572 On Lepidoptera Heterocera from China &c. 



Japanese examples are larger but do not otherwise differ 

 from European specimens, 



D{strihut{on.YAUXQ\)e; E. Siberia; Amur; Japan; Yesso. 



Pltmyria castan'a, sp. n. 



Primaries creamy white ; basal half traversed bj three 

 black wavy lines commencing as spots on the costa ; outer 

 margin bordered with black, but before this there is a black 

 dash on costa from which a double black sinuous line pro- 

 ceeds to inner margin, a black cloud about the middle of this 

 line unites it with the border ; discal spot black. Secondaries 

 white, a narrow black band on outer margin shaded inwardly 

 with grey. Fringes : of primaries black with some pale dots 

 at their base ; of secondaries dark grey, becoming white 

 towards outer angle and on outer margin, spotted as on pri- 

 maries. Under surface very similar to above, but the 

 secondaries have a black discal spot and indications of a 

 central band ; the subniarginal band is clearer and there is 

 no cloud connecting it with the marginal border. Antennae 

 serrated in the male. 



Expanse 28 millim. 



Six male specimens from Moupin, Ni-tou, Pu-tsu-fong : 

 July. 



Hah. Western China. 



Plemyria kezonmetari'a. 



Melanippe kezonmetaria, Oberth. Etud. d'Entom. xviii. p, 38, pi, ir. 

 fig. 48 (1893). 



I received a nice series from Ta-chien-lu and one male 

 specimen from Wa-ssu-kow, taken by my native collectors 

 in May and June. 



llah. Western China. 



The antennas of the male are shortly bipectinate; apex 

 simple. Perhaps this species would be more properly placed 

 in AsaphodeSy Meyr. 



Plemyria ouanguemetarin. 



Melanippe ovangitemetaria, Oberth. Etud. d'Entom. xviii. p. 38, pi. iv, 

 fip. 52 (1893). 



M}' collectors met with this species at Ta-chien-Iu and 

 Wa-ssu-kow, and at llow-kow : June and July, 

 Hah. Western China and Thibet, 

 Antennae in the male bipectinated ; apex simple.
