Show 428 MR. J. H. LEECH ON THE BUTTERFLIES [May 3, ravine close to the sea, near the port for Kurnamoto in Kiushiu. found the specimens just out in May. 134. PLESIONEURA BIFASCIATA. Plesioneura bifasciata, Brem. P. Z. S. 1881, p. 910. Eudamus bifasciatus, Brem. & Grey, Schmett. nordl. China's, p. 10. Gonoloba bifasciatus, Men. Cat. Mus. Petr., Lep. i. t. v. fig. (1855). Very common in June about fifteen miles from Gensan at the foot of the mountains. I have also received it from Ningpo ; it is recorded from Jinchuen, N.W. Corea. 135. PTERYGOSPIDEA SINICA. Pterygospidea sinica, Feld. Wien. ent. Mon. vi. p. 140 (1862). Pterygospidea moori, Mab. Bull. Soc. Ent. France, ser. 5, vi. p. clii (1876). Daimio felderi, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 4, vii. p. 140. I believe I am right in uniting the above, although the specimens in the National collection marked sinica are too old to be of any use. I found it very plentiful at Foochau aud Ningpo, and there are specimens from Nikko in the Museum. 136. DAIMIO TETHYS. Pyrgus tethys, Men. Euum. p. 126, t. x. fig. 8 (1855). Daimio tethys, Murr. Ent. Mon. Mag. xi. p. 171 (1875) ; P. 1881, p. 911. Common all over Japan and Corea ; there are several broods. 137. ISOTEINON LAMPROSPILUS. Isoteinon lamprospilus, Feld. Wien. ent. Mon. vi. p. 38 (1862). Pamphila vitrea, Murr. Ent. Mon. Mag. xi. p. 171 (1875). I found this very distinct species fairly plentiful in July at Tsuruga on the west coast of Japan. Mr. H. Pryer says it is common about Yokohama. 138. PAMPHILA MATHIAS, Fabr. Appears common in Southern and Central Japan. The male can readily be distinguished from any other Japanese species by the sexual bar on the fore wing; the arrangement of spots is also quite different to any other species. 139. PAMPHILA VARIA. P. varia, Murray, Ent. Mon. Mag. xi. p. 172 (1875). I found this species widely distributed, but not common ; I have specimens from Satsuma, Nagasaki, Tsuruga, Hakodate, and Yokohama. It can be easily recognized by the dark veins on the underside of the hind wings. |
