chien-lu. The specimens are very large, but do not otherwise differ from 
European examples. Bremer records it from Pekiu, and Elwes (P. Z. S. 1881) 
states that he has specimens from China, locality uncertain but probably from 
Shanghai. 
Alpheraky (Rom. sur Lep. v. p. 98) refers to typical dapUdice from North- 
west China, and var. bellidice from Amdo. 
In the Corea, this species flies over cornfields in the neighbourhood of the 
Japanese settlement at Gensan ; the specimens are identical in every respect 
with those occun-ing in Europe. Fixsen (Rom. sur L^p. iii. p. 265) also 
records it from Corea. De I'Orza is the only author Avho mentions 
S. daplidice from Japan, but although the record is so far unconfirmed I do 
not see any reason why this wide-ranging species should not occur in that 
country. 
I met with the species commonly in Kashmir ; the female examples from 
that country are very strongly marked with black and the ground-colour is 
tinged with yellow. 
Standinger (Rom. sur Lep. vi. p. 142), is of opinion that A. helemida, var. 
orientalis, Bremer, taken by Radde in Amurland, is only an aberrant specimen 
of »S'. daplidice. 
Distribution. Europe, Canary Isles, Madeira, North Africa, and the 
temperate parts of Asia. 
S. chloridice, Hiibner, an allied species, is recorded from S.W. Thibet and 
Ladak, and I have received specimens of it from M. Grum-Grshimailo which 
were taken at Chuan-che (1N.E. Thibet). He also took S. hutleri, Moore, in 
the Nian-Chan mountains, and Alpheraky records the latter species from the 
plateau of Amdo.
