Heterocera from China, Japan, and Corea. 269 
Oberthiir describes a male specimen, taken by Mgr. Biet 
at Ta-chien-lu, under the name olivacea. This is probably 
the male sex of A. thespis, and differs from the female in 
being smaller and in having the transverse bands more 
distinct. 
The species appears to be nearly allied to S. lola, Westw., 
from Sikhim. 
Rothschild (Novit. Zool., ii, p. 45) refers S. megasticta, 
Swinhoe (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1894, p. 153), to A.ihespis 
as an aberration.
