326 Mr. J. II. Leech on Lepidoptera Ileterocera 



A few specimens from Oliojama, Oiwake, and Fiijisan in 

 Fryer's collection. 



Mr. Smith took one example at Hakone in August, and my 

 collectors one at Moupin in July. 



The Chinese specimen differs from Japanese examples in 

 the much fainter colour of the yellow markings. 



Distribution. Japan and Western (31iina. 



Genus Xandrames. 



(Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lend. 1807, p. 034.) 



Xandrames sericea.

 Xandrames hitifcrnria, Ilampsou, Fauna Brit. Ind., ^Nloths, iii. p. 250 

 (1895). 



Several specimens from Fujisan and Nikko, confounded 

 with X. Jatiferaria^ in Fryer's collection. 



My native collector caj)tured some specimens at Hakodate 

 in June or July. I have also received the species from 

 Chang-yang, Moupin, Chia-ting-fu, and Ta-chien-lu : June 

 and July. 



I cannot agree with Ilampson in regarding X. sericea, But!., 

 as synonymous with X. latiferaria, Walk. Tlie two insects 

 appear to me to be very distinct, especially as regards the 

 markings of secondaries. llampson's figure represents 

 X. sericea, and not A^ latiferaria ; the latter is well figured 

 by Butler (111. Typ. Lep. Het. iii. pi. xlix. fig. 11). 



Distribution. Japan ; Ycsso ; Central and Western China. 



Xandrames latiferaria. 



Pac/ii/odes? latiferaria, Walk. Cat. Lep. Ilet. xxi. p. 44o (1800).

I captured a male at Hakodate in August, and I have

 and August, and others from Kiukiang.
