228 Mr. J. H. Leech on Lepidoptera Heterocera 



Prioma rosearia. 

 Prionia rosearia, Leech, Entom., Suppl. p. 56 (May 1891). 



I obtained six specimens, including both sexes, in the 

 Snowy valley, Ningpo, April. 



The first of the central lines is not always clearly defined 

 in some specimens. 



There is an un-named example of this species, labelled 

 " Chekiang," in the National Collection. 



Hal. North China. 



Genus HETEROLOCHA. 



(Led. Verb, zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, iii. p. 207 (1853) ; Hampson, 

 Fauna Brit. Ind., Moths, iii. p. 179 (1895).) 



Heterolocha falconaria. 



Aspilates falconaria, Walk. Cat. Lep. Het., Suppl. v. p. 1665 (1866). 

 Heterolocha falconaria, Hampson, Fauna Brit. Ind.. Moths, iii. p. 179 

 (1895). 



Two male specimens from Pu-tsu-fong and one female 

 from Che-tou, July. 



Distribution. N.W. Himalayas, Sikhim, Punjab (Hamp- 

 son) ; Western China. 



Heterolocha latifasciaria, sp. n. 



Closely allied to H. subroseata, but the outer margin of 

 secondaries is rounder in contour. The oblique band of 

 primaries is marked towards costa with dusky spots, as in 

 H. falconaria, Walk., but there is no apical spot as in 

 H. apiciaria, and the band of secondaries is broader and 

 more distinctly purple towards abdominal margin. The 

 markings on under surface are purplish, with a slight grey 

 tinge. 



Expanse 32-34 millim. 



Two male specimens from Ichang and one female from 

 Chang-yang, June and July. 



Hab. Central China. 

 < 



Heterolocha subroseata. 



Heterolocha subroseata, Warren, Novit. Zool. i. p. 449 (1894). 



A long series from Chang-yang, Moupin, Omei-shan, and 

 the Province of Kwei-chow, June and July. 



In some specimens the upper surface is more or less irro- 

 rated with fuscous, especially on the outer marginal area.
