NTMPHALID^. 
All the wings have the hind margin tinged with green, and with a row of orange lunulas, 
complete on the hind wings, but on the fore wings interrupted towards the anal angle. 
Undei-side orange, with the spots and stripes greenish ; hind wings with a row of blackish 
spots parallel to the hind margin, and with the inner margin greenish grej'." {Lang, I. c.) 
" Larva. Green, mixed with reddish brown and yellowish white, with two rows of fleshy elevations 
covered with bristles. Pupa. Dirty white ; thorax with a dark brown dorsal patch ; wing- 
cases dark brown. The larva feeds on Popuhis alba and P. tremula in May. It appears first 
in the autumn, and then hybernates between dead leaves." {Lang, I. c.) 
Yar. tremulsB, Esper. A form of the male in which all the white markings are absent, excepting 
those towards apex, and sometimes even these are obscured. 
Referring to the occurrence of L. ])OjJiiIi in Japan, Pryer [1. c.) says that the 
species has only been observed in the Island of Yesso, and that his collector 
obtained several specimens there in the year 1882. Tliese specimens are now 
in my possession, and I do not find that they differ in any way from European 
examples of the type-form. 
In Western China the species appears to be fairly common. I have received 
specimens from Ta-chien-lu, Wa-shan, Wa-ssu-kow, Pu-tsu-fong, and Ni-tou. 
All the males are either of the tremulm form, or intergrades between that 
form and the type. The female, of which sex I have only one Chinese 
example, agrees with European specimens of this sex, but the white band on 
secondaries is rather narrower. 
This species appears to be widely distributed in Amurland, where the var. 
ussuriensis, Staudinger, Avhich lias the white bands in the male as broad as 
those in the female from Europe, is the dominant form. Dr. Staudinger (Ilom. 
sur Lep. iii. p. 144) mentions a very small form of the male from liaddefka, 
for which he proposes the name of lilijjutatia.
