NO. 1412. . SOME JAPANESE LEPIDOPTERA—DYAR. 941 



GURLECA MASURIENSIS Butler, var. SANGAICA Butler. 

 HIME-HOJAKU. 



Food plant: Paederia tomentom. 

 The larva is figured by Nagano/* 



THERETRA JAPONICA de lOrza. 

 KO-SUZUME. 



Food plant: Yiti>i vinlfeni. 



The larva is figured by Nagano/' but the figure does not bring out 

 the subdorsal ring niai'ks on the anterior abdominal segments promi- 

 nently enough. 



THERETRA OLDENLANDI.(E Fabricius. 

 SESUJI-SUZUME. 



Food plant: Coloca-sla (tntlquai'uin. 



The larva is figured by Nagano,'' but the specimens before me are 

 more distinctly marked, with larger, brighter ring marks and more 

 distinct yellow thoracic dots. 



THERETRA NESSUS Drury. 

 SUZUME-GA. 



Food plant: Drcmeorea japonica. 

 The larva is well figured b}^ Nagano. '^ 



PERGESA ELPENOR Linnaeus, var. LEWISI Butler. 

 BENI-SUZUME. 



Food plant: Oenothera Mennis, var. lamarcklana. 



The larva before me is much darker than Nagano's figure,'' being 

 entirel}" black and brown, all the green color obscured. It is the dark 

 form which Nagano describes as the "first form." 



This species is called by Rothschild and Jordan Pergesa elpenoi\ var. 

 lewisi Butler, and they give Japan and China as localities, I can, how- 

 ever, hardly separate it from a specimen of rivularls Boisduval 

 {^fmterna Butler) from Sikkim, and I think the species is a race of 

 rividaris rather than elpenoi\ if these names really represent distinct 

 species.
