Hakodate. I have also received examples from Cliang- 

 yang. Occurs in July and August. 



Hampson (Fauna Brit. Ind., Moths, ii, p. 571) includes 

 nlhostriata, Brem., with P. gufta, Guen., and these names 

 are placed under a series of Plusia in the National Collec- 

 tion at South Kensington, but the insect there indicated 

 as albostriata, Brem., appears to be wrongly identiBed, as 

 it really is a form of P. gvtia, Guen.
