A NEW SPECIES OF NOD ARIA FROM JAPAN 

 AND COEEA. 



NODARIA LEECHI, Sp. n. 



Antennae of male knotted and contorted about the middle. Pri- 

 maries grey-brown tinged with lilacine, and with four transverse brown 

 markings ; antemedial and postmedial lines, the former slightly un- 

 dulated, the latter rather wavy and curved round the end of cell ; medial 

 line broad, band-like, with a darker discal mark on it ; submarginal 

 line undulated, outwardly edged with whitish. Secondaries similar in 

 colour to primaries and with two darker transverse lines, the outer one 

 angled and outwardly edged with whitish below the middle. Expanse 

 24-26 millim. 



Somewhat similar to Nodaria fentoni, Butl., but in the male 

 separable therefrom by the knotted antennas, and in both sexes 

 by the different shape of the postmedial line. The secondaries 

 also are darker in colour. 



Described from a male specimen from Fusan in the National 

 Collection at South Kensington, where also are a female specimen 

 from Fusan and another from Gensan, one example of each sex 

 from Tsuruga, and two males from Nagahama. All these were 

 formerly in the Leech Coll., and were erroneously referred to 

 Nodaria fentoni, Butl.

ZOGRAPHUS LANEI, Sp. 11. (fig. 1). 



Shining black ; pronotum transversely striate, in alternate bands 

 of pale ochraceous pubescence, and shining black. The head is 

 shining black, rugose, with two curved lines of pale ochraceous pube- 

 scence on each side, the one at the base being much shorter than the 

 anterior line. The antennae are very slightly longer than the body ; 

 the basal joint is stoutest, and shorter than the head, rather coarsely 

 granulated, the second joint being smoother, and nearly three times 

 as long as the first joint ; the remaining joints are shorter than the 

 second, and about equal in length ; the segments are bluish grey at 

 their basal insertion, and black at the apical end. The elytra are 

 thickly and coarsely punctured and sparsely pilose ; the humeral 

 angles are slightly produced forward ; a broad band of pale ochraceous 

 hair on each elytron about the centre reaching from the lateral margin 

 to near the suture, a short narrow pale ochraceous transverse fascia 

 on each side of suture, half-way between the white pale band and 

 the base, and in a line with these on each side are irregular pale 

 ochraceous marks at margin of elytra ; near the apical margin of
