192 Mr. J. H. Leech on Lepidoptera Heterocera 



aries are without markings, except on the anal half of 

 outer area in one specimen, where there are some fuliginous 

 streaks and shading. 



Expanse 68 millim. 



Two male specimens from Omei-shan, taken in June. 



Hob. Western China. 



Urapteryx ebuleata. 



Urapteryx ebuleata, Guen. Phal. i. p. 32 (1857); Hampson, Fauna 

 Brit. Ind., Moths, iii. p. 145 (1895). 



Occurs in July at Pu-tsu-fong, Omei-shan, Kia-ting-fu, 

 and Wa-shan ; also at Chang-yang, in June and July. 



The specimens, among which are examples of the larger 

 multistrigaria form, appear to differ chiefly from U. sambu- 

 caria, var. persica, in being more heavily striated, and may 

 possibly be only extreme forms of that variety. 



Hampson (Fauna Brit. Ind., Moths, iii. p. 145) considers 

 kantalaria, Feld., mulHstrigcaria. Walk., and Yerburii, Butl., 

 to be synonymous with U. ebuleata. Alphe*raky (Rom. sur 

 Le*p. vi. p. 52) notes one female specimen of U. Yerburii from 

 the province of Szechuen, taken in August. 



Distribution. Central and Western China ; mountains of 

 Northern India. 



Urapteryx similaria, sp. n. (PI. VI. fig. 3.) 



In size and general appearance closely resembles E. maculi- 

 caudarittj Motsch , but the antenna of the male are not pecti- 

 nated, and in both sexes the line on secondaries is straight 

 and the tails rather more prolonged and ornamented with a 

 red and a black spot, the black one being the smaller. In the 

 female the central band on secondaries is interrupted, its 

 lower extremity being represented by a spot. 



Expanse, 50, ? 47 millim. 



Two specimens, a male from Omei-shan and a female from 

 Chang-yang, July. 



Hob. Central and Western China. 



Urapteryx sulpunctaria. (PL VI. fig. 2.) 



Urapteryx subpunctaria, Leech, Entom., Suppl. p. 42 (May 1891). 

 Tristrophis obtusicauda, Warren, Novit. Zool. i. p. 399 (1894). 



Two specimens from Oiwake in Pryer's collection. 



Superficially resembles E. maculicaudaria^ Motsch., but 

 the antennse of the male are not pectinated and the arrange- 

 ment of the lines above and the spot on the secondaries 

 beneath are dissimilar. 



Hob. Japan.
