" About the size of L. cpgon. Fringes broad and white ; the male has all the wings bluish 

 white, with a rather broad black border, the ncrvures black ; in the female, the wings are 

 brown, powdered with bluish white. Underside bluish or brownish white. Fore wings 

 with a discoidal lunule, a central row of ocellated spots and a double row of hind marginal 

 spots enclosing an orange band. Hind wings with four basal spots and discoidal lunule, a 

 central row and double marginal row enclosing an orange band ; this row is often marked 

 with silver as in L. cegon. 



" Hab. Eureja mountains." {Lang, I. c.) 



Japanese specimens of L. deohis are larger and lighter blue on the upper 

 surface than the typical form, and the under surface is darker. Corean 

 specimens are also larger than those from Amurland, but they agree with 

 them in colour. 



Occurs at Gensan, Corea, in June and July, in the mountain districts of 

 Central Japan, and is not uncommon in iVmurland. 



Pryer does not mention this species and probably he had confused it 

 with L. cegon, from which species, as also from L. argus, it may be distin- 

 guished by its usually larger size and rounder wings, and by the males 

 being far less suffused with blue.

 excepting along a broadband parallel to the hind margins. Fore wings with a black discoidal
