200 Heterocerous Lepidoptera from Japan. 
90. Pyrinioides aurea, ni. 8. 
Shining golden yellow, reticulated with red-brown ; 
primaries crossed by a dark brown post-median line, to 
which three red-brown parallel lines run, at about equal 
distances apart, from the middle of the outer margin, 
the external angle, and the inner margin; secondaries 
crossed before the middle by a red-brown line towards 
which two other lines, from the anal angle and the outer 
margin, converge; body paler than the wings, back 
of metathorax whitish; third abdominal segment pink, 
with red-brown posterior margin; under surface pale 
straw-yellow; markings nearly as above, less con- 
spicuous ; primaries with a dark spot at the end of the 
cell ; internal border sericeous pinky whitish ; expanse of 
wings, 1 inch. 
Tokei (Fenton). 
A most extraordinary little species ; the slender pencil 
of hair which lies close along the front margin of the 
tibial joint of the hind legs is unusually long for such 
an appendage.
