11 est fâcheux que nous ne possédions, en dehors de la des- 

 cription qui suit, aucun renseignement biologique sur les espèces 

 de ce groupe qui paraissent caractéristiques des régions méridio- 

 nales sino- japonaises. 



« Xylina mirabilis, n. sp. — Primaries with the costal half 

 pearly white, the internai half pale bronzy brown; a black spot at 

 base of internomedian interspace; an oblique dark brown fasciole 

 from costal margin to médian vein at basai hfth; costa beyond 

 this fasciole dark brown; a slightly oblique longitudinal brown 

 stripe from the apex to just beyond the cell, where it joins a 

 slender, postmedian, irregular, transverse line; a similar line from 

 the inferior extremity of the subbasal fasciole; a maculated, 

 white-edged, dark brown submarginal line; a very indistinct 

 transverse line betweéh the latter and the discal line; a séries of 

 dark brown marginal lituras almost confluent, so as to give the 

 appearance of a crenulated line; a black spot at end of cell; fringe 

 grey ; secondaries white, with pale brownish outer border ; thorax 

 dark brown; abdomen white. Under surface sordid white; 

 primaries browish, with white and dark brown apical costal

Cette espèce, incontestablement nouvelle, augmente d'une façon 

 très avantageuse nos connaissances du genre Saronaga.
