cJ ? . Pilifer short, with pale hairs and scales. The biifi' yellow colour of 

 the costal and distal marginal areas of the liiDdwing above distinguish this species 

 from all the others. The anal spots of the hindwing are large and merged together 

 to an 8-sha]ied mark, very rarely separated. 



S. Tenth tergite as narrow in middle as in am/joi/i/ci/s, mesial sinns deep and 

 very narrow, the lobes ladle-shaped, not notched ; lobe of sternite nearly as iu 

 PI. XXVI. f. 9, the narrowed apical ])art longer, pointed, curved upwards. Dorso- 

 apical lobe of clasjier not always sharply pointed, shorter than in d)/ras, more 

 resembling that of quercus ; harpe stout distally, denticulate ; processes above 

 penis-sheath short, acute, prismatical, granulosa. 



9. Proximal part of vaginal plate transverse, rounded pro.ximally and laterally, 

 the edges projecting, sides raised into a short cone, edge in front of vaginal urifice 

 trnncate, feebly undulate. 



Larva not sufficiently described ; all green. — Food-plant : Tilia cordabt. 



(jhrysalis not described. 



Ihih. East Siberia : Ussuri ; Wladiwostock ; according to Bartel also Trans- 

 baikalia. 



Two broods, the second doubtless irregular. 



Why do Staudinger & Rebel (juery the occurrence in the Amur country ? 



Bremer says that this species has some resemblance to indicusi according to 

 Walker's description ; Bartel also states that it resembles iiidiciis somewhat in 

 pattern. This is t|uite correct, inasmuch as all the species of Maruiulja are similar 

 ill pattern ; there is, however, no special resemblance whatever between indirus 

 and iiuuu-ki. The latter comes nearest to qitevctiH ivaA JKttkotr.ikii.

(??. Pilifer short, with a dense brush of hair-scales, the two processes close 



together ; tongue without fringe, sometimes reduced to two tubercles. Seriated 



ciliae of tin- ? -antenna as long as the segments. Variable iu the tint of the ground- 



jcolonr, the i S generally loss tawny than the ? ?. Anal spots of hindwing as in
