This species is common in Yesso and the mountainous parts of Central 
Japan. The majority of the specimens are identical with strigosa, Butler, and 
exhibit no specific differences from Amurland examples of A. hurejana. I 
have also received specimens from Chang-yang in Central China and Huang- 
mu-chang, Western China; some of these (Plate XXVI. figs. 13 & 14) are 
much larger and paler than typical A. hurejana. A figure of Butler's type 
of strigosa is given on Plate XXVI. fig. 11. Figure 10 on the same Plate 
represents a female of the ordinary Japanese form. 1 have also taken speci- 
mens at Gensan, Corea, in Jidy. 
A. hurejana is a very variable species ; the white fascia on under siuface of 
secondaries is sometimes traversed by a black line, as in the type of strigosa, 
Butler. In a few specimens this line is diffuse and occupies a large portion 
of the fascia. The proportion of the brown markings is subject to modifi- 
cation in both sexes. The females are always browner on the upper siu'face 
than the males. Specimens taken in Jiine near Hakodate have less markiu<» 
than those from Amurland. 
In Amurland the species occius from the middle of May to the middle of 
July, and Dr. Staudiuger, who has hitherto considered it to be peculiar to that
