from China, Japan, and Corea. 655 



The Kiushiii specimens are smaller than the type and 

 paler in colour. 



Cidaria hortulanaria^ Grasser, from Amurland, appears to 

 be very near to, if it is not identical with, this species. 



Cidaria ahraxina. 



Melanippe ahraxina, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist, (5) iv. p. 443 

 (1879).

 in the series, is without the central band on each wing, but

Cidaria fuscaria, sp. n. 



Fuscous grey. Primaries have a darker basal patch, its

 Epifidonia, Butl., appears, according to the figure, to agree 

 better with Cidaria. 



Genus Larentia.
