Heterocera from China, Japan, and Corea. l2o 



example at Gensan in June, and my native collector took 

 one in the island of Kiushiu. 



Butler I c, described the male of this species as pseuda- 

 bietis and the female as pryeri. Staudinger subsequently 

 redescribed the species, of which he had both sexes as 

 pudica, which name, being pre-occupied, Kirby altered to 



modesta. -, -, ■ ^- in j • 



The differences between D. pseudaUetis and D. puat- 



hunda as mentioned by Staudinger (Rom sur Lep., ni 



p. 204) appear to be constant so far as my Japanese and 



Corean specimens are concerned. 



Distribution. Amurland ; Japan ; Kiushiu ; Corea. 



427. JDasychira lunulata. 

 Dasychira lunulata, Butl., Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., (4) 

 XX, p. 403 (1877); 111. Typ. Lep. Het., ii, pi. xxiv, 

 fig. 8 $ (1878). 

 Dasychira acronyda, Oberth., Etud. d'Entom., v, p. 3d, 

 pi. V, fig. 7 ^ (1881). _...,.. 



Dasychira solitaria, Staud., Rom. sur Lep., m, pi. xu, 

 fig. 1 $ (1887). 

 Occurs in Japan at Yokohama and Oiwake. 

 The male specimens agree perfectly with the type m 

 the National Museum and also with Oberthtir's excellent 

 fio-ure of acronyda $. The females agree very well with 

 Staudinc^er's figure of solitaria. Dr. Staudinger objects to 

 acronyda, Oberth. being considered synonymous with 

 lunulata, Butl., because the figure of the latter, which it 

 may be remarked is a very bad one, does not agree with 

 that of the former. He also says that as I did not mention 

 Amurland specimens, I probably had not seen examples 

 from the region ; this is true, but then the figures ot 

 acronyda and solitaria are both from Amurland speci- 

 mens and exactly represent the sexes of lunulata irom 

 Japan so that it was not possible to consider the Amur- 

 land insect specifically distinct from the Japanese. 

 Distribution. Amurland; Askold ; Japan.

 Dasychira bhana, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1865,
