NOTES ON SOME RHYNCHOTA COLLECTED CHIEFLY IN 

 CHINA AND JAPAN BY MR. T. B. FLETCHER. R.N., F.E.S. 



By G. W. KiRKALDY, F.E.S. 



My friend Mr. Fletcher's very limited opportunities for 

 entomological work while with H.M. S. 'Centurion,' on the 

 China Station, were chiefly directed towards the acquisition of 

 Lepidoptera, so that the Ehynchota, which he has kindly added 

 to my collection, are hut few in numher, though of some interest. 

 The following is a preliminary list. (P) = probably in Palsearctic 

 region; (0)=probably in Oriental region. Castries Bay is just 

 south of the mouth of the Amur ; Kama Kura is close to Yoko- 

 hama : Kornilof is in the north-east of Cho-sen (as, I believe, 

 Korea ought properly to be termed) ; Leu-Kung-tao is an island 

 near Wei-hai-wei ; Port Lazareft", in Cho-sen, near Gen-san ; 

 and Pei-tai-ho, near Shan-hai-Kwan, in the Gulf of Leao-toug. 



My thanks are due to my amiable friend. Dr. Arnold L. 

 Montandon, who has been so kind as to examine the species 

 marked with an asterisk (*).

 Orient. Cicad., p. 99, pi. 13, fig. 15), the following details are 

 added. Belongs to Distant's section A. a. bb., and looks some- 

 what like a large broad hihamata, being perhaps intermediate 

 between the latter and leechi, Dist. Anterior femora armed with 

 two very strong si)ines ; opercula reaching beyond the middle of 

 the abdomen, overlai)ping interiorly, rounded apically. Last two 

 "abdominal" dorsal segments spotted with reddish-ochraceous,
