90 Mr. J. H. Leech on 



Three specimens in Piyer's collection, probably from 

 Yokohama. Two of these agree with Lvtcvirens in having 

 dark secondaries, and in the other the secondaries are 

 much paler. 



Staudinger considers Lrfcvircns to be a pale local form of 

 decorata, Moore, and places it temporarily, and very doubt- 

 fully, in the genus Moma with which he states it agrees 

 better than with DiiMlicra. He gives no reason for reject- 

 ing Moore's genus Karana, which was founded for the 

 reception of decorata, Moore.

 from Mr. Manley of Yokohama are of the typical coloration
