ASIATIC DISTRIBUTION OF BRITISH GEOMETRIC^, 245 



former is placed in brackets. The position of the species in 

 in Mr. Meyrick's " Eevision of the European Geometridse " (Trans. 

 Ent. Soc. Lond. 1892) is also indicated. 



Urapteryx sambucaria, Linn. 



Occurs in Amurland, Japan, and Western China. 



Most Eastern Asian specimens are referable to var. persica, 

 Men., which is whiter than the type; but the type also occurs at 

 Omei-shan and Pu-tsu-fong, in Western China. 



Bapta bimaculata, Fb. = suhnotata, Warren. * 



Pseudopanthera himacidata, Meyr. 

 Mr. Leech has specimens from Japan, Yesso, and Corea. 



Bapta punctata, Fb. = temerata, Hb. 

 Asthena saiicta, Butl. 

 Pseudopanthera punctata, Meyr. 

 Occurs in Amurland, Japan, and Yesso. 

 Some specimens from the mainland of Japan are typical ; 

 others are suffused with greyish, and the markings are more or 

 less obliterated. Mr. Leech states that he has examples from 

 Germany which are somewhat similar to the suffused form. 



Angerona prunaria, L. 



EucJdana prunaria, Meyr. 



Occurs in Amurland, Corea, Japan, and Yesso. 



" Most of the European forms are represented in Japan, but 

 there is a wider range in the size of the specimens, the smallest 

 example being only 36 millim., whilst the largest measures 

 74 millim." 



NuMERiA pulveraria, Liuu. = japonica, Butl. 



Metrocampa pidveraria, Meyr. 

 Recorded from Amurland, Japan, Kiushiu, and Corea. 

 Mr. Leech notes that "the specimens from Gensan and 

 Kiushiu are very small." 



Sklenia tetralunaria, Yhxin.^dlustraria , Hb. 



The typical form was obtained at Hakodate, in Yesso, in the 

 month of June, and the var. astiva in August. 



Appears not to have been observed in any other East Asian 

 locality, 



Pericallia syringaria, Linn. 

 Hygrochroa syringaria, Meyr. 



Mr. Leech is of opinion that P. (H.) distans, Warr., may 

 possibly be an Asiatic form of this species, and he further con- 

 siders that P. parva, Hedem., from Amurland, may be identical 

 with P. distans.
