the same colour bordered inwardly with black, interrupted by the nervules : primaries with 
an additional small white spot in the band, between the first and second median veinlets ; the 
markings below the cell black, dusted in some specimens with reddish-chocolate. Expanse of 
wings 1 inch 8 lines.

This form of A. levana does not appear to differ in any material respect from 
the European prorsa. I have not been able to examine the original type, but 
Mr. Janson has kindly sent for my inspection specimens taken by Mr. Fenton 
at the same time and place as the type of ohscura. In some specimens of 
both sexes the apical spots of primaries are distinctly yellow, and in some 
examples there is a red submarginal line on secondaries. 
It occurs in Yesso, and commonly at Gensan, Corea, in July and August. 
The tyj)ical form of A. levana occurs at Hakodate, in the Island of Yesso, 
during May and June, as also does var. porima (Plate XXVI. fig. 12). The 
var. prorsa is found in Yesso and Gensan, Corea, in July and August. So far 
as has been ascertained at present, A. levana does not occur on the main or 
southern Island of Japan. As will be seen by reference to the figures of this 
species on Plate XXVI., none of the specimens show any appreciable differ- 
ence from European representatives of the respective forms. 
The more produced angle of secondaries and the white quadrate spot on the 
costal area of the under surface of these wings very readily distinguish this 
species in all its forms from A. hurejana. 
The insect figured by Pryer (Rhop. Nihon. pi. v, fig. 12) as Vanessa levana 
is referable to A. fallax, Janson. 
A. levana occurs throughout the greater part of Southern and Central 
Europe, its range extending to Armenia, Southern Siberia, Amurland, Corea, 
and Japan.
