Show 906 MR. H. J. ELWES ON THE BUTTERFLIES [Nov. 15, EREBIA EDDA, Men. Midd. Reise, t. iii. f. 2 (1851). Found at Schilka by Radde. Of the same group as E. tristis, to which it is allied; but the ocelli differ in colour. E. AJANENSIS, Men. E. ligea, var. ajanensis, Men. Cat. Mus. Petr. 104. E. eumonia, Men. Schrenk's Reise, p. 34, t. iii. fig. 4. Of this species, which was taken at Hadshi, on the coast of Mantchuria, in lat. 49°, and at Nikolaiefsk, I have seen no specimens ; but, from the plate, it is evidently nearly allied to E. ligea. E. EMBLA, Thunb. Diss. Ent. ii. p. 38, t. viii. fig. 8 (1791). Does not occur in Amurland, but was found on the Sea of Ochotsk by Maack. 03NEIS(=CHIONOBAS) SCULDA (EV.), Bull. MOSC. 1851, i. p. 612. Found by Hedemann on the Upper Amur, but not included in Menetries's or Bremer's works. A species, or perhaps a variety of this, is in Dr. Staudinger's collection, collected by Hedemann. CE. JUTTA, Hb. t. 914-5. Found by Maack, according to Bremer, on the south side of the Amur, but not seen by Dr. Staudinger. CE. URDA (Ev.). Hipparchia urda, Ev. Bull. Mosc. 1847, ii. p. 69, t. ii. figs. 1-4. ChionoBas nanna, Men. Schrenk's Reise, p. 38, t. iii. fig. 5. Seems not uncommon at Blagovestchensk, Raddefskaia, and elsewhere in Amurland. CE. MONGOLICA, Oberthiir, Et. Ent. ii. p. 31, t. iv. fig. 6 (1876). Found in the mountains of Eastern Mongolia by Abbe David. Seems very nearly allied to CE. tarpeia. SATYRUS DRYAS, Scop. Ent. Carn. p. 153 (1763). S. Bipunctatus, Motsch. Et. Ent. ix. p. 29. Var. siBirica, Stdgr. Cat. p. 29. Found in the Bureija Mountains, and common on the coast-region of Amurland; also common in Japan. The Japanese form a°*rees very fairly with European examples, though generally larger"* and more strongly marked. The form found at Askold is the var. siBirica, Stdgr., and differs as a rule, in having the markings of the underside almost obsolete! The form described as S. Bipunctatus by Motschulsky I presume to be merely an aberration of S. dryas, with two spots on the hind wings. I have seen one or two specimens which have them. PARARGE ACHINE, Scop. Ent. Carn. p. 156 (1763). P. achinoides, Butl. Cist. Ent. ii. p. 283 (1877). Found at Baranofsky, Raddefskaia, and Askold, also in Japan, |
