so Mr. J. H. Leech's ?ieio species of Geometra 



hardly paler than the rest of the wing, and the discal ocelli are not very 

 distinct. Expanse, ^ 40 mm. ; ? 45 mm. 



Several specimens from Gifu (coll. Pryer). 



FiDONIA LUTEARIA, Sp. n. 

 Pale yellow, spotted and banded with blackish. Primaries have three 

 spots at the base, followed by an interrupted oblique transverse line ; a large 

 discal spot precedes a fairly broad central band, which is followed by a series 

 of spots formi'.ig a transverse waved line ; ths outer mar.i^'in is broadly bor- 

 dered with blackish, transversely streaked with yellow. Secondaries have a 

 broadish transverse band on each side of the large discal spot, ami the outer 

 margin has a broad interrupted border, transversely streaked with yellow. 

 Fringes yellow, chequered with black. Head yellow in front ; thorax 

 blackish, with yellow collar and markings on the patagia. Under surface as 

 above, but the markings are paler. Expanse, 17 — 19 mm. 



Three specnneiis in Fryer's collection, from Oiwake (No. 472). 

 In one of the males the markings are more or less confluent, 

 thus giving the insect a blackish coloration, with fine interrupted 

 transverse yellow lines and yellow patch at apex of primaries. 



Halia fuscaria, sp. n. 



Grey, powdered with fuscous ; the primaries are traversed by three, and 

 the secondaries by two, fuscous-brown transverse lines ; the outer in each 

 case double, enclosing a paler space, and followed by a whitish line expanding 

 towards costa of primaries ; a black discal spot on secondaries. Fringes 

 brownish grey, those of primaries chequered with fuscous-brown. Under 

 surface as above, but the costa of primaries and space enclosed by double line 

 tinged with ochreous. Expanse, 28 — 30 mm. 



Three examples of each sex (coll. Pryer). Oiwake, Yokohama. 



Halia corearia, sp. n. 



^ . Ochreous-yellow, suffused with brownish : the primaries have a basal 

 line, a rather broad central band, and outer marginal border, dark purplish 

 brown ; the central band is contin^^ed across the secondaries, and these 

 wings have a dark purplish-brown interrupted antemarginal band. Under 

 surface yellowish, sparingly speckled with purplish brown ; transverse bands 

 as above. Expanse, 30 mm. 



The female appears to be similar to the male, but the only 

 specimen I have of this sex is rather worn. Of the three other 

 males one agrees with the specimen described, but it is in poor 

 condition ; two are quite perfect, and vary from the type in 

 opposite directions : thus, one is much paler, and the central 

 band of the wings is intersected by a transverse pale line ; the 

 other is of a uniform brown colour above, except towards apex, 

 where the ochreous-yellow of the type asserts itself. There is 

 but little difference, however, on the under surface. 



Three male specimens taken by myself in June, and one 

 example of each sex in July, at Gensan. The last are the worn 

 specimens adverted to.
