" Uudcrside. Fore -n-ing paler than above: onlj- the costal streak from base present, which 
reaches to the subcostal dashea corresponding to those existing on the upper surface ; discoidal 
nervule bordered, often broadly, with ochreous, along the basal half of its course ; apical 
portion of hind margin ochreous. Hind wing brown, thickly dusted with ochreous except 
at anal angle, where is a large brown patch, extending in a narrow streak to the base. 
Spots as above, but with an additional basal spot above the cell. The transverse band is 
bounded outwardly by a more or less distinct zizgag brown line.

" This is the species referred to in my former paper as P. dara (?), KoU. Further investigation 
has convinced me that it is distinct; nor can I find it described by any other author. It 
seems to be a common species near Yokohama." (Murray, I. c.) 
This species appears to be common throughout the regiou dealt with in 
the present work. 
Confucius of Felder is identical with var. /lava, and has nothing to do witli 
augias. There are two forms in China which may possibly be seasonal ; one 
of these is of the confucius=flava form (Plate XL. fig. 13, $ ), and the other 
is characterized by having more yellow on upper surface and the absence of 
greenish suffusion on under surface of secondaries (Plate XL. fig. 14, 6 ). 
According to Elwes (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1888, p. 451) P. dara is 
common in Sikkim up to 5000 feet from April to December. He adds : — 
" After comparing a long series of this species, namely, twelve from the 
North-west Hirrialayas (nia>sa, Moore); eight from Sikkim, one named m(Bsa 
by Moore ; four from Khasias taken by myself, three fi-om Japan, and three from 
China, I believe they are all the same species ; and I see that in Moore's 
paper on Hocking's Kangra collection he has identified mcesa with dara." 
Staudinger states that Dorries brought specimens from Amurland which do 
not differ from Japanese examples. 
I have not seen the type of Pampliila japonica, Mabille*, but from the 
* Pamphila japonica, Mabille, Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xxvii. p. Ixxiii (1883). 
" Praecedenti similis [P. hetcerus, Mab.] ; sed magis niger. Costa macdam flavam longiorem habet, 
et strigam similem in basi ; vitta nigra vix tangit margiuis tseniam nigram et vitta flava a 
costa et apice continua est, ut in P. siiiiia, Feld. A quo recedit pagina inferiore posticarum 
alarum, quse lutea est, cum margine abdominali luteo, vix ad angulum infuscato. 
" Cette espece resemble beaucoup au P. sunias, Feld., et au precedent [P. Jieieerus']. La bande noire 
des ailes superieurcs n'est pas bifurquee et ne louche pas la bordure au-dessous de I'apex. 
La cote a un trait jaune a la base et une tache tres allonge'e. La bandelette fauve du disque 
est continue, elle commence a la cote, fait un coude et revient vers lo bord interne. La bande 
jaune des ailes inferieures se I'ejoint au point jaune du bord antdrieur, et le dessous des 
memes ailes est tout entier jaune ; une serie de points noirs indique la bande du dessus, 
reproduite un pen en clair. Les palpcs sont d'un jaune soufre, avec le dernier article aciculaire, 
long et noiratre. Japon." {Mahille, I. c.)
