'•AntennEe: club robust, arcuate, blunt at tbe tip, no terminal crook. Palpi suberect : second 
joint laxly clothed with longish scales ; third joint slender, blunt, almost concealed in scaling 
of second joint. Fore wing : inner and outer margins subeqiial ; cell less than two thirds 
the length of costa ; vein 12 reaching costa well before the end of cell ; discoeellulars 
suberect, the lower the longer ; vein 3 shortly before end of cell, more than twice as far 
from 2 as from 4 ; vein 2 nearer base of wing than to end of cell. Hind wing usually 
evenly rounded, occasionally slightly crenulate ; vein 7 very shortly before end of cell ; 
discoeellulars and vein 5 very faint ; vein 3 immediately before end of cell ; vein 2 nearly 
equidistant from base of wing and end of cell. Hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs."

The larva, which Graeser fouud commouly in September enclosed between 
leaves of raspberry and Spirea, is of a uniformly light green with a few short 
white hairs, the second segment and first pair of legs are red-brown, and the 
other legs are light green with black claw^s ; head round and velvety black. 
The pupa is dusted with bluish white. 
This species, which was described from a Pekin specimen, occurs in 
Western China at Chia-ting-fu ; at Ichang, Chang-yang, and Kiukiang in 
Central China ; and in Japan. 
Maculata can easily be separated from H. zona by the following characters : — 
The ground-colour is blacker, the maculation more prominent, and the fringes 
are more distinctly chequered. On the secondaries there are always two 
bands of spots, the outer of which is often very well defined and angulated. 
In H. zona this second band is occasionally faintly indicated. On the under 
surface the apex of primaries and disc of secondaries are brightly marked with 
castaneous, whereas in //. zona the colour- is more olive and there is a dark 
submarginal band on secondaries which is not found in H. maculata. 
In my paper on the " Butterflies of Japan and Corea " (Proc. Zool. Soc. 
Lond. 1887), I eiToneously included '■Pyrgus' sinicus, Butler, as a synonym of 
//. maculata, and I regret to find that Staudinger (Rom. sur Lep. vi. p. 217) 
has perpetuated this error. His remarks on wiiat he considers to be the
