Proteostrenia pica, sp. n. (Plate XXX, fig. 18.) 
Q. Forewings have the basal two-thirds blackish with two 
whitish spots at the base and two about the middle of the costa ; 
outer third whitish, the neuration blackish; submarginal line 
blackish, connected with the basal two-thirds by a blackish dash 
between veins 3 and 4, Hindwings have the basal half blackish 
with a white spot in the cell ; outer half white, traversed by two 
blackish curved bands, venation blackish. Fringes blackish marked 
with white on the forewings. Underside as above. 
Expanse 28 mm. 
Female type taken at Omine-San, Yamato, July, 1894. 
This may possibly prove to be the female of the 
following species P. atrata. 
Local distribution. Honpbo. 
Habitat. JAPAN.

Proteostrenia atrata, sp.n. (Plate XXXI, fig. 24). 
¢. Sooty black. Forewings have a white spot at apex and a

traces of a pale postmedial line from the white dash extending to the 
inner margin and bent inwards below the cell; discal dot black. 
Fringes slightly paler. Underside as above. 
Expanse 32 mm. 
Male type from lida-San, Higo, May, 1894. A series of 
eleven male specimens taken in May, July, and August, 
1894, at Omine-San and Obamine-San, in the province of 
Yamato, and at lida-San, Higo. Nine of the specimens 
were taken on July 21 and 22, 1894, at Omine-San, the 
remaining two at Obamine-San and Jida-San in May 
and August, 1894. I am inclined to think that the 
preceding insect already described by me as Proteostrenia 
pica will prove to be the female of Proteostrenia atrata. 
The female type of P. pica was taken at Omine-San, 
where the majority of the males of P. atrata were cap- 
tured, and it is the only specimen I possess, A similar
