172 Mr. A. G. Butler’s Descriptions of new 
45. Thyatira pryert, 0. s. 
Closely allied to 7’. pudens of North America, but with 
the brown patch towards the base of costal area con- 
siderably more cuneiform, and the streak connecting it 
with the disc of the wing far more oblique; the inferior 
margin of the large white basal patch regularly biundated ; 
the large white costal patch beyond it more sharply de- 
fined, not interrupted, carried backwards in a conical 
shape so as to completely obliterate the orbicular spot, 
its inferior margin curving down and almost obliterating 
the reniform spot; apical white patch less sharply de- 
fined, less excised in front; the anal patch, the diffused 
patch i in front of it upon the inner mar cin, and the fringe 
bright rust-red, instead of ochraceous ; the fringe spotted 
with brown; secondaries darker, more pinky in tint, the 
fringe rust-red tipped with whitish ; tegule whity-brown 
instead of white ; expanse of wings, 1 inch 11 lines.

As Gonophora scripta of Gosse and Thyatira pudens of 
Guénée are well-known species, | have not hesitated to 
give comparative descriptions of these two Japanese 
forms. 
46. Leptina grata, n. s. 
Primaries above pale olivaceous, with broad subcostal 
and interno-median pink streaks extending from the 
base almost to the middle; discoidal spots large, the 
so-called ‘‘orbicular’’ oblique and almost triangular, 
with yellowish olivaceous centre; the reniform pinky, 
and enclosing a B-shaped olivaceous marking; sub- 
basal line very slender and inconspicuous, dark brown, 
zigzag; two oblique olive-brown dashes at base of costa 
before the commencement of the subbasal line; a brown 
irregular costal patch above and between the discoidal 
spots, beyond which and above the reniform spot the 
costal border is pinky white, spotted with olivaceous ; 
discal line slender, arched, dentated, dark brown; inner 
margin purplish brown, excepting at the base, crossed 
in the centre by a very oblique (almost longitudinal) 
black-edged white line, and near the external angle by a 
transverse black-edged bisinuated white line; an arched 
diffused tapering brown streak from the costa just beyond 
the dentated discal line, and a submarginal purplish
