84 On new Species of Heterocera from Japan. 
pattern of the former, but the deeper coloration of the latter ; 
it is, however, darker and more glossy than either, and the 
dark marginal spots of the primaries have a dull lilacine gloss; 
on the under surface the wings are not suffused with rose- 
colour as in X. hepatica, and the fringes are grey (dark in 
primaries), spotted with ochraceous nearly as in X. rurea. 
Expanse 1 inch 9 lines. 
Yokohama (Jonas). 
This species is also closely allied to X. flavistigma of 
Moore. The Mamestra dubitans of Walker, which I believe 
to be the dark form of Xylophasia lignicolor, bears a close 
resemblance to the X. combusta type of the above species ; 
we have this variety both trom Yokohama and Hakodaté. 
Mamestra opposita is the dark form of a Ceylonese species. 
78. Apamea conciliata, n. sp. 
Intermediate in colouring and pattern between A. connexa 
and A. gemina, with the form and general coloration of the 
latter, but with the irregular transverse band identical in shape 
with that of A. connexa, although much further from the outer 
margin and less oblique, the lower half of the band limited 
externally by an oblique white line, and followed by a whitish 
diffusion ; apical area as in A. gemina, but without the pale 
spot at apex; secondaries as in A. connexa: wings below as 
in A. gemina, but darker, and with the dusky stripe across the 
secondaries nearer to the middle of the wing broadly convex 
(not 3-shaped) ; no dark spot at the end of the cell. Hxpanse 
1 inch 6 lines. 
Yokohama (Jonas). 
The Xylophasia indocilis of Walker is the paler form of 
A. gemina; X. libera is identical with Apamea finitima, a 
species near A, connexa. 
79. Miana vulnerata, n. sp. 
Primaries greyish black, with the discal area brown; 
crossed by two very irregular black lines, widest apart on the 
costa and nearest just below the cell; two black >-shaped 
markings at the base; orbicular and reniform spots pale 
brown, enclosing an oval grey annulus and margined with 
black ; an N-shaped band, testaceous, speckled with carmine, 
on the disk just outside the external black line ; indications of a 
submarginal grey streak; a marginal series of black lituree ; 
fringe grey, intersected by a testaceous line; secondaries pale 
brown, with a marginal black line ; fringe whitish, with a cen- 
tral grey line; body above greyish brown, abdomen whitish
