Heterocera from China, Japan, and Corea. 113 



I have referred this species doubtfully to Crinocraspcda ; 

 but a new genus will probably have to be made for it. 

 Vein 8 of secondaries is connected with vein 7 by a bar, 

 but there are no accessory veinlets as in the Odonestis 

 section of Lasiocampidse, and the cell is open. The outer 

 margins of the primaries are slightly crenulate, but those 

 of the secondaries are not.

There were specimens from Yokohama in Pryer's collec- 

 tion, and I obtained examples at Hakone and Gensan. 



I think that if Dr. Staudinger had had an opportunity 

 of seeing a good and variable series of this species from 

 Japan he would not have been inclined to uphold albo-
