Using ;Icones Heterocerorum Japonicorum in Coloribus Naturalibus+ by
Esaki T., Issiki S, Inoue H., Ogata M., Okagaki H. & Kuroko H. (1958,
revised ed. 1971, 8th printing 1991) published by Hoikusha Publ. Co.
Ltd, Osaka, the species illustrated appear to be as follows (the
nomenclature may be out of date, but the names appear o.k. to me, based
on current Hong Kong species; unless indicated, assume the nominate
subspecies):-
