Type, $ (70084) ; ? (70144) Mus. Wlsm. 



Hob. Japan (Pryer, 1886)— Kiusiu {Leech, 1890). Five 

 specimens. 



This species greatly resembles sororculana, Zett., but differs 

 in the more streaky appearance of the basal two-thirds of the 

 fore wings, in the less developed thoracic tuft, and the longer 

 clothing of the median joint of the palpi ; the antennas also 

 are somewhat stouter and the costal geminations are more 

 numerous and more clearly defined.
