Notodonta monetaria. 
Notodonta monetaria, Oberth. Diagn., p. 12; Etud. d’Ent., 
Vv, p. 62, pl. ii, fig. 6 (1880): Staud., Rom. sur Lép., vi, 
p-. 354; Leech, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1898, p. 310. 
Notodonta oberthiiri, Staud., Rom. sur Lép., vi, p. 354, pl. v, 
fig. 5. 
I have a series of six male and five female specimens of 
N. monetaria taken at Yoshino, Yamato, and Tokyo in the 
months of May, June, July, August and September, 1893, 
1894, 1899, 1900 and 1901. I also have two male speci- 
mens of J. oberthiivi taken at Tobetsu, Oshima, Yezo, in 
July, 1902. These two specimens agree remarkably well 
with Staudinger’s figure (swpra), and on comparing them 
with my series of NV. monetaria, | am inclined to think that 
they are not separable from that species. Oberthiiri seems 
to be a small light form of monetaria with which it can 
be connected by an intergrade in my series. 
Oberthiivi has not hitherto been recorded from Japan. 
Local distribution. HONDO; YEZO. 
General distribution. EK. Stperta (Askold, Amurland, 
Ussuri); JAPAN. 
Collection numbers, 88 and 88a.

Notodonta gigantea. 
Peridea gigantea, Butler, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. (4), xx, 
pp. 474 (1877); Ill. Het. B. M., ii, pl. xxiv, fig. 6 
(1878). 
Notodonta gigantea, Kirby, Cat. Lep. Het., p. 600 (1892) ; 
Leech, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1898, p. 311. 
Allodonta plebeja, Staud. (nec Oberthiir), Rom. sur Lép., vi, 
p. 356 (1892). 
Thirteen specimens from Yoshino, Yamato, June, July, 
August, 1899; Nikko, July, 1893; Tobetsu and Shiokubi, 
Oshima, Yezo, July and August (1902). 
Identified from Staudinger’s figure. 
There is no male of this species in the National 
Collection, only a female from Tokyo. The male is similar
