of Lepidoptera Heterocera from Japan. 293 
darker in upper portion, traversed by a pale line which is bidentate 
about the middle; fringes of the ground-colour chequered with 
darker and preceded by a blackish line. Underside whitish tinged 
with buff ; forewings have a dusky almost straight postmedial line, 
this is slightly angulated on the costa where it is preceded by a 
dusky cloud. 
Expanse 52 mm. 
Male type from Yoshino, Yamato, June, 1899. 
A series of twenty-three male specimens from Yoshino, 
Yamato, taken in June and August, 1895, 1899, 1909, 
1901. I have never captured a female specimen. Differs 
from J. trepida, its nearest ally, in the darker colour and 
denser scaling. Motschulsky records NV. trepida from 
Japan, so that possibly the species now described may 
be identical with the one he identified as trepida (vide 
Leech “On the Lepidoptera of Japan and Corea,” P.Z.S., 
1881, p. 654). Specimens in the series expand from 48 to 
54 mm.
