Tlie specimens, among which are examples of the larger 

 nnihistrigaria form, appear to differ chiefly from U. sambu- 

 caria, var. persica^ in being more heavily striated, and may 

 possibly be only extreme forms of that variety. 



Hampson (Fauna Brit. Ind., Moths, iii. p. 145) considers 

 Icantalaria^ Feld., rtiultistricjaria^ Walk., and Yerburii^ Butl., 

 to be synonymous with U. ebuleata. Alph^raky ^Rom. sur 

 L^p. vi. p. 52) notes one female specimen of U. Yerburii from 

 the province of Szechuen, taken in August.
