China, and there appears to be a succession of broods. It does not seem possible to break up the series I have from various localities into species. This series is composed of individuals selected from a large number of specimens. All the forms described by Butler and Guenee as distinct species are represented, and these are so well-linked together by intermediate modifications that there is no clear line of demarcation to be drawn between them. I am therefore obliged to consider all the specimens referable to one exceedingly variable species.
