Adopsea sylvatica. (Plate XL. figs. 5 (^ , 8, var. 2 .) 
Pamphila sylvatica, Bremer, Bull. Acad. Pttr. iii. p. 474 (1861); Lep. Ost-Sib. p. 34.

" Alfe supra ochracese late fusco-marginataj, ncrvis fuscis ; antica; macula media fusea. 
"Alfe subtus ochraceoe nervis fuscis, ad basim fusoescentes ; anticae macula obaoleta apud 
augulum interiorcm fusccscenti. 26 m." (Bremer, 1. c.) 
I met with this species at Gensan, Corea, in June, and at Hakodate, Japan, 
in Angust. Staudinger (Rom. sur Lep. vi. p. 210) states that Japanese 
examples do not differ from those from Corea. 
The female only differs from the male in being larger. 
The form of A. si/hatica occurring in Western China is so uniformly 
different that I describe it as 
Var. OCCidentalis, var. nov. (Plate XL. fig. 8 5 .) Male agrees in coloration with typical 
A. sylvatica, but the wings are more suffused with darker scales. 
Female. Ground-colour almost black, the pale fulvous markings being much reduced in size, and 
the central series of primaries is much straighter towards inner margin ; tlie under surface is 
more suffused, especially the secondaries, which have indications of a central series of pale 
spots. 
This form occurs at Ta-chien-lu and Chia-kou-ho. 
Adopaea tenebrosa, sp. nov. (Plate XL. figs. G d , 9 2 .) 
Male, upper surface brownish black, with a purplish reflection in certain lights. Primaries are 
streaked obliquely on the costa with pale fulvous ; there are three linear fulvous spots and 
one round one, forming an outwardly oblique series from the costa, and five larger pale 
fulvous spots and dashes, forming an inwardly oblique series to inner margin ; two contiguous 
pale fulvous bars at end of discoidal cell. Secondaries clothed with olivaceous hairs on basal 
area ; central area traversed by a series of pale fulvous elongated spots. Under surface deep 
fulvous ; neuration of all the wings strongly marked with black ; there is a black cloud 
towards outer angle of primaries, and the basal area is also suffused with black ; the dis- 
coidal cell is closed by a black bar, and there is a black oblique streak above it running in the 
direction of the apex of the wing : secondaries slightly suffused with greenish-grey scales, 
especially along the abdominal fold ; in some specimens there are indications of the pale 
fulvous central spots of upper surface. 
Female. Similar to the male, but rather darker on the under surface. 
I was disposed to consider this species to be a form of A. sylvatica, but it 
can readily be separated by the purplish reflection of the ground-colour, by 
the neuration on under surface being more broadly black, and by the black 
oblique streak from upper angle of the discoidal cell ; the fulvous markings 
are also much paler.
