" Expands from 1-30 to 1--15 inch. All the wings are uniform dark brown. The fore wings have 
alight yellow or yellowish-white spot on the costa, and below it another less distinct ; there 
are three indistinct light spots near the apex. The hind wings are uniformly dark brown : 
the fringes are whitish, that of the fore wings indistinctly spotted with brown. Underside : 
fore wings dark brown, with a marginal row of small yeUow crescentic spots, and one or two 
other yellow spots near the apes. Hind wings yellow, with a submarginal row of seven 
large oval white spots bordered with black ; these spots form a continuous band ; between 
these and the base are five more similar spots, but detached ; there are three central and 
two basal spots. The sexes are similar in coloration and pattern, except that the female 
sometimes has an extra yellow spot on the costa of the fore wings above. 
" Larva. — Light green, with a darker dorsal line ; lateral lines yellowish white. Feeds on 
grasses in ilay and June." (Lamj, I. c.) 
I found this species common in Gensan in June ; the specimens agree 
very Avell Avith those from Europe. Herz also found it commonly in Corea ; 
it is plentiful in Amui-land and Staudinger records it from N. China. 
Distribution. Central Eui-ope, Liyonia, N. Italy, Central and South Russia, 
Armenia, Siberia, Amurland, Corea, N. China.

Tar. ornatus, Bremer. " Alx supra nigro-fuscce, ciliis ochraceo-griseis. 
" Ahe anticfe subtus nigrse margine anterioro, apice margineque posteriore ochraceis ; posticse 
ochraces striga recta argentea a basi ad marginem posteriorem ducta ; margine interiore 
SiBpe argenteo-micanti. 27-31 m."' {Bremer, I. c.) 
This species is common in Japan, Corea, Amurland, and N. China. I have 
specimens of both forms from Chang-yang, Central China, where they were 
taken in July and August. Fixsen records both forms and also inter- 
mediates from the Corea. Staudinger states that ornatus is the only form 
which has so far been met with in Amurland, and adds that he has a 
specimen of the unicolor form from Japan. Elwes also records intermediates 
from Japan.
