326 Mr. J. II. Leech on Lepidoptera Tleterocera 



A few specimens from Ohoyama, Oiwake, and Fujisan in 

 Fryer's collection. 



Mr. Smith took one example at Hakone in August, and my 

 collectors one at Moupin in July. 



The Chinese specimen differs from Japanese examples in 

 the much fainter colour of the yellow markings. 



Distribution. Japan and Western China. 



Genus XANDRAMES. 



(Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1867, p. 634.) 



Xandrames sericea. 



Xandrames sericea, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1881, p. 409. 

 Xandrames latiferaria, Hampson, Fauna Brit. Ind., Moths, iii. p. 250 

 (1895). 



Several specimens from Fujisan and Nikko, confounded 

 with X. latiferaria, in Fryer's collection. 



My native collector captured some specimens at Hakodate 

 in June or July. I have also received the species from 

 Chang-yang, Moupin, Chia-ting-fu, and Ta-chien-lu : June 

 and July. 



I cannot agree with Hampson in regarding X. sericea, Butl., 

 as synonymous with X. latiferaria, Walk. The two insects 

 appear to me to be very distinct, especially as regards the 

 markings of secondaries. Hampson's figure represents 

 X. sericea, and not X. latiferaria the latter is well figured 

 by Butler (111. Typ. Lep. Het. iii. pi. xlix. fig. 11). 



Distribution. Japan ; Yesso ; Central and Western China, 



Xandrames latiferaria. 



Pachyodes? latiferaria, Walk. Cat. Lep. Het. xxi. p. 445 (1860). 

 Elphos latiferaria, Butl. 111. Typ. Lep. Het. iii. p. 36, pi. xlix. fig. 11 

 (1879). 



One male specimen from Oiwake in Fryer's collection. 



I captured a male at Hakodate in August, and I have 

 specimens from Omei-shan, where they were taken in July 

 and August, and others from Kiukiang. 



Distribution. Japan ; Yesso ; Central and Western China. 



Xandrames xanthomelanaria. 



Xandrames xanthomelanaria, Pouj. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1895, p. 309, 

 pi. vi. fig. 6. 



Foujade records a male specimen from Moupin. I have an 

 example of the same sex from Omei-shan, and one from 

 Chia-kou-ho, taken in July. 



Hob. Western China.
