Heterocera from China, Japan, and Corea. 387 
the Chang-yang specimens are referable to octopwnctata 
and two to sezpunctata. All but two of the Kwei-chow 
examples are six spotted, one of the exceptions has four 
spots and the other two only, 7.c., one on each primary. 
The Moupin female has pale straw-coloured secondaries 
with two very faint spots on each of the wings, and two 
well developed spots on each primary. One female from 
Kwei-chow has two spots on the left primary and one on 
the left secondary, whilst on the opposite pair the primary 
only is marked with one dot.

It occurs at Chang-yang, Ichang, Kiukiang, and Ta- 
chien-lu ; June, July, and August. I have only two female 
specimens, both from Ichang taken in August. The only 
example that I have from Ta-chien-lu is a male taken in 
July ; it is not in very good condition but the yellow is 
deeper in tone than in any of the other specimens. |

I have received this species from Chang-yang, Ichang, 
Kiukiang, Omei-shan, and the province of Kwei-chow. 
The specimen from the last-named locality is a female; 
this and also two examples of the same sex from Omei- 
shan have the band as broad as in the male, but in three 
other females from Omei-shan the band is narrower than 
in the male. In the Omei-shan specimens the band is 
orange-red instead of crimson.
