Anemone, Feldor. — " Alis sulphiireo-flavis, aiiticis supra cxtimo margincque postico iiitrorsuiu 



parum sinuato fuscis, posticis utrinquc jjunctis marginalil)us nigris a pud venarum extima,

 " In regionibus montosis circa Niiig-po. Minor quam T. Jiecahe, Linn., cui acccdit. Fa(;ile 



distinguitur formationc limbi fusci alarum auticarum et absentia marginis fusci in alis 



posticis." (Fehh'r, I. c.) 



Mandarina, Do I'Orza. — " Al;c flava> : anticac subtruncata\ apice vix nigro strigatac ; subtus 

 obsolete fusco occllatip. 



" Cette Tcrias est de la taille do I'hecahe : scs quatre ailes sont d'un jaune citron sans taciies ; 

 senlenient les suporieures, dont rextromite est iin peu ti'onquee, offrent ordinaircment au 

 somiuet quelqucs petits traits, tres peu prononces, d'un gris noiratre ; le dessous des (juatro 

 ailes est egaleracnt d'un jaune citron, avec une lunule brunatre \m peu obsolete, ocellee de 

 jaune. On voit en outre, cntro la base et la lunule centrale de chaque aile, quelqnes points 

 noiratrcs obsolctes et pupilles de jaune pour la plupart. 



" La feraello, dont nous n'avons vu (]u'un soul exeniplaire, est presque d'un jaune soufre. Pour le 

 rests, elle ofFre les memes caracteres que le male. 



'• Nous ne savons pas de quelle partie du Japon provienneut les individus (jui ont figure a I'Expo- 

 sition.'' ((/t VOrza, I. c.) 



Var. niarieSll, Butler. " a. Male only differs from T. Jiecahe in its brilliant lemon-yellow instead 



of dark gamboge-yellow colouring. In this respect it sliows no variation. The female is of 



a sulphur-yellow colour, and is extremely rare. 

 " Rather larger than the type, the border of the secondaries of about half the width, and 



emitting short black spurs upon the veins. 

 " c. The border of the primaries slightly narrower, especially near the external angle, the outer 



border of the secondaries inconstant, the under surface with the ordinary markings feebly 



indicated. 



" Like the type form («), excepting that the black border of the primaries is of little more than 



half the width at external angle ; size very variable. 

 " e. Similar to the preceding, but with narrower border to the secondaries. 



"/. Similar to e, excepting that the border of the primaries is distinctly narrower towards the 



external angle, and the border towards the costa not angulaTed. 

 " The form which follows this appears to be a hybrid between T. mariesn and T. anemone, and 



therefore may be provisionally named 



Var. hybrida, Butler. " The outer border of the primaries rather wider throughout than in 

 T. anemone, the inner margin exhibiting from eight to nine fairly regular sinuations, of which 

 the two on the median interspaces are broader but scarcely less prominent than the others, 

 the costal margin more or less bordered by a narrow black band ; secondaries with the outer 

 border varying from a narrow band to a series of dots ; size variable." {Butler, 1. c.) 



Var. conaexiva, Butler,. " The outer border almost reduced to a sinuated line towards external 

 angle, but the apical portion with an inward angulation, as in the darkest forms T. man- 

 darina ; the length of the apical patch variable ; in one out of our three examples it is as 

 short as in T. mandarina ; one of the specimens with the short apical jjatch has the oblique 

 dash characteristic of T, mandarina on the under surface of the primaries ; size variable. 



" I have little doubt that this is a hybrid between T. anemone and T. mandarina.'' {Butler, I. c.)
