at its extremity; in divisaria dlvisaria often open. Koserapo, November 

 1911, 1 $ (type); Yamo no Taiko, October 1911, 1 ?. Also both sexes 

 in coli. Wileman. 



27. Ailtilycauges pinguis 8winh. — 1 (^, 3 $, Anping, Jnly — Sep- 

 tember. 8winhoe's type came froni Formosa, without more exact loca- 

 lity, but the species is distributed throughont Eastern C*hina from 

 Tientsin to Tonkin. 



*28. Acidalia nioorei orientalis Front, nov. snbsp. — Intermediate 

 in coionr between moorei moorei Leech and rufigrisea Front, on an 

 average rather nearer to the latter. Differs from both in having blaek 

 dorsal spots on the abdomen (as in extimaria Walk, and some fornis 

 of walkeri Bntl.) and in having the discal dot of the hindwing mivch 

 more mixed with rust-broAvn, sometimes indeed with only a few 

 scattered black scales remaining. Snisharyo, Febrnary 1912, 41 j'. 

 Also a (^ from Karapin (Japan), August 1911. It is remarkabie that 

 among so long a series there should be no v; she must be very sluggish, 

 or of different habits to the .j". 



29. Af'idalia kagiata Bastelberger. — A long and variable series, 

 and comprising three distinct forms. It is not inipossible that they 

 may represent separate species, but as they agree in structure and in 

 allessential markings I do not think this very probable. If Bastelberger 

 is correct in stating that the dark median shade of the forewing rnns 

 to the apex (which seems to me very nn(ikely), I must have misidenti- 

 fied Sauter's species, but the rest of the description fits well to the 

 form which I shall for the present regard as name-typical, though it 

 is probably not quite so sharply marked as Bastelberger's type. It 

 has about the size, coloration and general a])pearance (excepting the 

 shape) of .4. nigro punctata Hufn., the black vein-dashes which accom- 

 pany the j^ostmedian line present on the forewing only, and even here 

 commonly small and slight. Snisharyo, 1 <^, 1 9, December 1911 and 

 Febriiary 1912; also 1 ,^ from Karapin (Japan), August 1911. — /. emma 

 Front is smaller (normally 22 — 24 mm), both the groimd-colour and 

 the markings more tinged with rufous or flesh-colour, the oblique median 

 shade and the postmedian line less strongly developed, but the latter 

 accom])anied on both wings by conspicuous black dashes on the veins. 

 Kosempo, 2 ,S, October 1911, Aiikang, 3 ?, September— October 1909; 

 2 o from Snisharyo must also be referred here though rather larger 

 (26—27 mm), slightly more grey-dnsted and with stronger median 

 shade, thus somewhat intermediate towanis the normal Snisharyo 

 forui. I described emma (Seitz Macrolep. IV, p. 7;")) from Chungking 

 ßntomol. Mitteilungen III. 16
