Heterocera from China, Japan, and Corea. 321 
additional spot and the black borders of all the wings are 
much narrower than in any other specimen in the series. 
In the original description of this species it is stated 
that the male has six belts on the abdomen and the female 
five; but as there is also a band on the first segment of 
the abdomen it would perhaps be better to amend the 
description by saying that the male has seven and the 
female six yellow bands.

Syntomis perizanthia, Hampson, Cat. Lep. Phal.,i,ined.(1898). 
Occurs at Omei-shan, Moupin, Kwei-chow, Wa-shan, 
in June. I have a long series, but most of the specimens 
are from Moupin. The type, which is in the National 
Collection at South Kensington, is from Formosa. 
The hyaline markings vary in size, but appear to be 
constant in number. In some examples, chiefly females, 
there is a small yellow spot (not hyaline), seeming to be a 
detached portion of the pair of spots below the cell. 
The males range from 40—48 millim. in expanse, and 
the females from 45—50 millim.
