458 Mr. J. H. Leech on Lepidoptera Heterocera 



I have a specimen from Moupin which is almost exactly 

 identical with Oborthiir's figure. 



Distribution. Sikhim ; Ndgas; Penang (Hampson] ; Corea ; 

 Central and Western China. 



Obeidia gigantearia, sp. n. 



Male. Yellow, central area of all the wings white ; basal, 

 costal, and marginal areas heavily spotted with black. All 

 the wings have a black irregular fascia and a diffuse submar- 

 ginal band : there is also a more or less complete subbasal 

 band on the secondaries. Fringes yellow, chequered with 

 black. Under surface as above. 



Female. Similar to the male, but the central fascia and 

 submarginal band on all the wings are broken up into spots, 

 as also is the subbasal band on secondaries. 



Expanse 86-92 millim. 



A large number of specimens from the province of Kwei- 

 chow and from Omei-shan and Moupin, also one example 

 from Chang-yang : June and July. 



Hab. Central and Western China. 



Obeidia conspurcata, sp. n. 



Male. Yellow, central area of all the wings white ; basal, 

 costal, and marginal areas spotted with blackish ; all the 

 wings have a broad central fascia and an ill-defined submar- 

 ginal band, the former composed of large blackish spots and 

 the latter of smaller spots. Fringes yellow, chequered with 

 blackish. Under surface as above. 



female. Similar to the male, but the wings are rather 

 more ample and the spots forming the central fascia are 

 smaller and more scattered. 



Expanse 70-72 millim. 



A long series from Chang-yang, also several specimens 

 from Omei-shan, Moupin, and Kwei-chow : July. 



Hab. Central and Western China. 



This species is very like 0. gigantearia, but it is smaller 

 and the maculation is not so black or so heavy, and the bands 

 are never so well defined. 



Obeidia (?) Largeteaui. 



Rhyparia Largeteaui , Oberth. Etud. d'Entom. x. p. 32, pi. i. fie;, 5 

 (1884). 



Appears to be common at Ichang, Chang-yang, and Omei- 

 shan. I also received one specimen from Chia-ting-fu : June 

 and July. 



Hab. Central and Western China.
