Butler's type- was from Tokio ; there were two specimens 

 from Yesso in Fryer's collection. 



Staudinger was evidently not acquainted with Butler's 

 species, or he would not have re-described it under the 

 name .£'. graeseri. 



Distribution. Japan ; Yesso ; Amurland. 



915. Euplexia alhovittata. 



Uuplcxia alhovittata, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1866, 

 p. 57, pi. vi, fig. 16 ; Hampson, Fauna Brit. Ind., 

 Moths, ii, p. 217 (1894). 



One specimen from Nikko in Fryer's collection ; I 

 obtained the species at Geusan in June, Mr. Andrews 

 captured an example at Hakodate, and I have received 

 specimens from Wa-ssu-kow, Ta-chien-lu, Pu-tsu-fong, 

 Wa-shan, and Chia-kou-ho. Occurs in June and July. 



Staudinger (Rom. sur Lep., vi, p. 461) considers that 

 the specimens I referred to E. alhovittata, Moore, in my 

 former paper, are most probably not that species at all, but 

 referable to E. illustrata, Graeser (Berl. Ent. Zeit., 1888, p. 

 339). I am certain that the specimens in question liave 

 been correctly determined by me, as they have been com- 

 pared with the type, and I am inclined to believe, after 

 reading the description of E. illustrata and without seeing 

 an example, that Graeser's insect is probably only a form 

 of E. alhovittata. I may add that Staudinger's remarks 

 are based on the description of illustrata alone, as he also, 

 he states, has not seen a specimen of it.
