Heterocerous Lepidoptera from Japan. 9 
lines; no dark spots on the apical area; abdomen and 
secondaries shining snow-white, without stain of any 
yellowish or brownish tint; expanse of wings, 1 inch 
5 lines. 
One perfect specimen. ‘Tokei (Fenton). 
The absence of the apical black or blackish spots at 
once distinguishes this from all the other species; it is 
not likely to be the female of the preceding, since this 
sex of S. extrema and S. calospila exhibits the same 
characteristic markings as in the male. 
LIPARIDA. 
16. Cherotriche niphonis, u. 8.

17. Cherotriche squamosa, n. 8. 
?. Ochreous; primaries above; a broad almost cu- 
neiform patch of reddish, mottled with black, filling 
nearly the whole space between the cell and the inner 
margin, but not quite extending to the base, and only 
touching the outer margin at external angle; a black 
spot at the end of the cell; extreme base white; a black 
spot close to the base; secondaries with a black spot at 
the end of the cell; under surface clear stramineous ; 
all the wings with a black spot at the end of the cell; 
expanse of wings, | inch 9 lines. 
Two females, Tokei (Lenton); one female, Yokohama

gamboge) than the secondaries.
