56 Mr. J. H. Leech's new species of GeometrcB. 



I captured some specimens at Nagasaki in May, and my 

 native collector obtained examples in Kiushiu. Both sexes are 

 represented. 



Pkionia kosearia, sp. n. 



Pale brown, suffused with rosy. Primaries have two central, oblique, 

 transverse ochreous Hnes, the space between lines shghtly darker ; an 

 ochreous cloud on costa before apex. Secondaries have a short transverse 

 ochreous line extending from abdominal margin to near the middle of the 

 wing. Under surface rather darker ; primaries without transverse line, 

 more deeply suffused, costa bordered with ochreous from base to a cloud of 

 same colour before apex. Fringes rosy. Expanse, 32 — 34 mm. 



I obtained six specimens, including both sexes, at Ningpo, in 

 April. 



The first of the central lines is not always clearly defined in 

 some specimens. 



Tacparia pryeraria, sp. n. 



Brown, suffused with purplish. Primaries traversed by three darker 

 transverse lines ; the space between central and outer lines is pale brown 

 below the costa. Secondaries crossed by two transverse lines, enclosed space 

 sometimes paler. Fringes preceded by a pale line, which is inwardly bor- 

 dered with dark brown. Under surface yellowish, sprinkled with greyish 

 brown ; outer margin of primaries broadly suffused with brownish ; there 

 is an inconspicuous discal spot on each wing. Expanse 3' 40 mm. ; 

 5 37 mm. 



Three male and two female specimens from Gifu (coll. Pryer). 



CORYMICA GENSANARIA, Sp. n. 



$ . Pale stramineous, spotted and marked with purple-brown ; there is 

 a cloud of purple-brown at apex of primaries ; a series of three spots repre- 

 sent the inner line ; the central line is double ; the outer line, composed of 

 a series of dots, is followed by two large spots placed colon-like on the inner 

 margin. Secondaries have a fairly broad central band and border to outer 

 margin, with an ill-defined transverse series of spots between them. Under 

 surface as above, but the disc of primaries is more clouded with purple- 

 brown. Expanse, 24 mm. 



One female specimen taken by my native collector, at 

 Gensan, in July. 



Krananda latimarginaria, sp. n. 



Primaries pale brown, broadly tinged with ochreous along costal area ; 

 basal line brown, acutely angulated ; beyond the middle of the wing there is 

 a pale line parallel with outer margin — this is edged externally with fuscous, 

 and followed by a dark brown border, the outer limit of which is only well- 

 defined towards the pale apex ; a longitudinal dusky shade on central area 

 from the angle of basal line to outer line ; a large black spot near inner angle 

 and smaller one above. Secondaries excavated at the outer angle, pale 

 brown, traversed by a dusky central line ; beyond the middle of the wing 

 there is a pale line, almost parallel with the outer margin, bordered externally 

 with fuscous and brownish ; all the wings have a black discal spot. Under 

 surface same as above, but the^arownish borders of outer lines are better 

 defined. Expanse, <? 40 — 44 mm. ; ? 47 mm. 



Two male specimens and one female (coll. Pryer). 

 My native collector captured one male example at Nikko and 

 another at Gensan, both in the month of July.
