16 Mr. J. H. Leech on 



In a former paper (Proc. Zool. Soc., 18S8, p. 652) I referred 

 the Oiwake insect to " CymatojyJwra " albicostafa, Brem., 

 to which it bears a very strong superficial resemblance. 

 This was an error. 



Distribution. Simla; Sikhim {Hampson) ; Western 

 China; Japan.

One male specimen from Pu-tsu-fong, and a female from 

 the province of Kwei-chow, June and July. These agree 

 with examples from Amurland in my collection. Fixsen 

 records the species from Corea.

Polyploca alhihasis, Hampson, from the Himalayas (Fauna 

 Brit. Ind., Moths, i, p. 184), is very nearly allied to this 

 species, but the primaries, which are silvery-grey or greenish 

 in colour, have the costa bordered with whitish.
