208 Mr. J. H. Leech on Lepidoptera Heterocera 



One male specimen from Chang-yang, July. 

 Hob. Central China. 



This species is very similar to P. syringaria, Linn., in 

 colour and approaches the Japanese P. distans, Warren. 



Pericallia productaria, sp. n. 



Light brown, striated and clouded with darker. Primaries 

 have a brownish subbasal line elbowed below costa and a 

 central brown fascia, the outer edge of the latter is blackish 

 and has an obtuse projection extending to the indistinct pale 

 submarginal line ; costa and outer margin with paler patches 

 tinged with lilacine. Secondaries have a central fascia 

 which appears to be a continuation of that on primaries, but 

 the projection on outer edge is less pronounced and there 

 are two indentations below it. All the wings have a black 

 discal spot, that on primaries rather linear. Fringes crenu- 

 late, brown marked with paler, and preceded by a brown line. 

 Under surface ochreous, striated with reddish brown ; all the 

 wings have a blackish discal spot and a purplish-brown cen- 

 tral line, the latter, on secondaries, is bordered with purplish 

 towards abdominal margin ; there is a dusky transverse 

 shade on primaries from costa to median nervure. Vertex 

 of head whitish. 



Expanse 36 millim. 



One male specimen from Wa-shan, May. 



Hob. Western China. 



Allied to P. albifronsj Moore. 



Pericallia olivaria, sp. n. 



Pale brown, striated and suffused with olivaceous ; be- 

 yond the black discal spot there is an olive band crossing all 

 the wings, the inner edge of this band is diffuse and 

 the exterior elbowed below costa of primaries and obtusely 

 angled on secondaries ; there are indications of a pale wavy 

 submarginal line on each wing intersecting an olivaceous 

 cloud towards the inner and anal angles respectively ; the 

 apex of primaries and outer angle of secondaries are also 

 clouded with olivaceous ; secondaries have a blackish discal 

 spot and there is a dark olive spot in the middle of submar- 

 ginal line and a curved one at the costal end of the same 

 line. Under surface yellow, powdered with reddish on inner 

 area of primaries ; outer marginal area of all the wings 

 brownish, clouded with yellow towards apex and outer angle, 

 and with greyish white towards inner and anal angles, the 

 limiting line is dark brown edged outwardly with whitish.
