a reduplicated shade-line running through them. Abdomen

Tijpe, S (60364) Mus. Wlsm. 



Hab. COKEA — Gensan, VI. 1886 (Leech). Unique. 



In appearance this species is intermediate between llysle- 

 rosia amavdana, H.-S., which has a white thorax and a costal 

 fold, and Fhtheochroa puhillana, H.-S., which has a black 

 thorax and no costal fold ; except by its black thorax, it 

 is also undistinguishable from the Japanese albiscutellum, 

 "Wlsm., of which unfortunately the male is not known, but 

 this is a much larger species than amandana.
