Hetcrocera from China, Jcvpan, and Gorca. 541 



a rather broad black medial Ijand which is attenuated above the 

 median nervure ; submarginal line black, sharply angled below the 

 middle ; reniform stigma not well defined ; orbicular white, pi;ncti- 

 form ; a fine lunulate black line, dotted with white, before the outer 

 margin ; fringes preceded by a wavy pale line. The discal area is 

 traversed by irregular paler bands. Secondaries paler marked with 

 black on abdominal margin ; a short black line before nnal angle ; 

 markings on outer margin as on primaries. Under surface pale brown 

 suffused with fuscous especially on the outer marginal area ; 

 primaries have a pale discal Innule and diffuse blackish line beyond ; 

 secondaries have a pale discal dot and a double, angulated, blackish, 

 medial line. 



Expanse 64-68 millim. 



In some examples the space beWoen the antemedial 

 line and medial band is powdered with greenish-grey 

 scales except on the costal area. I propose the name 

 ornata for this form. 



Twelve male specimens and one female from Pu-tsu-fong, 

 taken in June or July. Five of the males and the female 

 example are referable to var. ornata. 



HaUtat. Western China. 



Similar to S. olena, Swinhoe, but larger, the fascicles of 

 antennae are heavier, the submarginal line is more acutely 

 angled, and the markings of the under surface are 

 different.

 primaries is oblique and not angled ; the basal three-fourths of all 

 the wings blackish, outer fourth light brown.
