338 Mr. J. H. Leech on Lepidoptera Heterocera 



at Nagasaki and in Satsuma in May ; at Nagasaki, Tsuruga, 

 and Gensan in July ; at Hakodate in August. My native 

 collector met with it in the island of Kiushiu. 



I have also received a number of specimens from the 

 various localities visited by my collectors in Central and 

 Western China. 



This species varies considerably in size both in China and 

 Japan. The smallest specimen is only 26 millim. in expanse, 

 whilst the largest measures 58 millim. 



Nikkomsy Butl., is a strongly-marked example of the type 

 form, and although rather larger is not otherwise different 

 in any material respect from specimens I have seen from 

 Scotland. 



Excellens, Butl., is an unusually large form of the species; 

 I have examples of it from Japan and Yesso. 



Distribution. Europe ; Amur ; Corea ; Japan; Central and 

 Western China. N.W. Himalayas ; Sikhim and Khasis 

 (Hampson). 



Tephrosia grisescens. 



Ectropis ffrisescens, Warren, Novit. Zool. i. p. 434 (1894).

Eecorded by Oberthur from T^t-tsien-Lou (Ta-chien-lu) . 

 I received two specimens from Moupin, where they were 

 captured in June. 



Hob. Western China. 



Tephrosia punctularia* 



Geometra punctulata, Hiibn. Geom. fig. 317. 

 Boarmia pvnctulata, Dup. vii. pi. clxiii. fig. 5. 

 Tephrosia punctulata, Guen. Phal. i. p. 269. 



Ectropis punctularia, Meyrick, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1892, p. 104. 

 Tephrosia ignobilis, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (5) i. p. 397 (1878); 

 111. Typ. Lep. Het. iii. p. 35, pi. xlix. fig. 6 (1879). 



There were specimens from Gifu and Yesso in Fryer's 

 collection. 



I obtained the species at Ningpo in April, and at Yokohama 

 and Nagahama in June. 



T. ignobilis, Butl., cannot be specifically separated from 

 T. punctularia. The figure given in ' Illustrations ' is not 

 good. 



Distribution. Europe; Siberia; Amur; Japan; Yesso; 

 North-eastern China.
