 blackish spots beyond the middle, the third and fifth larger

 but the primaries are suffused with fuscous and the second-

 the costa and outer margins.

Crocota (?) geholaria. 



Aspilates geholaria, Oberth. Etud. d'Entom. vi. p. 18. pi. ix. fig. 3 

 (1881). 



I am unacquainted with this species, but, judging from the 

 figure, which represents a female, it does not appear to be 

 rightly placed in Aspilates, Treit.,= Crocota, Hiibn. 



Oberthur records it from the Ge'hol Mountains and also 

 from the mountains to the north of Pekin.

 Aspilates violentana, Christ. Bull. Mosc. Iv. (2) p. 82 (1881). 



There were specimens of the typical form from Yokohama 

 and Gifu in Pryer's collection. 



Var. punctaria. 



In both sexes of this form the transverse band of primaries 

 is replaced by an oblique series of dots on the neuration. The 

 ground-colour of the male is browner, and the primaries of the 

 female are thickly dusted with blackish. 



There were examples of this form in Pryer's collection, one 

 of which was from Gifu. 



Distribution. Japan; Amur.
