The black markings of the Japanese specimens are larger 

 and more confluent than in Chinese examples.

Dilophodes conspicuaria, sp. n. 



White, marked with black. Primaries spotted on basal 

 area; central fascia interrupted, broadest on costa; outer 

 marginal area banded with black ; this band, which is 

 narrowest in the middle, is intersected with white or whitish 

 along the neuration and traversed by a white line ; between 

 the central fascia and marginal band is a spot on costa, some- 

 times united with the former. Secondaries have a spot at 

 the base and one between it and the discal spot ; there is 

 also a spot on the middle of abdominal margin ; outer mar- 

 ginal area as on primaries. Fringes of primaries black, 

 tending to grey towards the inner angle ; those of secondaries 

 are pale grey. Under surface similar to the upperside, but 

 there is a broad black dash along the costa of secondaries 

 extending from basal spot to outer marginal band. Head 

 and thorax ochreous, the latter spotted above with black and 

 the patagia marked with whitish ; abdomen white, dorsally 

 marked with black, and the terminal segment with a tuft of 

 long silky grey hairs. 



Expanse <? 58-64, 2 52-60 millim. 



There were two male specimens and four females fronj Gifu 

 in Fryer's collection. I have also received two males from

 miles north-west of Ichang in July; in one of these the line 

 traversing the outer marginal border is obsolete.
