One example in Pryer's collection, without locality label. Japan (Pryer) ; Europe. 284. LOPHOPTERYX CAMELINA, L. Bombyx camelina, Linn. Syst. Nat. x. p. 507- I took two male specimens at Gensan in June 1889, and a female at Hakodate in August of same year ; there were several specimens in Pryer's collection, some of these are no. 231 and others no. 232 of his Catalogue. Of the last he observes very like N. camelina. Although there is some variation in size and colour, there is nothing outside the usual range of aberration, and there is not a single specimen I cannot exactly match with an example of L. camelina from my European series of the species.
