but it is a much brighter-looking insect, and is further dis- 

 tinguished by the conspicuous white blotch on outer margin, 

 together with the different contour of the central fascia. 



Cidaria chimaJcaleparia. 



Larentia chimakaleparia, Oberth. Etud. d'Entoin. xviii. p. 37, pi. iii. 

 fig. 33 (1893). 



One specimen from Pu-tsu-fong, taken in June. Ober- 

 thiir's type was from Ta-chien-lu. 

 Hob. Western China, 



Cidaria ochracearia, sp. n. 



Closely allied to C. fulvata, Forst., but at once distin- 

 guished by its ochraceous secondaries, which have the fringes 

 chequered with brown. The colour of the primaries is also 

 deeper, and the edges of the central fascia, although angled 

 outwardly and indented inwardly as in C. fulvata, are not 

 waved. The under surface is entirely ochraceous, with 

 slightly darker central markings on all the wings. 



Expanse 26-29 millim. 



Several specimens from Ta-chien-lu, Moupin, and Ornei- 

 shan : June and July. 



Hab. Western China. 



Fulvata, Forst., is placed by Meyrick in Hydriomenaj Hubn. 

 (Trans. Ent. Soc. 1892, p. 72).

 Melanthia casta, Butl. 111. Typ. Lep. Het. iii. pi. liv. fig. 8. 



There were specimens from Oiwake and Yesso in Fryer's 

 collection, and my native collector captured the species at 

 Hakodate in July. 



Distribution. Europe; Altai; Amur; Japan; Yesso. 



Except that they are generally rather larger, there is no 

 important difference between Japanese examples ( casta, 

 Butl.) and European specimens of this species. The discal 

 spots are a trifle larger, and the marginal border of secondaries 

 is uninterrupted.
