ARMANDIA; SERICINUS. By Dr. K. von Rosen. 
lobe which is indicated at most in japonica. The colouring of this bag is brown in puzilei, black in japonica, 
the first abdominal segment of the $ in japonica above more hairy than in puziloi. By recognizing the long- 
known continental chinensis Leech as a race of japonica (what Seitz hinted at already in Vol. I) and by 
discovering Japanese forms of puziloi a further proof was produced for the difference of the two species, so 
that Beyk’s contrary assertion cannot be correct. The fact that the forms of different species from the same 
habitats approach one another in the colouring is proved by innumerable examples in the whole animal kingdom. 
puziloi. L. puziloi Ersch. Bryk denominated out of 12 specimens from Wladiwostok no less than 6 aberrations 
in the marking of the hindwing in puziloi puziloi Erscli. ampliusmaculata Bryk is based upon a specimen in 
which there is beside the internerval spot between the 1st and 2nd cubitus another one between the 3rd median 
and 1st cubitus; in anarchista (!) Bryk, an aberration hardly worth mentioning, the internerval spots border 
on the red anal spots; coccinella Bryk shows very much developed internerval spots; harakiri Bryk is the female 
form with a widened dark marginal band as in japonica ; in mandarina Bryk we see the exterior red anal 
eyespot towards the margin bordered by a dark streak without the usual blue centre; in sandigi Bryk the band 
ochrea. extending from the costal margin to the 3rd median along the cell-end is broken up into two spots; ochiea 
coreana. Shaw ($) exhibits a deep ochreous, almost brownish colouring. - eoreana Mats., from Kaishu, Heizan (Korea), 
inexpecta. could no more be compared. The Japanese race described first is iraexpecta Shelj., from Sendai, on the north¬ 
eastern coast of Hondo. The posterior half of the 4th black band of the forewing is just as broad in the $ as in 
the $ (in puziloi puziloi -$ widened as a rule), the red anal spots of the hindwing more broadly margined, the 
gessoensis. lower median lobe of the ovipository bag broader and longer (the latter according to Rothschild). yessoensis 
Bothsch. (2 d), from Yesso (Hokodate), having been described 5 years later, is said to have darker and broader 
bands of the forewings and a broader margin of the hindwing. As the fauna of Yesso differs in many ways 
from that of Hondo, this name may perhaps remain. 
japonica. L. japonica Pryer. japonica japonica Pryer was described from Central Hondo, another race with 
broader black bands of the fore wing is mentioned by Rothschild from Formosa ( formosana Bothsch.). Of the 
Eastern Chinese race chinensis Leech which was already described in the 1st volume, we figure here a couple 
(2 d). x4 scantily marked deviation with an almost entirely decomposed costal spot of the hindwing (3 black 
rcbcU. transverse bands) was called rebeli Bryk. I am unable to ascertain whether the forms established by Matsit- 
mura (Thous. Ins. Add. 3, 1919): jezoensis, nxkamurae, takamukana, tohae, and yazawae, all of which except 
the first are described from Hondo, belong all to japonica. 
3. Genus: Antiaiidija Blch. 
spinosa. A. lidderdalii spinosa Stich. All the light bands are more intensely yellowish (though not so yellow as in 
thaidina Blch.). On the forewing the 5th light transverse band is more convex (in rare cases also in the typical 
form), the two next bands from the costal margin to the 1st median branch more curved and nearer together, 
on the hindwing in front in the marginal portion the light dusting is increased, the yellow marginal spots being 
reduced. Described from a of the Coll. Frithstorfer from Szechwan. 
4. Genus: Serieimis Ww. 
The first generation of all the races differs from the summer-generation in being mostly much smaller 
(though also some specimens of the second generation may be very small), besides in the shorter tails and the 
red spots on the forewing (only in the summer generation of montela Gray frequently indicated). On the hindwing 
of the $ the red spot between the 1st and 2nd median branches is large as a rule, in the 9 the red spots form 
more or less a continuous red band. Male specimens of the first generation, which only show red spots in the 
cubital and anal regions of the hindwing, are very similar to the summer generation. It has not yet been 
ascertained how far the species proceeds to the west of Peking, a from the Prov. of Shansi (1st generation) 
probably belongs to telmonx Gray, although the central cellular spot of the forewing is much smaller than in 
Gray's figure as well as in Vol. I, pi. 9 c. The form from Southern Shantung, in both generations, is more 
similar to amurensis Stgr. (resp. telemachus Stgr.) than to the first described race telamon Gray from Peking. If 
absurdus. constant differences from amurensis should be really ascertained, the name absurdus Bryk (based upon 1 q 
of the summer generation) would have to be applied to it. It is a curious fact that between Shantung and the 
Amur-Ussuri-District the darkest race occurs: koreana Fixs. from Korea. The summer form from Charbin, 
mand- for which the name mandschurica 0. Bang-11. i. 1. was proposed differs in the male from koreana in the exterior 
schurica. halves of the wings being very much darkened, though the black basal irroration of the forewing and the dark 
band through the centre of the cell on the hindwing are absent. 1 from Badogu in Northern Manchuria hardly 
shows any more traces of the light ground-colour on the forewing. The 1st generation from Shikuanshan in 
Southern Manchuria, of which a large number are before me, shows in nearly all the <$<§, in the cell of the 
forewing, proximad to the discocellular spot a dark patch interruptedly extending obliquely hindward and
