acknowledged. If capture be missed the first time, patience is needed, as it 
will iu the course of an hour or so surely return. It has a veiy large flat 
pupa, of a beautiful light green colour. I have had many broods of eggs, and 
have tried the newly-hatched larvae with every possible tree, but could never 
induce them to feed." 
I have taken E. charonda at Yokohama, Lake Biwa, and in the province 
of Kaga. The var. coreanus I found commonly in a large forest about fifteen 
miles south of Gensan, Corea, in July 1886 ; it fi'equents the tops of trees 
and is very difficult to take in good condition on account of its powerful 
flight. I received a good series of males from Chang-yang, Central China, 
and one example of the female from Moupin, Western China. These belong 
to the coreanus form. 
Euripus fanebris. (Plate xvi. fig. l, 6 .) 
Eur'qms fu7iebris , Leech, Entomologist, xxiv., Suppl. p. 27 (1891). 
Male. Velvet}' blue-black. The outer half of primaries is greyish, and ai5i)ears to be thinly clothed 
with scales ; this is intersected by the bluish-black nervules, and some longitudinal bars of the 
same colour in the interspaces ; there is a fairly broad crimson dash, sprinkled with black 
scales, from the base to the middle of cell. The outer third of secondaries has some greyish 
dashes between the nervules from the costa to third median. Under surface similar to above, 
but the gre3ish markings on outer half are stronger, the crimson dash is much wider and 
occupies nearly the whole of the basal half of the cell, a bluish bar crosses the cell, and there 
is a bluish spot in each median interspace and two in the submedian : at the base of the 
secondaries, which are more fuscous, but otherwise as above, is a circular crimson mark broken 
up into segments by the neuration. Head black ; collar white ; antenna; black, tipped with 
dark brown ; palpi and front tibiie marked with white. 
Expanse 115 millim. 
One male specimen of this remarkable species was captured at Omei-shan 
in July.
