Hdcrocera from China, Jafpan, and Corea. 133 



Wa-shan, and Chia-kou-ho, and a series comprising five 

 males and six females, bred in May at Chung-King, 

 from larvae obtained in that locality. All the intergrades 

 between the white type and var. lutesccns are represented. 

 In one male from Chia-kou-ho the black spot on primaries 

 is almost absent, and approaches var. immaculata, and 

 one male from Chung-King has an obscure fuscous post- 

 medial band similar to that of Chcerotricha immaculata, 

 Butl., which Hampson considers to be a form of UuprocHs 

 pUma, Walk. 



Cramer (Pap. Exot., iv, cccxcviii, fig. E.) represents a 

 specimen under the name alhina ? from Japan which may 

 possibly be a form of the species under consideration. The 

 same remark applies to hclladia, Cram., /. c, fig. H.
