Lycana lielJotla, Menetrios. — " D'apres un individu de 14 lignes d'envergure. 
" En dessus, il est dun brim tres fonce, prcsentant a la base nn reflet bleu ; sur Tangle anal des 
secondes ailes, un point noir surmonte d'un croissant fauve. 
"En dessous, il est d'un blanc brillant, un peu bleiiatre; les ailes supt'rieures n'ont pas de traits 
ou points a leur base, et le trait discoidal tres peu visible ; puis, derriere celui-ci una ligne 
de six traits noirs forts marques, et pros du bord externe on ne remarque que la trace de 
deux ou trois traits bruns, marques de fauve estdrieurement, et place's pres de Tangle interne. 
Les ailes iufe'rieures pre'sentent deux points noirs places plus pres de la base que du disque, 
mais on n'appergoit aucune trace de croissant discoidal: puis au-dela une range'e transversale 
de points tres noirs, disposes en CO, dont deux pres de Tangle externe, quatre autour du disque 
et trois, plus bas, pres de Tangle anal ; enfin sur le bord externe, et vers Tangle interne, sent 
deux points noirs, surmontes chacun d'une tachc fauve, limitee superieurement par un trait 
noir tres ctroit, et plus esterieurement, toujours sur le bord marginal, deux faibles traces de 
fauve." (Menetries, I. c.) 
The above description refers to a specimen taken by M. Goschkevitsch in 
Japan, and is apparently a worn female of E. argiades bereft of tails. 
Pryer says that the species occta-s in Japan from March to October. 
I have received specimens from all the localities in China visited by my 
collectors. The small var. jpolysperclion, Bergstrasser, is of common occur- 
rence, but I have not seen the var. coretas, Ochsenheimer, from any eastern 
locality. Some male specimens taken by myself in Japan have red lunules 
on upper surface of secondaries as in the females. Nagasaki specimens 
attain a wing-expansion of Ih inch. It is also common in Amuiiand and 
Corea. 
Everes argiades is very widely distributed. It occurs in North America, 
South and Central Eiurope, almost thi-oughout Asia, and has been found in 
Australia.
