from China, Japan, and Corea. 309> 



is elbowed, by a rufous patch, and has a series of blackish 

 marks, intersected by a thin white line, on its outer edge 

 between the inner margin and the third median nervule ; 

 there is a brownish cloud below apex. Secondaries have 

 two brown lines ; the first is oblique, the second double, 

 curved, slightly wavy, and enclosing a pale line ; there are 

 a series of black specks indicating a submarginal line, and 

 the discal spot is black. Fringes pale at their base, darker 

 outwardly, and preceded by a brown line. Under surface 

 whitish, freckled with brownish, and tinged with ochreons on 

 costa of both wings ; brown transverse lines, except the first 

 of primaries, which is absent, darker and broader than above; 

 the outer one on each wing is followed by an outwardly 

 diffuse band, which does not reach the inner margin in either 

 case, and there are no black marks on that of primaries ; the 

 apical area beyond the outer line is brown, tipped with 

 whitish ; discal spot black.

There was a tine series from Central Japan in Fryer's 

 collection. I met with the species at Nagasaki in May and 

 at Gensan in June. It also occurs in Central and Western 

 China in June and July. 



Distribution. Japan ; Kiushiu ; Corea ; Central and 

 Western China.

There were a few specimens in Fryer's collection. I cap- 

 tured the species at Tsuruga in July and at Hakodate in 

 August. 



This species seems far more closely allied to M. alternata 

 than to M. notata, with which latter Hedemann compares his 

 graphata. I am inclined to think that it may be a local 

 form of the first-named, which occurs in Amurland. 



Distribution. N.China; Japan; Yesso; Amur.
