Moths new to Japan. 133 



diffused and only extendiDg above the mediau vein as a Avliite 

 edging to the central belt; the external area brown with the 

 white sub-marginal line much more irregular; marginal dots and 

 fringe similar; secondaries much paler, of a silvery grey-brown 

 colour ; under-surface much like that of M. strigiUs, excepting 

 that the secondaries are crossed by one sharply defined deeply 

 dentate-sinuate line, instead of two narrow arched stripes. 

 Expanse of wings 27 mm. 

 Yokohama ? 



The number on this insect (857) is evidently incorrect; the 

 ticket must have been placed on the wrong specimen by Mr. 

 Pryer. 



Apaviea repetita, n. sp. 



Pattern of A. inclocilis {Xylophasia indociJis, Wlk.), from New 

 York, and nearly that of A. conciliata, from Japan ; but the 

 primaries differing from both in their red-brown colour, in the 

 whiter reniform spot and discal band ; the secondaries in their 

 pale silvery-brownish colour (like that of A. opJiiogramma, of 

 Europe); under-surface pale silvery-brownish, or silvery-whitish, 

 with golden reflections; the secondaries with an indistinct dusky 

 disco-cellular spot. Expanse of Aviugs 34 mm. 



No exact locality recorded ; probably Yokohama. 



The arrangement of the markings on the upper surface of the 

 primaries is so like that in A. conciliata (111. Typ. Lep. Het. II. 

 pi. xxix, fig. 3) that I have not thought it Avorth while to des- 

 cribe it here, the coloration is, however, very different, and the 

 pale discal band, broader and clearer than in ^1. dumcrHii, the 

 pale secondaries and the absence of markings on the under- 

 surface at once distinguish it.

NOCTUICE. 



Triphaniopsis cineresccns, n. sp. 



Primaries having precisely the appearance of those of 3fame- 

 stra arctica, of N. America, but in reality only differing from 

 those of T. lucilla in their more triangular shape, in the pearl- 

 grey suffusion on the basal area, the stone- coloured discoidal 

 spots, the ash-grey discal belt and pale ash-grey speckled ex- 

 ternal border; secondaries paler throughout than in T. InciUuj
