570 Mr. J. H. Leech on Lepidoptera Heterocera 



collection. My native collector obtained two specimens at 

 Hakodate in June ; these are smaller than any in Fryer's 

 series, and the central white band on secondaries and towards 

 costa of primaries is wider. 

 Hah. Japan and Yesso. 



Phniyria hastata, Linn., chinensis, nov. 



Basal half of all the wings black, traversed by three or 

 four more or less interrupted wavy lines; outer margin 

 broadly bordered with black, intersected by a wavy inter- 

 rupted white line ; intervening space white, intersected by a 

 transverse series of black dots. 



Sometimes the secondaries are free from white markings on 

 the black portions of the wing, and there are very few of 

 such markings on the primaries. 



Expanse 36-38 millim. 



A nice series from Pu-t?u-fong, Ta-chien-lu, Omei-shan : 

 May and June. 



Jrlab. Western China. 



Specimens of P. Iiastata from Araurland, in my collection, 

 agree well with European examples.

 July. All are identical with European specimens.
