I got specimens in Satsuma in May, Nagasaki in June, Gensan in July, and at Hakone in August. There is some variation in the size of the brownish discal spot; this is sometimes little more than a dot, and at others quite a round patch. The apical spot is also subject to modification, and in some examples assumes the form of a short stripe. In some specimens there are brownish spots and dots over the whole of the disk.
