230 Mr. J. H. Leech on Lepidoptera Heterocera 



Heterolocha fuscofasciaria, sp. n. 



Whitish, irrorated with fuscous. Costal area of primaries 

 suffused with brownish, and tlie basal area with fuscous grey ; 

 annular discal spot and oblique band fuscous grey, the latter 

 commencing before the apex. Secondaries have a fuscous- 

 grey central band. Fringes agree in colour with the bands. 

 Under surface similar to above. 



Expanse 26 millim. 



One male specimen from Ichang, April. 



Hah. Central China. 



Nearly allied to H. notata. 



Heterolocha aristonaria. 



Hyperythra (?) aristonaria, Walk. Cat. Lep. Het xx. p. 130 (1860). 

 Jli/perythra niphonica, Butl. 111. Typ. Lep. Het. ii. p. 46, pi. xxxv. 



■fig. 2 (1878). 



There was a nice series of both forms in Fryer's collection. 

 I have also received examples of the typical form from 

 Ichang and Chang-yang, and from the Province of Kwei- 

 chow. 



At Nagasaki I took the species in May, and afterwards 

 met with it at Gensan in June, at Tsuruga in July, and at 

 Hakodate in August. 



This species is closely allied to, if it is not identical with, 

 //. laminaria, Ilerr.-Sch., from Armenia. 



Niphonica, Butl., cannot be specifically separated from 

 aristotiaria, Walk. Some of the specimens from Japan have 

 the yellow colour of aristonaria, but the outer portion of all 

 the wings, beyond the second line, is grey, as in niphonica ; 

 in other examples the marginal area is purplish red. 



The males vary in size from 20 to 35 millim. 



Distribution. Japati ; Yesso ; Corea; North, Western, and 

 Central China. 



Heterolocha rosearia, ap. n. 



Yellow. Primaries pale pinkish on basal area, there is a 

 tapered band of the same colour on the lower portion of 

 outer marginal area; the costa is finely dotted and marked 

 with black, and there is a pinkish apical spot edged 

 inwardly with blackish. Secondaries have an ill-defined 

 pale pinkish subbasal band, and the outer margin is broadly 

 bordered with pale pinkish, except at outer angle; both this 

 and the band on primaries inwardly edged with dusky.
