Allied to Upicopeia mencia, Moore, P. Z. S. 1874, p. 578, pi, Ixvii. 

 fig. 8, from which it differs in having only one row of crimson spots 

 on secondaries, no crimson marks on thorax, and less crimson on 

 the abdomen ; it has also differently shaped secondaries, shorter tails, 

 and is a much smaller insect. 



155. ElCYSMA TRANSLUCIDA. 



Elcysma translucida, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1881, p. 4. 



Three examples coll. Pryer, and one taken by a native collector 

 at Gensan in August. 



Chalcosia caudata, Brem., is very closelly allied, but appears to 

 have shorter tails and the neuration is somewhat different.

Psychostrophia melanargia, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (4) 

 XX. p. 401 (1877) ; 111. Typ. Lap. Het. pt. ii. p. 9, p!. xxiii. fig. 7 

 (1878). 



I took examples in July at Tsuruga. Pryer says that the species 

 is an active day- flier.

Pterodecta gluriosa, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (4)xx. p. 399 

 (1877); 111. typ. Lep. Het. pt. ii. p. 8, pi. xxiii. fig. 4 (1878). 



Of frequent occurrence in mountainous districts in July. 



Bremer's figure of C'allidula felderi (Lep. Ost-Sib. tab. iv. fig. 3) 

 agrees well with my Japanese specimens of P. gloriosa, but in the 

 description of his insect Bremer says that it has an ochreous yellow 

 fascia, whereas in P. gloriosa the fascia is, according to Butler, 

 " brilliant scarlet." It may be that Bremer's type was a faded 

 specimen.

158. ScBISTOMITRA rUNERALIb. 



Schistomitra funeralis, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1881, p. 4. 



A nice series in Pryer's collection. The broad cream-coloured 

 band on disk of primaries is sometimes completely divided by the 

 black ground-colour into two spots, the smaller one nearest the costa 

 being nearly round, and the larger one cuneiform. The initial spot 

 of submarginal series is sometimes absent altogether.

A long series, most of the specimens taken by myself at Gensan, 

 July 1884. Mr. Butler gives the measurement of this species as
