Manchuria and the Corea. 115 



Lederert: secondaries with the paler disk crossed by twelve black 

 lines, as in B. Ledereri (not ten, as in B. certhia) : thorax and 

 head deep black, with sandy brownish borders to the collar 

 and tegulas, as in B. conchifera of Northern India ; the abdomen 

 also is blacker than in the immediate allies of the species. 

 Expanse of wings 139 millim. 



Flew on board at 9 p.m., 28th July 1882, Chosan Harbour, 

 Corea ; caught by Dr. Eenshawe. 



This moth has the clumsy rounded wings of B. certhia ; but 

 the markings, with the exception of the pale patches on the 

 central belt of primaries, more nearly agree with those of B. 

 Ledereri. Some lepidopterists have associated the two species, 

 without doubt having had no opportunity of examining the 

 Chinese species, owing to its extreme rarity in collections. 



27. Odonestis lata. 



Amydona lata, Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. vi. p. 1416. n. 6 (1855). 



Vladivostock, 19th August, 1882 (W. W. Perry). 



A single example, much shattered, of the paler variety. 

 The species has a wide range ; it is in the Museum collection 

 from Silhet, Burmah, and Java* 



28. Bpirama jinchuena, sp. n. 



Allied to S. japonica, the male not so black, and conse- 

 quently showing the black lines much more distinctly than 

 in that species ; the central pair of wavy lines on the disk of 

 primaries considerably blacker and almost as sharply defined 

 as those on each side of them ; the submarginal lines on the 

 male secondaries indistinct, but clearly discernible without a 

 lens, whereas in S. japonica they are wholly absent, and in 

 S. simplicior are perfectly black and well defined ; the pale 

 postmedian stripe flesh-coloured instead of whitish in the 

 female, and the central belt preceding it blacker. Wings of 

 male below smoky brown, with three equidist&nt darker stripes 

 across the disk ; primaries with a blackish spot in the cell and 

 an oval blackish annulus at the end of the cell : secondaries 

 with a blackish spot at the end of the cell. Female below 

 bright brick-red, with blackish stripes and spots as in the 

 male ; body of both sexes red below. Expanse of wings 

 58-67 millim. 



Jinchuen, W. Corea (E. B. Levett). 



We also have a male specimen from the province of Che- 

 kiang, China.
