not mention to which of these specimens his description refers. The figure 

 appears to represent a female. 



Dr. Fixsen records two specimens from Corea. 



Var. flamen, Leech. (Plate XXVIII. fig. 10, 2 .) Ground-colour of all the wings dull orange, 

 deeply bordered round the costal and outer margins with black ; veins of the hind wings 

 deeply marked with black towards the outer margin ; a small black spot occurs near the outer 

 margin of the secondaries between the first and second median nervules. Fringes short, dirty 

 white. Under surface of all the wings yellowish buff, outer margins bordered by a narrow 

 black line ; a submarginal band of bright orange elongated spots, bordered on each side by a 

 row of silver spots, runs round the wings, interrupted at the inner angle of the primaries by 

 a conspicuous black double spot : there is a small black spot on primaries between the fifth 

 orange spot and outer margin, and a row of three black spots near the anal angle of 

 secondaries. 



This form agrees Avith the type in being destitute of tails and in having the 

 same design on the under surface. It is, however, much larger, and there is 

 a larger proportion of black on the upper surface ; in this latter character it 

 resembles Z. michaelis. 



Dr. Staudinger (Rom. sur Lep. vi. p. 146) considers flamen to be synonymous 

 with raphaelis, Oberthiir, but he does not give his reasons. I should have 

 been disposed, however, to keep flamen distinct from raphaelis, if I had not 

 seen Z. michaelis, var. gabrielis, from China, which stands in the same relation 

 to the type of that species as the type of raphaelis does to flamen. 



I only succeeded in taking one specimen of \tvc. flamen. It was flying 

 over small trees near the monastery of So-ko-San, about fourteen miles west 

 of Gensan, on June 15th, 1886. The type— i. e. raphaelis— \^ stated to fly in 

 August. 



Occurs in Amurland, Isle of Askold, and Corea.

 blnck scales, the fifth (or last) on the primaries bounded by a largo l)lack spot, tlio orange
