The following list of moths includes merely the most important 

 species ; from personal observation I believe that more than three 

 hundred species can be identified as coming from Hongkong : — 



Chcerocampa suffusa, Walker. 



* Chcerocampa pallicosta, Walker. 



* Acherontia medusa, Butler. 

 Diludia discistriga, Walker. 

 *Diludia increta, Walker. 

 Northia ten iris, Butler. 



* PMssama vacillans, Walker. 

 Spilarctia subcarnea, Walker. 



*La>lia sinensis, Walker. 

 Pantana ampla, Walker. 

 *Acontia bimacula, Walker. 



(Acontia maculosa '.') 

 *Boarmia repulsaria, Walker. 



* OpJiiusa aretotcenia. 



* Tropica artemis, Butler. 



In conclusion, it is necessary to state that the list of butterflies 

 is by no means exhaustive. There are some five or six doubtful 

 species which the writer has thought best not to include; and, 

 besides these, there are one or two others that may, very probably, 

 turn out to be species novae.
