alopecurus, Esp., " the exterior outline of the reniform yellowish," This 

 is evidently incorrect of Esper's figure. Newman says, "uniform red- 

 brown, the reniform spot being indicated by a pale line, and a few other 

 darker and paler dots scattered over the wing" (' British Moths,' p. 283). 

 Dr. Staudiuger, in his ' Catalogue ' says of this variety, " al. ant. unicolor, 

 brunneis." 



6. var. nigro-ruhida, mihi. — The most extreme melanic form of the 

 species, of a most intensely blackish-red or blackish-brown colour; no pale 

 streaks on the costa, and perfectly unicolorous, with the exception of a 

 faint trace of the outline of the orbicular and the outer edge of the 

 reniform. Hind wings dark grey, nervures more dusky. Thorax of the 

 same dark colour as the anterior wings. The type of this variety was cap- 

 tured in Lewis in 1887. I have only seen specimens of this variety from 

 the Hebrides.

NEW SPECIES OF DELTOIDS AND PYRALES FROM 



COREA, NORTH CHINA, AND JAPAN.

(Plates II., III., & IV.) 



The identification of species of these obscure groups is a 

 matter of difficulty. The existing descriptions and figures are 

 not always easy to make out, and it is almost a necessity to 

 compare the specimens with the original types, which latter are 

 often in a very inferior condition. In one season's collecting 

 I took over four hundred species of the above groups, which I 

 have carefully compared with the types in Dr. Staudinger's, Mr. 

 Moore's, and the national collections. 



Hypena coeealis, n. sp., Plate II., fig. 1. 



Cinnamon-brown. Primaries with a slender basal patch of darker brown, 

 reniforni represented by a square grey blotch, and the orbicular by a black 

 dot ; a broad angulated dark baud, bordered internallj' by a blackish line and 

 externally by a greyish white line, traverses the disc of the wing, a faint 

 wavy submarginal line preceded by a greyish patch on the costa, a dark 

 apical streak. Secondaries traversed by a dark basal and a pale central line ; 

 three black dots on inner margin towards anal angle. Under sm-face 

 fuscous-grey, with the markings of the upper side reproduced. Expanse, 

 29 mm. 



One of each sex taken by myself at Gensan in July, 1886. 

 Hypena satsumalis, n. sp., Plate II., fig. 13. 



Primaries dark brown, sprinkled with gi'ey on the basal and outer 

 marginal areas, a narrow oblique white line beyond the middle of the wdng, 

 and a submarginal wavy whitish line commencing as a broad streak at apex. 

 Secondaries fuscous-brown. Under surface fuscous ; secondaries and apex 

 of primaries sprinkled with darker scales. Expanse, 23 — 27 mm. 



Nearest allied to Hypena indicatalis, but the transverse line of
