 green, the anterior wing with a dark streak at the eud of the cell. Underside pale drab,

Yar. euphemia, Staudinger. The male is usually less blue and the spots are longer, in this 

 respect approaching L. arion; the female is darker and some examples of this sex are 

 altogether without markings. 



This species occurs in the mountainous districts of Central Japan, Avhere 

 it is generally represented by the form kazamoto, although some specimens 

 are marked Avith blue. The examples from Yesso approach nearer to the 

 typical form of L. €U])liemus. At Gensan, in the Corea, the var. euphemia, 

 Staudinger, occurs, together with specimens which are not separable from 

 Swiss examjiles ; this form is also recorded by Dr. Fixsen from the nortli 

 of Pekin. Some examples from the north of Pekin and one male specimen 

 from Sidemi are stated by Dr. Staudinger to be nearly black and would seem 

 therefore to l^e referable to the var. kazamoto ; and I have two aberrant 

 specimens of L. euphemus from the Ural whicli are not separable from tliat 

 form.
