Crocota (?) geJiolaria. 



Aspilates geholaria, Oberth. Etud. d'Entom. vi. p. 18, pi. ix. fig. 3 

 (1881). 



I am unacquainted with this species, but, judging from the 

 figure, which represents a female, it does not appear to be 

 rightly placed in Aspilates, Treit.,= Crocota, Hiibn. 



Oberthiir records it from the Gehol Mountains and also 

 from the mountains to the north of Pekin.

In both sexes of this form tlie transverse band of primaries

 ground-colour of the male is browner, and the primaries of the 

 female are thickly dusted with bhickish. 



There were examples of this form in Pryer's collection, one 

 of which was from Gifu.
