Show 1888.] LEPIDOPTERA OF JAPAN AND COREA. 583 9. LOPHURA SANGAICA. Lophura sangaica, Butl. Proc. Zool. Soc. 1875, p. 621. Occurred in Satsuma in May, at Nagasaki in June, Fushiki and Shimonoseki in July, and Gensan in August. Pryer in his catalogue notes it as common at Yokohama; but there were only five examples in his collection. Satsuma, Nagasaki, Shimonoseki, Fushiki (Leech); Gensan (Nat. Coll.). 10. AMPHELOPHAGA RUBIGINOSA. Amphelophaga rubiginosa, Brem. & Grey, Beitr. zur Schmett.- Faun. Nord. China's, p. 52. Deilephila rubiginosa, Walk. Cat. Lep. Het. viii. p. 173. Deilephila romanovi, Staud., Rom. M e m . sur Lep. iii. pi. ix. fig. 1. Three specimens from Yokohama. Except that the olivaceous markings on primaries and abdomen are of a rather browner tint, these Japanese representatives of the species agree exactly with Kiukiang examples. There was one example of this species in Pryer's collection labelled Oiwake. It is no. 20 of his catalogue, where he remarks " Also about Yokohama, but not so common as the preceding species" (No. 19. Clamis bilineata). Yokohama (Manley and Pryer); Oiwake (Pryer) ; N. China (Bremer); Kiukiang (Pratt); Corea (Hers). 11. PERGESA MONGOLIANA. Pergesa mongoliana, Butl. Proc. Zool. Soc. 1875, p. 622. A common species at Yokohama. Some of the specimens in Pryer's collection and one I received from Manley have a luteous submarginal band on primaries; this has its external edge much indented, but its internal edge is ill-defined. In the same specimens there is a distinct luteous oblique streak at anal angle of secondaries. I am disposed to consider P. mongoliana, Butl., a local form of P. velata, Walk. Yokohama (Pryer and Manley); Kiukiang (Pratt). 12. DEILEPHILA GALII. Sphinx galii, Fabr. Sp. Ins. ii. p. 147- 33; Hiibn. Sphing. p. 96, pi. xii. fig. 64. Deilephila galii, Steph. 111. Brit. Ent. Haust. i. p. 125, pi. xii. fig. 2. Two examples in Pryer's collection, neither are localized ; but in his catalogue Pryer says, " I took one specimen at Fujisan in June. The yellow bed-straw (Galium verum) is a common plant there." One specimen came under m y notice at Tsuruga in July. It was hovering over flowers on the side of a mountain in the neighbourhood of that town. Fujisan (Pryer). North America; Europe. |
