Distribution
China (Hunan, Jiangxi), Japan.
Remarks
Specimens from China do not fully agree with the original description (Kumata 1998[3]), especially in fore wing markings. Their fore wing has a white stripe situated between the third and fourth fasciae which extends from the dorsal edge of the third fascia towards costa to the middle of the fourth fascia. This character was not recorded by Kumata (1998)[3] in the original description based on Japanese specimens. In addition, instead of the fourth fascia as described by Kumata, it is the apex of the fifth fascia which is edged with remarkable darker spots. However, the structures of the male (Fig. 6) and the female genitalia (Fig. 10) are in accordance with the original description, which provides us confidence to assign the specimens reared in China to this species.
