Sesiid.3s. 

 Trochilium, Sciapteron, and Sesia are each represented, but 

 by East Asian species only ; and the same remark applies to the 

 genera Ino and Zygcena in the Zygsenidse. 



BOMBYCES. 

 Nycteolid^e. 



Sarothripus undulanus, Hiibn. — The examples of this 

 species in Mr. Leech's collection are of the ashy-grey form 

 russiana, Dup. 



Earias chlorana, Linn. — Is represented in Japan by E. pudi- 

 cana, Staud., which has fringes of fore wings reddish-brown, and 

 the basal half of costal area is sometimes tinged with pinkish. 



Hylophtla prasinana, Linn. — A form of this species, with 

 costa and inner margin of fore wings yellow and with red- 

 spotted fringes, has been named sylpha by Dr. Butler. Examples 

 of this form occur in Europe as well as in Japan ; the typical 

 form is found in the latter country also.
