in the ralivarotic llegiou or exhibiting Pal;uarctic affinities, less 11 with Oriental affinities, arc 71 
in number, thus showing a preponderance of 5 PalaDarctic to 1 Oriental. 
The relative proportion of Palirarctic and Oriental species occurring in the area dealt with liere 
may be tabulated as follows : — 
I'aUuarctic. Orieutal. 
China, North 5 1 
C'oi'ea 5 
Japan Islands 3 
China, Tang-tze watershed 2 
As has been stated, there are 3 Oriental to every 2 Pala3arctic species in the Island ol' Kiushiu, 
without deducting from the latter 5 species which exhibit Oriental affinities. It would seem, 
therefore, that this portion of Japan, and probably the Island of Shikoku, together with the 
Yang-tze watershed, belong strictly to the Indo-Chinese section of the Oriental Region, and the 
remainder of the area to the Pali^arctic Region — thus rendering the ilanchurian JSubregion 
unnecessary so far as the Rhopalocera are concerned.
