secondaries vary in mimber from three to five, and they may be either white

Ehves states that it is common in Sikkim up to an elevation of 5000 feet 

 from April to October.

Common all over Japan and Corea ; it can be easily distinguished from 

 P. pellKcida by its longer, narrower wings, and by the spots of the hind wing, 

 which are almost in a straight line, while in P. pellucida the arrangement is 

 alternate. 



Elwes (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1888, p. 445) records it from Kashmir 

 [=mangala, Moore), Mandi, and Sikkim. All the Indian specimens that I 

 have seen agree Avith those from Japan and China. Staudinger (Rom. sur 

 Lep. vi.) says that the species occurs in Amurland.
