from China } Japan, and Corea. 665 



my native collector met with the species in the island of 

 Kiushiu. Two specimens, which appear to be referable to this 

 species, were received from Pu-tsu-fong and Che-tou; they 

 were taken in July. 



In the Japanese specimens the central band of primaries is 

 rather broader than in European examples, and the space 

 between this band and the basal patch is deeply suffused 

 with fuliginous. 



Distribution. Europe; Japan; Yesso; Kiushiu; Western 

 China. 



Larentia punctih'nearia, sp. n. 



Primaries greyish brown; basal patch dark brown, becoming 

 blackish on its outer edge, which is slightly dentate ; median 

 band dark brown, its inner edge bordered by a dentate 

 whitish line, and dotted with black on the nervules, its 

 outer edge diffuse ; beyond the middle there is a whitish line 

 dotted with black on the nervules, and this appears to be the 

 outer limit of the median band ; submedian band brown, with 

 ray-like projections in the direction of the fringes, these pro- 

 jections are traversed by a whitish line, and the band is 

 interrupted about the middle by a pale brown patch similar 

 in tint to the space between the basal patch and median band. 

 Secondaries fuscous brown. Fringes pale brown, marked 

 with darker. Under surface brown, with few distinct mark- 

 ings on primaries, but the secondaries have a blackish discai 

 spot and an indented line beyond the middle. 



Expanse 32 millim. 



One female from Japan in Pryer's collection. 



Allied to L. tczniata, Steph. 



Larentia promiscuaria, sp. n. 



Primaries pale greyish brown ; basal patch darker, limited 

 by a slightly indented blackish band ; central fascia broadly 

 blackish, the edges not well defined ; between the fascia and 

 basal patch there is a dusky shade ; submarginal line 

 whitish, wavy, bordered inwardly by an interrupted blackish 

 band ; discai spot black, elongate ; fringes dark grey marked 

 with paler, and preceded by an interrupted blackish line. 

 Secondaries whitish; there is a dusky transverse shade 

 beyond the middle, and the fringes, which are of the ground- 

 colour, are preceded by an interrupted blackish line. Under 

 surface whitish : primaries suffused with fuscous, markings 

 of upper surface faintly indicated ; secondaries powdered
