Since 1909 after describing some new species of Notodontidac from Japan 

 in the " Tliousand Fnsects of lapan-Sencliuzukai " Suppl. vol. 1., I ha\-c collect- 

 ed quite a large number of Japanese Notodontidae and described some of them 

 in three parts in the Zoological Magazine, Tokyo" (Dobutsugaku-zasshi), and 

 some of them in my Thousand Insects of Japan, Addit. vol. I\' (192 1 ). From 

 Japan, Saghalien, Corea and Formosa we know till now about 173 species of 

 Notodontidac. Last year Messrs. Toichi Uchida and Ilidezo Takano collect- 

 ed for me a large number of Notodontids moths in Corea, and after studying 

 them thoroughly, I found the following 2 new species, 2 new \-arieties and 2 

 unrecorded species as follows : 



1. Gangarides puerariae Meli var. coreanus n. \'ar. 



2. Coreodonta corcana n. sp. 



3- Hyperaeschra nigricosta n. sp. 



4. W'ilemanus bidentatus Wilem. var. coreanus n. \ar. 



5. Pterostoma griscum Brem. 



6. Dudusa si)hingiformis Moor. 



Further our cabinet is enriched with the following 5 new, one unrecorded 

 species and one new aberration from different parts of Japan and Formosa: — 



1. I)icraniu"a formosana n. .sp. 



2. Gluphisia crenata Esp. ab. infuscata n. ab. Honshiu
