 ii, p. 482 (1894). 



I have one example from Chow-pin-sa captured in 

 May or June. 



This specimen is very similar to the European C. 

 lencomclas, Linn., in colour, and so far as I can see it 

 agrees in markings with that species and also with C. 

 acronyctoides, which I am inclined to think is probably 

 a form of C. leucomelas.

 {Hampson); WESTERN ChinA.
