ASIATIC DISTRIBUTION OF BRITISH GEOMETRIDiE. ' 



Occurs in Amurland, Japan, and Western China. 

 Specimens are of forms similar to those occurring in Europe. 



Thera (Larentia) variata, Schiff. 



Hydriomena variata, Meyr. 

 Modifications of the obeliscata form occur in Japan, Corea, 

 and North-east China. 



[Larentia comis, Butl., from Japan, is very like some European 

 T. (L.) variata, but the antennae are shortly bipectinate.] 



[Oporabia dilutata, Bork., is replaced in Japan by a very 

 closely-allied species, 0. nexifasciata, Butl.] 



EUPITHECTA CASTIGATA, Hb. 



Tephroclystis castigata, Meyr. 

 Occurs in Amurland, Japan, and Western China. 



EUPITHECIA CORONATA, Hb. 



Chloroclystis coronata, Meyr. 

 Mr. Butler has described this species from Japan as E. 

 lucinda. The specimens do not differ from European examples. 



[Eupithecia rectangulata, Linn. — Mr. Leech is of opinion 

 that Lobophora julia, Butl. =- Chloroclystis jJalpata, Hampson, may 

 probably be an Eastern Asian representative of this species.] 



Lobophora halterata, Hufn. = Uexapterata, Schiff. 

 Occurs in Amurland and Yesso. Typical. 

 Loeophora (Trichopteryx) viretata, Hb. 

 Mr. Leech has one female specimen from Ta-chien-lu, 

 Western China ; taken in May. 



Asthena (Hydrelia) sylvata, Hb. 



Euchoeca sylvata, Meyr. 

 Occurs in Amurland and Japan. Typical. 



Asthena (Hydrelia) blomeri, Curtis = pulchraria, Eversm. 

 Euchoeca blomeri, Meyr. 



Becorded from Amurland and Japan. 



Mr. Leech refers to one specimen, from Pryer's collection, in 

 which " the only character that shows up at all prominently is 

 the short brownish fascia." 



Asthena (Hydrelia) luteata, Schiff. 



Euchoeca luteata, Meyr. 

 There were two specimens in Pryer's Japanese collection, and 

 these Mr. Leech states are paler than his European examples. 

 The species also occurs in Amurland and the Isle of Askold.
