Jfoths new to Japan. 129 



3. Sinna fentoni, Butler. 



Tokel, Japan. 



I have three specimens before me differing constantly from 

 the Chinese species in their more sulphur tinted primaries, the 

 markings on which are less orange and more slender, and all the 

 black spots considerably smaller ; the secondaries instead of 

 being of a pure silvery- white colour are tarnished and the 

 borders and fringe decidedly brownish. 



4. Sinna clai-a, Butler. 

 Tokei, Japan. 



Although from the same locality as the preceding, this is so 

 dissimilar that I do not for a moment doubt its distinctness. 



Chcerotriche niphonis, Butler. 



The specimen now sent is a fresh male, and shows that my 

 type is decidedly under-coloured ; the yellow costal band ex- 

 tending only to just beyond the cell and of a bright chrome- 

 yellow, enclosing a black discocellular spot; the fringes of all 

 the Avings straw-yellow ; the abdomen blackish, with yellow 

 anal tuft. 



Orgijia tJiyaJlina, $ , Butler (a little redder than the type). 



Plateumeta aurea, $ , Butler (rather worn). 



Gastropacha ceri-idifolia, Felder (much shattered). 



Staiavpns, sp. (too bad for positive identification). 

 This is probably the Ilarpyia taczanowskii, of OberthUr. 



Fentonia ocypete, Brem. (half a specimen). 

 Staudinger refers this species with hesitation to the genus 

 Uropus, and he is quite right in so doing, as it is perfectly 

 distinct from the type of that genus ; the fact of the species 

 being thus displaced, however, led to my redescribing it under 

 the name of Fentonia Icevis (Bremer's figure being barely re- 

 cognizable with the insect befoi-e you) ; my generic name there- 

 fore will stand.
