Hderocera from China, Japan, and Corea. 25 



markings are very prominent. Ingrata, But!., is a large 

 dark form of the female, the secondaries being suffused 

 with fuscous on the outer marginal area, and the venation 

 is blackish. 



Staudinger records from Amurland a form approaching 

 var. 2^<Mida, Staud., from Central Asia. I have examples 

 of this form from Amurland, and some of the specimens 

 from the North-West Himalayas in my collection closely 

 agree with them. 



Distribntioii. Europe. — Central Asia; Amureand; 

 Japan; Kiushiu; Corea; Cp:ntral and Western

Occurs at Hakodate in June and July. There were a 

 few specimens without locality tickets in Fryer's collection, 

 but others in the same collection were labelled "Yesso." 

 This species may be separated from its near ally, A. cxdama- 

 tionis, by its larger size, darker colour, and stronger 

 markings. 



Habitat. Yesso : Japan.

The type of this species was from Tokio. Fryer's speci- 

 mens were from Oivvake, Yokohama, and Yahjniskiro ; my 

 native collector obtained examples in Kiushiu. 



Agrotis nigrocostata, Staud., from Amui'land, is very 

 closely allied to A. toldonis, Butl., and may be specifically 

 identical with it, but it is not possible to be certain of this 

 without comparing specimens of each, as the figure does 

 not seem to be good enough to judge by. 



Distribution. Japan; Kiushiu; Amurland.
