52 Mr. J. H. Leech's 7ieiv species of Geometrce 



there are two pale patches — one in the first median interspace near the 

 central line, the other in the second median interspace just beyond the outer 

 line ; the last pale patch is enclosed on three sides by a dai'k grey-brown 

 cloud. Secondaries traversed bj' two central transverse brownish lines. 

 Fringes yellowish, with some brownish patches at the tips of the nervules. 

 Under surface similar to above but paler. 



? . The primaries are less powdered with ochreous-brown, and the grey- 

 brown cloud is larger. Expanse, <? 34 — 41 mm. ; ? 32 — 50 mm. 



Several specimens (coll. Pryer). Oiwake. 



A most variable species, both as regards coloration as well as 

 size. Two of the largest males are almost uniform pale yellow, 

 and, although the markings are traceable, they are very faint on 

 the upper surface, but beneath they are almost as distinct as in 

 the type : for this form I propose the name of unicoloraria. 



CiDARIA PARVARIA, Sp. n. 



$ . Primaries chocolate-brown : basal two-thirds limited by an angulated 

 double white line, and intersected by two fine white lines, the first of which 

 is obHque and the second double ; from the angle of the bordering line a 

 longitudinal white dash proceeds to outer margin ; submarginal line is white 

 and wavy. Secondaries fuscous, with a pale central transverse line. 

 Fringes grey. Under surface fuscous ; primaries with central, and second- 

 aries with central and submarginal, whitish lines. Expanse, 20 mm. 



There were two specimens in Fryer's collection, probably 

 from Yokohama. 



CiDARIA ? DEBILITATA, Sp. H. 

 5 . Primaries pale whity-brown, traversed by two dusky dotted transverse 

 lines ; the first is slightly curved to the median nervure, and from thence 

 proceeds straight to the inner margin ; the second commences parallel with 

 outer margin, then curves gently inwards to the first median nervule, from 

 whence it runs straight to inner margin ; discal spot black. Secondaries 

 whitish, glossy, and without distinct markings. Under surface whitish ; all 

 the wings have a black discal spot, and a black-dotted transverse line parallel 

 with oiiter margin. Exj^anse, 40 mm. 



One specimen (coll. Pryer). Gifu. 



AntICLEA ? NINGPOARIA, Sp. n. 



$ . Primaries dark brown, traversed by two black lines which approxi- 

 mate below the middle — between the outer line and apex is a black colon- 

 mark on the costa ; beyond the central line there is a suffused ochreous 

 band ; the outer margin is broadly suffused with fuscous, intersected by a 

 pale submarginal line. Secondaries brown, suffused with fuscous and 

 traversed by blackish lines. Discal spot present on all the wings, but not 

 very distinct. Fringes dark grey-brown. Under surface grey, tinged with 

 fuscous ; all the wings have a black discal spot and two transverse black 

 central Imes. Expanse, 28 mm. 



Two male specimens from Ningpo ; one taken by myself in 

 April, and one by my native collector in June. 



Anticlea grataria, sp.n. 



Primaries pale grey, with a reddish brown stripe along the base of the 

 costa ; from the outer end of this a blackish fascia descends to inner margin ; 

 beyond the middle of the wing are two fine lines originating in the lower edge
