Selepa manleyi var. clara, Leech, Proc. Zool. Soc. Loud., 

 1889, p. 479. 



Two examples tVoni Oiwakc ami one from Yokohama 

 in Piyer's collection. I also received one specimen from 

 Mr. Manley of Yokohama. 



In my former paper I described this as a form of P. 

 manleyi, but I am now inclined to think that it is distinct 

 from that species, and separable by its smaller size, greyer 

 colour, and rather different angulation of the transverse 

 lines, especially as regards the basal and inner lines.
