76 W. J. HOLLAND. 



transverse posterior line very narrow, black, distinct, broadest on costa ; linibal 

 area traversed by a very faint gray submarjiinal line clouded on both sides by 

 gray, slightly darker tiian the ground color of the wing. Posterior wings pale 

 yellow, obscured by gray hairs at base and on inner margin. Median baud 

 broad, black, thickened and produced at end of cell, submarginal band broad, 

 black, deeply sinuate internally opposite cell and just before the anal angle, the 

 portion at the anal angle in some specimens appearing as a detached spot of black, 

 bifid on inner side. At the external angle on the margin is a yellow spot shading 

 into the fringes, which are broad, pale yellow, clouded with gray at the tips of 

 the nervules. 



Underside. — Thorax, legs and abdomen whitish. Anterior wings of the same 

 color as the body, clouded with gray on basal area, traversed by broad, black, 

 median and submarginal bands, the former produced on vein 6, and the latter 

 deeply sinuate opposite this projection. Margins gray, with a very narrow mar- 

 ginal line. Posterior wings of .same color as underside of the abdomen shading 

 into light yellow near the inner margin and anal angle. Markings as on the 

 upper surface. Expanse of wings 60 mm. 



Oiwake. Type in coll. Holland. 



I name this species in honor of Mrs. Mabel Loomis Todd, the ac- 

 complished wife of Prof. Todd, whose presence did much to enliven 

 the stay at the old castle of Shirakawa. 



Genus SYPNA Gueu. 



9. Sypua Watanabii n. sp. 



UprERSiDE. — Prevailingly wood brown. Anterior wings lightest on middle 

 area. Between the basal area, which is marked by a number of minute lines of 

 darker color and the middle area, which is likewise thus ornamented, is a some- 

 what broad, sharply defined transverse anterior band of maroon margined with 

 deep black and acutely toothed externally near the origin of the first submedian 

 nervule. The transverse posterior line is very narrow, black, irregularly undate 

 and toothed and margined externally by a broad shade of deep brown ; a dash 

 of black extends from the t. p. line along the first submedian nervule to the outer 

 margin as a reappearance and prolongation of the tooth-like projection on the 

 t. a. line. There is a subocellate spot of brown at the apex, preceded on the 

 costa by a subquadrate spot of the same color. Posterior wings uniformly dark 

 grayish brown, slightly lighter on the basal area. 



Underside. — Uniformly wood gray, darkest on limbal area; a dark shade at 

 end of cell and a faint median line on both wings. Marginal line narrow and 

 very regularly and beautifully crenulate. Expanse of wings 43 mm. 



Hub. — Oiwake. Type in coll. Holland. 



This species is represented in my collection by several specimens 

 taken at sugar in August, at Oiwake, upon the flanks of the great 

 volcano Asama-yama. I have seen also sev^eral specimens in Mr. 

 Fryer's collection designated neither by number nor name. I take 

 pleasure in naming this little creature in honor of Mr. H. Watanabe, 

 President of the Imperial University at Tokio, to whom I am in- 

 debted for distinguished courtesies.
