This species seems to be variable wherever it occurs, and although most of 
the forms have been considered distinct species some of them exhibit only 
such unimportant differences from the type that they hardly seem to merit 
even distinctive varietal names. There are two broods in all the localities 
where it occiurs, and the specimens of the first brood differ from those of the 
second brood in each locality. 
True S.telamon, as figured by Donovan*, occurs in the neighbourhood of 
Pekin, N. China, and is chiefly distinguished by the absence of black on the 
basal area of the primaries and the small amount of black on other portions 
of these wings. I met with typical examples at Gensan, Corea, in July, and 
more commonly Avith other specimens in which the black markings are 
stronger, and in some of these examples there is a more or less well-defined 
black basal patch on primaries, whilst in otliers there is a black subbasal 
streak on secondaries. 
\Miat I consider to be the typical female is also from Pekin and has been 
described by Bremer and Grey as S. fasciatus. I have some examples of 
this sex from Central China which agree almost exactly with Bremer's figure, 
but the majority of the specimens from thence agree better with Gray's 
figure of S.fortimei, which is the proper female of monteJa, Gray, a form of 
8. telamon found not uncommonly during the summer at Ichang and Kiu- 
kiang, Central China. The male of this form is larger than typical telamon 
and the black basal markings are more pronounced on all the wings. 
Fixsen says of his var. koreana that it is intermediate between Donovan's 
type and montela. Gray, and adds that the female agrees with fasciatus, 
Bremer. 
The first generation or spring brood of 8. telamon is represented in North 
and Central China by tehnona. Gray ( d ), and f/rep, Bremer & Grey ( ? ). 
Yar.Jixseni, Staudinger [= greyi, Fixsen), is the Corean representative of the 
* It should be mentiouod tliat Donovan's figure, afterwards reproduced by Gray, has the head 
and antennas of some species of Piqnlio, and certainly not those of a Stricinus.
