Heterocerous Lepidoptera from Japan. 197 
at the base of the costa; an irregular abbreviated belt 
from the costa at basal fourth, its centre traversed by an 
irregularly sinuated pale line; a second somewhat 
similar band from the centre of the costa to the origin of 
the second and third median branches; from these 
abbreviated bands two approximated undulated slender 
black lines run to the inner margin; two subparallel 
denticulated discal lines, the inner one abruptly angu- 
lated and duplicated towards the costa ; a marginal series 
of black dots bordered externally with white; fringe 
brown, spotted with blackish; secondaries bright 
ochreous, the abdominal area pale dull pinky brown ; 
an irregularly angulated unequal central belt and a 
rather broad marginal belt, smmuated internally, and in- 
terrupted at apex by a large ochreous spot, blackish 
chocolate ; fringe spotted with blackish (excepting at 
apex) at the extremities of the veins; thorax pale grey, 
barred with black ; abdomen pale brown, whitish at the 
sides; wings below straw-yellow, crossed by a central 
oblique externally angulated chocolate-brown band and a 
broad marginal belt, interrupted at apex by a large spot 
of the ground colour, primaries crossed near the base by 
a very oblique greyish brown belt; the external belt 
sharply angulated internally ; secondaries pale towards 
the abdominal border; the external belt trisinuated 
internally as above; body below white; tarsi black, 
banded with pale yellow; expanse of wings, 2 inches 
6 lines.

86. Spurama egrota, n. 8. 
Near to S. martha*, but rather paler above, and with 
less prominent markings; the first and second lines on 
the primaries much nearer together, the third line hardly 
represented, excepting by the black dots on the nervures ; 
the disc more pink in tint, the external area decidedly 
more greenish olive in colour, and the fringe much more 
rosy; the body paler and greyer ; below, the differences 
are more decided; the whole ground colour is of a 
brilliant brick-red colour, not sordid as in S. martha ; 
the first transverse dusky line of the primaries is barely 
distinguishable, and crosses the wing at the end of the 
cell, instead of at some distance beyond it, the other lines
