 Under surface pale greyish ; primaries have a black discoidal spot surrounded with whitish ;

 series of black spots, which, together with the discoidal spot, are ringed with whitish, and two 

 marginal rows, the latter enclose a faint orange band, and the spots near anal angle are

I found this species in July at Gensan, Corea, but it seems to be rare. A 

 female specimen is also recorded by Dr. Fixsen from Corea. M. Oberthiir 

 mentions it from the Isle of Askold, and says that it occurs there in June and 

 August, and that the specimens are larger than those from the Altai. 

 Staudinger (Rom. sur Lep. vi. p. 158) records E. {L.) fischeri from various 

 parts of Amurland, the Ural, Saissan, Corea, and China.
