality. I have often met with the butterfly resting on the 

 branches of way-side shrubs in so numerous a number that it looked to 

 constitute the foliage. Such a scene can never be witnessed in the main 

 island of Japan, though on one occasion I have seen a case like it in 

 Hokkaido. 



25. Argynnis niphe L. (Tszimaguro-hyomon). 



Leech, Butt. China, 1, p. 243 (1894); de Niceville, Butt. Ind., 11, p. 131 

 (18S6) ; Pryer, Rhop. Nihon., p. 28, pi. 7, figs. 8 a, S b (1889). 



I have captured four male specimens on Mt. Akahage in Chiburi, 

 Dozen, where also two females were seen flying. 



26. Argynnis adippe L. {Uragin-hyômon). 



Leech, Butt. China, 1, p. 232 PI. xxii, figs. 3, 4, 5, vars (1S94) ; Pryer, 

 Rhop. Nihon., p. 28, pi. 7, figs. 1,2 (1889); Argynnis j arax Butl.,
