The specimens in Fryer's collection were from Yoko- 

 hama and Gifu. I obtained one example at Gensan in 

 June, and have received a specimen from Kiukiang. 



I quite agree with the arrangement in our National 

 Collection where this species is referred to fiavostigma, 

 Brem., and singularis, Butl., is placed with it as a synonym. 

 I am also inclined to consider formosana, Butl., as a form 

 of this variable species of which I have a long series. 

 Further I concur with Staudinger that my inornata is 

 a distinct species (Rom. sur Lep., vi, p. 479). 



Distribution. Amurland ; CoREA ; FORMOSA; Japan;

1027. Leucania inornata. 



Leucania fiavostigma, var. inornata. Leech, Proc. Zool. Soc. 

 Lond., 1889, p. 482, pi. 1, fig. 7. 



There were two examples in Fryer's collection, one from 

 Gifu and the other probably from Yokohama, as I have 

 received one specimen from Mr. Manley which was obtained 

 in the latter district. 



Apart from the absence of markings the pink fringes 

 would seem to indicate inornata as distinct from fiavostigma.
