From South Siberia (Sajan, Irkutsk), Tibet (Hokow) and West China. — genia Fruhst.(68e) has the hindwing beneath paler, the silvery median spot across the cell is more produced distad, somewhat resembling in shape the same spot of gemmata. The base of both wings above is much darker (brownish green in the female) and the black markings are stronger. From West China. — rhea Gr.-Grsh. has the same long silver-spot as genia, but is brighter yellow above, the base of the wings being less dusted with black.
