Specimens were received from Chang-yang, Moupin, 

 and Omei-shan, taken in June and July. I obtained the 

 species at Ningpo in April, and my native collector 

 obtained it at Gensan in August. 



The Gensan and Ningpo examples are of the limhata 

 form, i.e., the secondaries are fuscous-brown, with a 

 yellow hind marginal border, but in all the other speci- 

 mens the whole of the outer half of secondaries is yellow, 

 and the upper spur of ground colour on primaries is 

 absent, whilst the lower one is very short. 



Distribution. Throughout India and Ceylon ; Burma ; 

 Andamans {Hampson) ; Central, Western, and North- 

 eastern China ; Corea. 



463. Euproctis argcntata, sp. n. 



Primaries orange-yellow, basal three-fourths powdered with 

 brownish and limited outwardly by an irregular series of brownish 

 spots, which are sprinkled with silvery scales ; the series is 

 interrupted between veins 5 and 6, and does not extend beyond 

 vein 7. Secondaries ochreous-white. Undersurface pale ochreous. 



Expanse 24 millim.
