DEALT "WITH IX THE PRESENT WORK. ll 
Of the six hundred and fifty species of Ivliopalocera enumerated in the 
preceding Tables no less than two hundred and seventy-one are, according to 
our present knowledge, peculiar to China, and of these forty-eight are 
described for the first time in tlie present work. Fifteen of the species 
occurring in the Islands of Japan do not appear to be found elsewhere ; and 
two of these, i. e. Lijcccna ihuriensis and Zejihi/nis si(/nafrt, are confined to 
Yesso, whilst a third, Papilio mikado, is only found in Kiushiu. Three 
species found in the Corea have not been detected in any other country, and 
there are three other species which seem only to occur in the Corea and 
Japan. Thirtj'-four species are found in Japan and China, but not in the 
Corea ; eleven in Japan and Corea, but not in China ; and eleven in Corea, 
but not in Japan. 
One hundred and seventy-four species are common to China and the 
Himalayas. 
Of species occurring in Europe and Amurland, eleven are found in China 
only, four in Japan only, and three in Corea only ; six are found in China 
and Japan, eight in Japan and Corea, and six in China and Corea ; while 
twenty-six are common to China, Japan, and Corea. 
Of species occuning in Europe, but not recorded from Amurland, only six 
are found in China, and one in China and Japan. 
Dr. Staudinger (Rom. siir Lep. vi.) gives a list of Rhopalocera found in 
Amurland, and states that twenty-eight of the two hundred and six mentioned 
are peculiar to that region. This, however, is not really the case, as of the 
species he refers to as occurring only in Amurland the following are most 
certainly found in other countries : — 
Letlie epimenides, var. epaminondas (considered by StauiUiiger to be a 
good species, has been recorded by Fixsen from Corea). 
Melanargia halimcde (China and Corea). 
Apatura nycteis (Corea). 
Limenitis homcucri (AV. China, var. lenata). 
Neptis thishe (C. and W. China).
