Three specimens from Yesso in Fryer's collection. 



I obtained several examples at Hakodate in August, and 

 my collectors found the species at several localities in 

 Western China in July. 



The Chinese specimens are rather larger than the Japanese 

 examples, and they have a white edging to the costal portion 

 of the outer line of primaries. 



Distribution. Amur ; Japan ; Yesso ; Western China.

 Meyrick (Trans. Ent. Soc. 1892, p. 70). 



Scotosia multilinear ia, sp. n. 



Male. Primaries dark grey, traversed by numerous fuli- 

 ginous wavy lines ; the central area is rather darker and its 

 outer edge is sometimes marked by a white macular line ; 

 outer marginal fourth fuliginous, traversed by a macular 

 white line, but this is not distinct throughout. Secondaries 

 fuliginous, with indications of a pale submarginal line. 

 Under surface fuliginous, with a black discal dot on each 

 wing. 



Female. Similar to the male, but the central area is not 

 darker ; sometimes there is a pale patch about the middle of 

 the costa enclosing a dark cloud.

 surface pale grey, with the transverse lines of upper surface 

 faintly reproduced.
