the much-indented inner aud elbowed and angulated outer transverse 
lines approximate before reaching the inner margin ; submarginal 
line pale, edged internally with darker and preceded by two cuneiform

Five specimens, coll. Pryer. 
A specimen in National Collection, labelled Alysia grisea, Butl., 
from Japan, is probably referable to this species, but the example 
is in such poor condition that it is not possible to come to any 
satisfactory conclusion ou this point.
