C. hero is a common species in Central Evrrope, Scandinavia, and Livonia ; 
according to Mr. Elwes (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1881, p. 909) it is also found 
at Raddefskaia and on the Ussuri in Amniiand. 
Var. ferseis is larger than the type, and the white markings on the under 
surface are more strongly defined. It occurs in the Altai, and I found this 
form of C. hero common at Gensan, Corea, in July 1886, M. Oberthiir 
records it from the Isle of Askold (Etud. d'Ent. v. p. ]7), and Mr. Elwes (/. c.) 
says that he has received specimens fi'om Amurland.
