lection, and I took one example at Gensan in July. Butler's 

 type was from Yokohama and Grseser records it from Rad- 

 defka. 



Distribution. Japan ; Corea ; Amur. 



Butler states that this insect is closly allied to "M." rufi- 

 cillataj but it appears to be nearer to C. cuculata, Hufn., and 

 may possibly be an Eastern Asian form of that species. 



Cidaria obscura.

There was one example in poor condition in Fryer's col- 

 lection. I received a specimen from Mr. Manley taken at 

 Yokohama, and my collectors in Western China took one 

 at Moupin in July. 



Distribution. Japan ; Western China. 



As Moore described a Cidaria obscurata in 1867, it would 

 be better perhaps to rename this species Butleri. 



Cidaria latifasciaria, sp. n. 



Primaries dingy purplish grey ; small basal patch and 

 broad central fascia brown, the former is outwardly limited 

 by two blackish lines enclosing a brown band, and the 

 latter has both edges darker than the median portion, and is 

 limited on each side by a wavy blackish line, the outer one 

 broadest towards costa, and the inner one broadest about the 

 middle ; there is a short blackish apical streak. Secondaries 

 fuscous grey, darker towards outer margin. Fringes dark 

 grey. Under surface fuscous brown ; the secondaries have 

 traces of a darker transverse line beyond the middle.

There was a nice series from Oiwake in Fryer's collection. 



I captured specimens in Satsuma in May, at Gensan in 

 June, and at Tsuruga in August. Other Japanese localities 

 are Yokohama (Jonas) and Hakodate (Whitely). I have
