Heterocerous Lepidoptera from Japan. 5 
ZYGHNIDA. 
5. Syntomis erebina, ni. 8. 
Dark chocolate-brown ; primaries with four squamose 
testaceous oval spots on the disc, one near the costa, 
two separated only by the third median branch, and the 
fourth on the interno-median interspace; secondaries 
with a large oval squamose testaceous spot just beyond 
the cell, and a U-shaped marking attached to a small 
dot on the interno-median area; head, collar, tegule, 
and abdomen glossed with dull steel-blue; abdomen 
banded at the base and just beyond the middle with 
ochreous; under surface as above, excepting that the 
markings of the secondaries are pale ochreous, and 
united into an irregular belt, and that there are three 
ochreous spots on each side of the basal half of the 
venter ; expanse of wings, 1 inch 63 lines. 
One example, Tokei (Fenton). 
Allied to S. phegea of Europe. 
ARCTIIDA. 
6. Nemeophila macromera, N. 8. 
Very close to N. plantaginis of Europe ; but constantly 
larger, the white spot in the discoidal cell apparently 
never touching the costal margin, the subapical sig- 
moidal stripe not united to the &-shaped marking; the 
secondaries pale ochreous instead of orange, with a con- 
tinuous irregular black external border ; two disco-sub- 
marginal black spots, the first beyond the cell and the 
second larger, and uniting with the external border; a 
lunate spot at the end of the cell; a submedian streak 
from the base to the first branch of the median vein, 
and a second broader and longer interno-median streak ; 
body normal; expanse of wings, 1 inch 9 lines. 
Var. lewcomera. 
Differs from the ordinary form just as NV. hospita from 
typical N. plantaginis in the snow-white colour of its 
secondaries. 
Var. melanomera. 
Differs from the ordinary form much as N. matronalis 
does from typical NV. plantaginis, but differs from Freyer's 
first figure, to which it comes nearest, in the different 
form and coloration of the markings of the secondaries,
