of the specimens from Japan agree well with Mabille's description of var. 
quinqiieimncta. 
The only Chinese examples that I have received are fi-om Omei-shan and 
Ichang ; these are slightly darker than either Japanese or Indian specimens 
and the spots are somewhat larger. 
Tooim, Moore, occurs in Sikkim up to 7000 feet from April to November. 
It is also found in the Khasia Hills and Cachar. I am quite unable to 
separate Japanese or Chinese pellucida from Sikkim toona, and believe the 
former to be specifically identical with the latter. 
Dorries and Graeser met with P. pellucida in various places in Amurland. 
Distribution. Western and Central China, Japan, Corea, Amurland, and 
tlie Himalayas.

" tS • Bronzy olive-brown, witL sordiJ white fringes to the wings; primaries with two small spots 
placed oblicjuely towards the end of the cell ; five dots between the subcostal branches (the 
first two very small and wide apart) and an oblique series of five discal spots (the upper four 
in a decreasing scries, pointing towards the apex, the first small and linear, just above the 
middle of the submedian vein), hyaline white; a slender oblique brand connecting the first 
and second spots ; secondaries with four small spots, the first and last punctiform, in a zigzag 
series not far from the ape.x ; body normal, palpi sordid white ; primaries below with the 
costal third, excepting at apex, densely covered with sordid ochraceous scales ; hyaline spots 
as above, an additional white spot between the first and second of the oblique discal series ; 
secoisdaries sordid ochraceous, with a broad greyish-brown pyramidal area on the intern o- 
median interspace ; a silvery-white spot in the cell, and four towards apex, the second of 
which is reniform ; body below sordid greyish. 
" Expanse of wings 1 inch 8 lines.'" {Butla; /. c.) 
This species is very closely allied to P. pellucida, but it diff'ers on tlie 
upper surface in having only two longitudinal spots on the secondaries ; it 
has a conspicuous white spot towards base of secondaries on under surface, as 
in Parnara sinensis, and all the spots on the uuder surface of tliese wings 
are white and not subhyaline as in P. pellucida. 
Apjiears to be an exceedingly rare insect. The type was taken " on the 
Kosliiukaido in Shimodzuke." The only other specimens that, I have any 
knowledge of are two in the late Henry Fryer's collection from Ikao, Central 
Japan, and one male taken by myself at Gensan, Corea, in June.
