from Ghinay Japan , and Corea. 655 



The Kiusliiu specimens are smaller than the type and 

 paler in colour. 



Cidaria hortulanaria, Grgeser, from Amurland, appears to 

 be very near to, if it is not identical with, this species. 



Cidaria abraxina. 



Melaninpe abraxina. Butl. Ann. & Mag. Neat. Hist. (5) iv. p. 443 

 (1879). 



A series from Nikko and Yesso in Fryer's collection.

Cidaria fuscaria, sp. n. 



Fuscous grey. Primaries have a darker basal patch, its

 Epifidonia, Butl., appears, according to the figure, to agree 

 better with Cidaria. 



Genus LARENTIA. 



(Treit. ; Hampson, Fauna Brit. Ind., Moths, iii. p. 367 (1895).) 

 Larentia plurilinearia, sp. n.
