A nice series from Ohoyama, Nikko, and Yesso in Fryer's 

 collection. I obtained the species at Hakodate in August. 



Distribution. Eastern Siberia; Amur; Japan; Yesso. 



Japanese specimens are larger than the Amurland examples 

 in my collection. 



G andaritis flavomacularia, sp. n. 

 Allied to G. Fixseni. 



Male. Fuliginous. Primaries traversed by several fine 

 wavy and angulated lines ; these are whitish or yellowish in 

 colour and only distinct on costal and inner margins ; there 

 are indications of two whitish bands on the median area, the 

 first represented by an angular dash on costal area, a sagitta 

 mark on the middle, and a small spot on inner margin, the 

 second by a slightly waved dash on costal area and a small 

 double spot on first submedian nervule ; submarginal band 

 formed of whitish spots and the marginal band of yellow 

 ones ; all these whitish lines and bands are tinged with 

 yellow on the costa. Secondaries have the abdominal area 

 suffused with smoky grey and the outer angle yellow ; sub- 

 marginal arid marginal bands composed of yellow spots, the 

 former preceded on costal area by a yellow crescent-shaped 

 mark, representing a central band. A blackish discal spot on 

 all the wings. Fringes fuliginous, those of secondaries 

 yellow at outer margin and opposite each marginal spot. 

 Under surface yellowish : primaries clouded with brownish on 

 basal and outer marginal areas ; central double line brownish, 

 elbowed above the middle, and connected with an interrupted 

 submarginal band of the same colour by an oblique darker 

 cloud ; a blackish oblique dash extends from apex almost to 

 submarginal band ; secondaries, whitish grey on abdominal 

 area and clouded and suffused with yellowish on outer marginal 

 area; central line and submarginal band as on primaries, but 

 the former is curved and has an angular projection on its 

 inner edge before abdominal margin. 



Female. Similar to the male, but larger ; the white bands 

 on upper surface of the primaries are less interrupted, as also 

 is the central yellow one of secondaries ; the under surface is 

 less yellow and heavily clouded with dusky. 



Expanse, < 60, ? 66 millim. 



One example of each sex from Wa-shan : August. 



Hab. Western China.
