There were two male specimens from Olwake in Fryer's 

 collection. 



The Japanese form of this species differs from the 

 European type in being larger and having a pale grey- 

 brown coloration ; the transverse lines are identical in 

 number and form, but the space between the two central 

 angulated lines is not darker. On the under surface tlie 

 difference of colour is not so pronounced and the markings 

 are typical. 



Expanse 40 millim. 



Distribution. Europe ; Armenia ; Japan. 



Scotosia dubitata. 



Phal. Gtomctra dubitata, Linn. Syst. Nat. i. 2, p. 8G6 ; Clerck, Icon.

Some specimens from Yesso in Fryer's collection. 



I have received several examples from Chang-yang and 

 the province of Kwei-chow : June. 



Distribution. Europe; Japan; Central and Western Cliina. 



Both Japanese and Chinese examples of this species are 

 paler and less distinctly marked, agreeing more nearly with 

 var. cine.reata, Steph., tlian with the type. 



S. [Thriphosa] Oherthilri^ Hedeni., from Amurland (Horje 

 Soc. Ent. Ross. xvi. p. 248 bis), is probably a form of this 

 species.
