208 SCHISTOMITRA. By Dr. E. Strand. 



Head small; palpi small; antennae stout, slightly dentate on the inner side; thorax stouter than in the 

 preceding genus; legs stout and short; thorax woolly, abdomen stout, velvety, not reaching the anal angle. 

 Forewing very broad. Costal margin short and straight, outer margin curved, iiuaer margin straight, almost 

 as long as the costal margm ; all the veins separate, costal vein ending at two-thirds of the costal margin subcostal 

 branches 1 and 2 thrown off some distance before the apex of the cell, 3 and 4 on a long stalk, 5 and 

 upper radial on a short stalk from the upper angle of the cell; lower radial branch considerably nearer the 

 ui)per than the lower angle of the cell; discocellular slightly curved; median branches widely separate at their 

 origin. Hindwing pear-shaped, broad, with rather long costal margin: costal vein long; subcostal giving off 

 two branches from the apex of the cell ; the radial vein originates considerably above the middle of the disco- 

 cellular, which is oblique and slightly curved; median branches distant from each other at their origin, the 

 submedian reaches the anal angle. — Known only from Japan. 



ftineralis. S. funeralis Bnfl. (48 g). Of medium size; thorax black with yellow collar; wings black; forcM-ing 



with ivory yellow basal stripe below the costa, a broad curved band whose inner edge is deeply indented and 

 wavy at the apex of the cell, and also with a broad discal band consistmg of 8 elongate spots separated 

 by the veins, the upper ones of which are rather long and linear, the fourth being short and quadrangular. 

 On the hindwing the basal part of the costal margin is also creamy yellow; a broad band widened costally 

 above the apex of the cell fills up nearly the whole basal half of the wmg, which, like the forewing, bears 

 a discal band separated by the veins into 8 spots. Abdomen with four orange bands. On the underside the tho- 

 rax is clothed with white hair laterally, and the abdomen orange with four longitudinal rows of black spots. 

 — As yet only known from Honto, from Fujisan and Nikko. The moth seems to be very local.
