Female. Primaries powdered with bronzy-green scales and with a pale, broad, siibmarginal band : 

 secondaries also sprinkled with bronzy-green scales ; submarginal lunules reddish, except the 

 first two, which are bluish or greenish.

 70-80 m." {Bremer, I. c.) 



This form is best distinguished from the type by its smaller size. Japanese 

 specimens range from 100-115 millim. in expanse. 



In my paper on the Butterflies of Japan and Corea (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 

 1887) I considered Manor and maacki to be forms of one species ; but now that 

 I have examined a very large number of the former from China and Japan and 

 an extensive series of the latter from Japan, Amurland, and Corea, I find that 

 the insects are separable on well-defined and constant characters. I had not 

 previously recognized y«pow?c«, Butler, as the spring form of Manor and had 

 accepted tutanus, Fenton, as a form of dehaani. There is, however, now no 

 doubt in my mind that the two insects last named respectively represent 

 maacki and Manor in Japan. 



The majority of the specimens of this species occurring in Japan during 

 the summer are referable to var. tutanus, but I have male examples from Yesso 

 which agree exactly with the male of maacki from Amurland figured by 

 Menetries. Although not exactly identical, the Japanese spring specimens do 

 not exhibit any marked difi"erences from var. raddei, a small spring form of 

 maacki occurring in Amurland. 



I amx not certain whether typical P. maacki occurs in any other part of 

 Japan than Yesso ; but it is quite probable that it may be found in the moun- 

 tains of the main island. Fryer's remarks are so brief that nothing can be 

 gathered from them, and he does not give the locality of the specimen he 

 figured, which is certainly var. tutanus. 



Fixsen (Rom. sur Lep. iii. p. 254) records both maacki and raddei from Corea.
