This species is allied to C. clla, Butl., not to C. dula as 

 previously stated. 

 Hahitut. Japan.

Catocala co7incxa, Butl, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lend., 1881, 



p. 196. 

 Catocala nuhila, Butl., 1. c. 



The type was from Tokio and the specimens in Fryer's 

 collection from Oiwake. 



I met with the species couiuionly in the month of 

 August at Hakodate, and obtained specimens at Sendai 

 in September. 



The colour variation ranges from pale silvery-grey with 

 well-defined markings, to an almost uniform dark ashy- 

 grey. One ochreous-grey example from Hakodate has the 

 space between the central transverse lines filled in with 

 blackisl), thus forming a broad fascia. 



Habitat. Japan aatl Yesso. 



1215. Catocala hutlcri, sp. n. 



Closely allied to C. cunnexa, Butl., but larger in fize. The ante- 

 medial line of primaries is more sinuous and less oblique ; the post- 

 medial and submarginal lines are more sharply dentate. On the 

 secondaries the black markings are rather broader, and the central 

 band almost unites with the marginal border about the middle and 

 towards tlie abdominal margin. Tlie space between the ante- and 

 postmedial line of primaries is clouded with pale greyisli-brown in 

 the male and witli white in the female. 



Expanse 72 millim. 



A male specimen from the province of Kwei-chow and 

 a female from Pu-tsu-fong, botli taken in July. 

 Habitat. Western China. 



1216. Catocala pr/vgnax. 



Catocala 2^rR'g7iax, Walk., Cat. Lep. Het., xiii, p. 1213 

 (1857); Butl, III Typ. Lep. Het., iii, p. 25, pi. xlvi, fig. 

 11 (1879). 



Walker's type was from North China. I obtained two 

 specimens at Gensan in July. 



Probably this is specifically identical with C. oblitcrata, 

 Men. 



Distribufion. North China ; Corea.
