54 Mr. J. H. Leech's new species of Geometrce 



dark brown, and the veins are dotted with black ; the pale wavy submarginal 

 line has a broad internal brown shade from just below the middle to inner 

 margin. Secondaries pale brown, shaded by a number of darker wavy lines ; 

 three of these are blackish, and are placed as follows : — one at the base, one 

 before the middle of the wing, and one beyond the middle. Fringes shining 

 brown, preceded by a fine black line and a series of distinct black spots. 

 Under surface pale brown, with a black discal spot on each wing ; the 

 primaries have the oblique cloud of upper surface indicated by a blackish 

 shade, limited outwardly by a black line : the secondaries have several darker 

 transverse lines beyond the discal spot. Expanse, 44 mm. 



One specimen taken by myself at Nagahama, in July. 



Allied to S. rhamnata from Europe, but at once distinguished 

 from that species by its larger size and the oblique central cloud- 

 like fascia. 



LOBOPHOKA GRISEARIA, Sp. n. 



Primaries whitish grey ; the basal area is grey-brown, limited by a black 

 transverse line ; the central area is traversed by a broad grey-brown fascia, 

 transversely intersected by a band of the ground colour, and limited inter- 

 nally by a black line and externally by a series of black dots followed by 

 white ones ; the apical portion of outer margin is broadly bordered with 

 grey-brown ; the nervules on this part of the wing are fuscous-brown, each 

 nervule with a white spot ; fringes whitish grey, tessellated with fuscous, 

 and there is a V-shaped mark at their base in each interspace. Secondaries 

 whitish grey, with an obscure dingy transverse line beyond the centre. 

 Under surface whitish grey, tinged with fuscous, the markings of above 

 faintly indicated. Expanse, 32 mm. 



Five male specimens and three females (coll. Pryer). ? Yoko- 

 hama. 



Allied to L. carpinata, Bork., from Europe. 



LOBOPHORA CONSOBRINARIA, Sp. U. 

 Very similar to L. viretata, Hiibn., but the primaries have some black 

 spots at the base ; the central fascia is narrower, and transversely intersected 

 by a distinct pale band ; the fascia also differs in outline from that of viretata, 

 in the following manner : — the inner edge is very slightly curved, and not 

 angulated in the least before the inner margin ; the outer edge is less bowed. 

 A further distinctive character is found in the whitish secondaries of this 

 species, which are without transverse lines either above or beneath. Expanse, 

 28 mm. 



One male specimen (coll. Pryer). Gifu. 



The general character of the fascia is more like that of the 

 female than the male of viretata, and for this reason I have 

 named the species consohrinaria. 



LoBOPHORA BELLARIA, Sp. U. 

 ^ . Basal half of primaries olivaceous-yellow, traversed by a dark grey- 

 brown fascia, and limited by a line of the same colour ; central fascia 

 whitish, contracted below the middle, and containing a black spot in its 

 upper portion ; the outer third of the wing is brownish-white, mottled with 

 darker, especially towards apex ; between the black nervules there are 

 patches of ochreous-yellow. Secondaries are tinged with fuscous, and have 

 an obscure central transverse line and discal spot. Under surface whitish, 

 shaded with fuscous ; the primaries have a dusky transverse central band, 

 edged with white on costa, and the secondaries have the central line more 

 distinct than above.
