1468. Mastigophorus gladiata. 



Gidariplura gladiata, Butl., Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., (5) 

 iv, p. 449 (1879). 



Described from Yokohama. I obtained specimens at 

 Fushiki'in July and my native collector in Kiushiu ; I have 

 also received examples from Ichang and one from Omei- 

 shan, the latter is rather larger than the others in the 

 series. 



Distribution. Japan; Kiushiu; Central and West- 

 ern China. 



1469. Mastigophorus ochreistigma, sp. n. 



Antennse ciliated with paired bristles at each joint. Primaries 

 brown ; ante- and postmedial lines ochreous edged with dark brown, 

 the former wavy and oblique, the latter obtusely angled beyond the 

 cell ; submarginal line ochreous, interrupted ; reniform and orbicular 

 stigmata ochreous. Secondaries rather paler than the primaries with 

 a dark brown edged ochreous postmedial line and interrupted sub- 

 marginal line. 



Expanse 40-43 millim. 



A long series from Ichang, four specimens from Kiu- 

 kiang, and one from Chang-yang. June and July. 



Habitat. Central China. 



Very closely allied to 31. gladiata, Butl., but separable 

 from that species by the larger, ochreous, reniform stigma. 



1470. Mastigophorus inodesta, sp. n. 



Differs from M. ochreidigma in having a blackish reniform stigma 

 with pale outline ; the antemedial line is more oblique, not wavy, 

 and terminates on the inner margin nearer the postmedial line. 



Expanse 42 millim. 



One male specimen from Moupin taken in June. 



Habitat. Western China. 



1471. Mastigophorus butlcri, sp. n. 

 Antenna3 ciliated with paired bristles at each joint; front tibia; 

 chestnut-brown. Primaries purplish brown ; ante- and postmedial
