90 Mr. J. H. Leech on Lepidoptera ffeterocera 



Inurois membranaria. 



Anisopteryx membranaria, Christ. Bull. Mosc. Iv. 2, p. 73 (1881). 

 Erannis membranaria, Meyrick, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1892, p. 81. 



Of this species there was a series from Yokohama in Fryer's 

 collection. It is no. 509 of his catalogue. The male is 

 larger in size and paler in colour than the same sex of 

 /. tenuisj and the discal spot on all the wings is more con- 

 spicuous. 



Distribution. Amur; Japan. 



Genus ANISOPTERYX. 

 (Stephens, 111. Brit. Ent., Haust. iii. p. 151 (1829).) 



Anisopteryx primigena. 



Pkthorarcha primigena, Staud., Meyrick, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1892, 



p. 80. 

 Anisopteryx primigena, Staud. Deutsche entom. Zeitschr., Lep. vii. 



p. 291 (1894). 

 Anisopteryx japonensis, Warren, Novit. Zool. i. p. 374 (1894). 



Two male specimens from Yokohama in Fryer's collection. 



Meyrick, who erected the genus Phthorarcha for the species, 

 finds that primigena differs from the species included in 

 Anisopteryx, Steph. (Erannis, Hiibn., Meyrick), in being 

 destitute of the middle pair of spurs on hind tibiae and in 

 vein 5 of secondaries being wholly absent. In both my 

 specimens the fifth vein of secondaries is distinctly in evidence, 

 but the middle spurs are not present on hind tibia3. 



Distribution. Samarkand; Japan.
