Var. kazamoto, Dmce. " Upperside of both wings dark bro-wn, in some lights shot with 
green, the anterior wing with a dark streak at the end of the cell. Underside pale drab, 
anterior wing with a dark streak at the end of the cell the same as above, and crossed 
beyond the middle by a band of six blackish spots curTed inwards. Posterior wing with 
one black spot close to the base and one in the middle of the cell, crossed below the middle 
by a curved band of eight black spots surrounded with pale greyish white, a siibmarginal 
row of very indistinct brown spots common to both wings. Exp. If inch. 
" Hob. Yokohama, Japan. 
'•Allied to L.fusca, Brem. and Grey, but quite distinct." (Dnue, 7. c.) 
Yar. euphemia, Staudinger. The male is usually less blue and the spots are longer, in this 
respect approaching L. arion ; the female is darker and some examples of this sex are 
altogether without markings. 
This species occurs in the moimtainoiis districts of Central Japan, where 
it is generally represented by the form kazamoto, although some specimens 
are marked Avith blue. The examples from Yesso approach nearer to the 
typical form of L. euj^hemus. At Gensan, in the Corea, the var. evphemia, 
Staudinger, occurs, together with specimens which are not separable from 
vSwiss examples ; this form is also recorded by Dr. Fixsen from the north 
of Pekin. Some examples from the north of Pekin and one male specimen 
from Sidemi are stated by Dr. Staudinger to be nearly black and would seem 
therefore to be referable to the var. kazamoto ; and I have two abeiTant 
specimens of L. cvphemus from the Ural which are not separable from that 
form. 
Distribution. Central Europe, Ural, Amuland, Japan, Corea, and X.China.
