NEW SPECIES OF DELTOIDS AND PYRALES. 7l 



Hydrocampa interruptalis, Pryer, v. separatalis, Plate IV., 

 figs. 2 & 13. 



a. Colour and markings similar to the tj'pe, but on the secondaries the black 

 lines, which in the type form the external border of the white discal spots, 

 and traverse the wing from costa to abdominal margin, are in this form absent 

 in the area between the spots. Under surface darker, markings as above (fig. 2). 



/3. Markings as in var. a, but the ground colour is chocolate brown. 

 Expanse, 19—21 mm. (fig. 13). 



I took a specimen at Ningpo in April, and several, including 

 both sexes and the brown form at Gensan, in June, 1886. 



Leparodes floralis, n. sp., Plate IV., fig. 1. 

 (? . Whity-brown ; angulated basal, central, and submarginal lines of 

 primaries whitish edged with brownish ; a white line parallel with outer 

 margin broken up into spots, each of which is edged externally with black. 

 Secondaries pinkish towards outer margin, with two central, transverse, 

 brownish edged, white lines, and a marginal series of white spots, edged 

 externally with black. Under surface, fuscous-brown markings similar to 

 upper side but less distinot. Expanse, 17 mm. 



I took a (? example at Tsuruga, and one at Fushiki in July. 



Desmia sodalis, n. sp., Plate IV., fig. 6. 



Fuliginous black. Primaries with a quadrate white spot on disc, followed 

 by a wavy whitish yellow submarginal line, commencing at the costa in a 

 wedge-shaped mark, a yellow spot on the outer margin close to inner angle. 

 Secondaries witli a white central band, which widens out into a blotch about 

 the centre of the wing. Under surface the same ; pectus yellowish, antennas 

 tipped with yellow, body with three white bars at base, and a broader 

 yellow bar near the extremity. Expanse, 20 mm. The sexes do not differ. 



I took this species in Satsuma, May ; Nagasaki, June ; and 

 received it from Mr Manley, Yokohama ; and Ningpo (Native Coll.). 

 There is an unnamed example of this species in the National 

 Collection from Chekiang. 



Zebronia ornatalis, n. sp., Plate IV., fig. 12. 

 (J . White ; primaries with three black spots, one of which is on the 

 costa near the base ; another on the disc, with one just below it near the 

 inner margin ; a black central line commencing as a spot on the costa, sub- 

 marginal and marginal lines also black. Under surface white sprinkled with 

 dai'ker towards costa, markings as above but very indistinct. Expanse, 17 mm. 



Three examples taken by my native collector at Ningpo in 

 June, and one specimen by myself at Foochau in April. 



Oryba regalis, n. sp., Plate IV., fig. 9. 

 3' . Flame red. Primaries more crimson about the costal and basal 

 areas ; a large lemon-yellow spot bordered with black, and with an indenta- 

 tion on its outer margin, is situated just bayond centre of costa, from the 

 extremity of this spot a red line descends to inner margin. Secondaries with 

 a slight trace of a red central band. Under surface more dusky than upper 

 sxu-face. Expanse, 31 lines. 



I took a single male at Gensan, Corea, in July, 1886.
