All the new species recorded in this paper, as well as 
those species which have hitherto been unrecorded from 
Japan by any previous author, have been worked out at 
the South Kensington Museum, a few species only having 
been identified from plates, in those cases where speci- 
mens were not available for comparison in the National 
Collection. 
In concluding, I must tender my cordial thanks to 
Sir George Hampson, Bart., for much valuable aid given 
‘in the identification of species and for the facilities so 
kindly placed at my disposal, and also to Mr. Richard 
South for continual assistance given during the prepara- 
tion of the paper.
