Show 1887.] OF JAPAN AND COREA. 423 dark red, tipped with black ; on each side of the body, from the fifth segment onwards, is an irregular network of faint pale markings. Pupa. Light brown, with darker markings, having two spines on the under surface of each abdominal segment; the thoracic segments have each two bright gold spots on the under surface; the head terminates in two short horny projections. Remains ten days to a fortnight in pupa. Food-plant: Viola sp. 99. ARGYNNIS PERRYI? ? Brenthis perryi, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, ix. p. 16 (18S2). This insect, which is fairly common at Gensan in July, seems close to A. oscarus, Eversm., but is larger, paler, aud differs on the underside. It is not a constant species. 100. ARGYNNIS DAPHNE, Schiff. A. rabdia, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 4, xix. p. 93. Var. fumida, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, ix. p. 16. Not rare in Central Japan and Yesso, and very common at Gensan, where the specimens are remarkably fine. 101. ARGYNNIS INO, Esp. Common at Gensan in June and July. The specimens are far larger than European examples. 102. ARGYNNIS AGLAIA, Linn. A. fortuna, Janson, Cist. Ent. ii. p. 154 (1877). Occurs plentifully at Gensan in June. I took the same species in N.W. Japan in July ; they compare well with Amur specimens. 103. ARGYNNIS ADIPPE, Linn. Var. chlorodippe, H.-S. Var. cleodoxa, Ochs. Var. cleodippe, Staud. A. pallescens, Butl. Cist. Ent. i. p. 164 (1873). A. vorax, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1871, p. 403. A. locuples, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vii. p. 134. This very variable species is extremely common all over Japan and Corea, as well as several other forms quite as distinct as many named ones, which have so far escaped being separated. I have a fine series from Amurland, which compare well with the Japanese and Corean specimens, of which I took about 250, among which were some wonderful aberrations and varieties. 104. ARGYNNIS NERIPPE. A. nerippe, Feld. Wien. ent. Mon. vi. p. 24 (1862). A. eoreana, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, ix. p. 15 (1882). A very distinct species, common all over Japan aud Corea. It differs markedly from adippe, the only species with which it could |
