Lepidoptera from Japan. 355 



This species, though similar in general tint to the allied 

 genus Ingura } is even more like Abrostola in pattern and 

 coloration. 



17. Lophopteryx Pry em, n. sp. 



Near to the " Notodonta " Sieversiiof Mene'tries, but shorter 

 in the wings, with more prominent scale-tooth from the inner 

 margin of the primaries, and with the central belt and discal 

 spots on these wings more sharply denned. Expanse of 

 wings 1 inch 5 lines. 



L. Sieversii is carefully figured ; and therefore, although we 

 do not possess the species, I have no difficulty in charac- 

 terizing the Japanese insect as distinct. 



Drepanulidae. 

 18. Or eta auripes, n. sp. (no. 348). 



? . Allied to 0. calida (111. Lep. Het. pi. xxii. fig. 6), size 

 of the male of that species, and of the same general colour 

 above — laky brown, mottled with grey ; wings crossed by 

 two grey lines, wider apart than in 0. calida, the outer one 

 on primaries incurved and bounded by an ill-defined yellow 

 line which runs to apex ; fringe and margin of secondaries 

 bright ferruginous : body pale whity brown, the metathorax 

 and abdomen slightly rosy ; head and antenna? ochreous ; 

 collar rosy brown. Wings below bright ochraceous, clouded 

 with rosy reddish, reticulated and dotted with lilacine grey ; 

 a curved discal line of the same colour across the primaries : 

 body below creamy yellowish ; anterior legs bright reddish 

 orange ; other legs golden orange. Expanse of wings 1 inch 

 9 line3. 



This species should be placed between 0. calida and 0. 

 pulchripes. Drepamdides palleolus, Motschulsky (no. 345), 

 is a Callidrepana. 



Saturniidae. 

 19. Tropcea aliena, n. sp. (no. 323). 



<? . Wings above pale yellowish green *, white at the base 

 and along the abdominal border of secondaries ; the usual 

 small oval ocelli closing the discoidal cells ; a slightly sinuous 

 yellowish olivaceous discal stripe from costa of primaries to 

 abdominal margin of secondaries ; fringe pale sandy yellow : 

 primaries with a second, irregular, oblique, subbasal, yellowish 



* Probably emerald-green when fresh from the chrysalis, as there are 

 traces of this colour on the underside of the wings.
