Heterocera from China, Japan, and Corea. 345 
Alphéraky (Rom. sur. Lép., ix, p. 125) records two speci- 
mens, one from the province of Gan-sou, and the other 
from the valley of the river Fou-bian; these he says have 
considerable resemblance to both “ Arbudas” syfanica and 
“ A.” thibetana, but do not agree exactly with either, and 
suggests that all may be forms of one species. 
244. Chalcosia thibetana. 
Arbudas thibetana, Oberth., Etud. d’Entom., xix, p. 32, 
pl. vi, fig. 44 (1894). 
Hab. WESTERN CHINA. 
245. Chalcosia alpherakyi, sp. n. 
¢ Differs from C. thibetana, Oberth., as figured, in its larger size, 
and the metallic green colour of primaries ; the neuration is not 
marked with white, the white transverse band is broader and not 
connected with the costa to form a Y-shaped mark. In shape it 
more resembles C. syfanica, from which species, however, it can 
readily be separated by the absence of white basal band and yellow 
markings on thorax and abdomen. 
Q Agrees with the male except that the band of primaries is 
' broader and the marginal band of secondaries is absent. 
Expanse 32-38 millim. 
Six male specimens and three females were taken at 
How-kow, on the Thibetan frontier, at an elevation of 
10,000 feet ; June and July. 
Hab. WESTERN CHINA.
