 Lithosia griseola, var. amurensis. Stand., Rom. sur Lep., vi, 



p. 268 (1892). 

 This very variable species occurs at Nikko, Oiwake, 

 Hakone, Hakodate, Tsuruga, Gensan, Chang-yang, Moupin, 

 Chia-ting-fu, Chia-kou-ho, and Wa-ssu-kow. Staudinger 

 describes a form from Amurland under the name amurensis, 

 and two of my examples from Japan seem to agree with 

 this description. The descriptions of adaucta and s^grota 

 apply rather to individual specimens than to constant 

 forms. 



Distribution. Europe. — Amurland ; Japan ; Yesso ; 

 Core A ; Central and Western China ; Nepal ; Sikhim. 

 [Lithosia caniola, Hiibn. Felder (Wien. ent. Mon., vi, 

 p. 36) records this species from Ningpo. I have not seen 

 L. caniola from any part of Eastern Asia, and am inclined 

 to suppose that the specimen referred to this species by 

 Felder is probably a form of L. griseola.'] 



576. lAthosia cinerca, 



Lithosia cinerca, Pouj., Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. (6), vi, p. cl. 

 (1886). 



I have a long series from Pu-tsu-fong and Ni-tou, but 

 no variation is exhibited. The type was from Moupin. 



Habitat. Western China. 



577. Lithosia vetusta. 



Lithosia vet^lsta, Walt., Cat. Lep. Het., ii, p. 506 (1854). 



I have one example from Hakone and one from Gensan. 

 The type was from Shanghai. 



Distribution. Eastern China ; Corea ; Japan.
