1889.] LEPIDOPTERA OF JAPAN AND COREA. 485 



48. GoRTYNA EDENTATA, sp. n. (Plate LI. fig. 9.) 



2 • Primaries ochreous brown ; inner line oblique, brown, bordered 

 externally with paler ; a darker transverse central shade followed by 

 a pale-bordered red-brown line ; submarginal line pale, undulating, 

 preceded on the costa by a dark cloud ; the stigmata are outlined 

 with pale colour, but ill defined : secondaries pale ochreous, the 

 inner half suffused vvith fuscous; central spot and curved tiansverse 

 line fuscous; a thin brownish line at base of fringes. Under surface 

 pale shining ochreous brown, all the wings traversed by a brown 

 transverse line, fringes of primaries darker. 



Expanse 38-42 millim. 



One 2 example, coll. Pryer, without exact locality. 



I took a specimen at Oiwake in October 1886. 



Allied to G. emarginata, Butl., but at once distinguished by its 

 different colour and curvature of outer line of primaries. The outer 

 margins are something similar in contour to those of G. emarginata, 

 but they are not toothed.

 (1878) ; 111. Typ. Lep. Het. ii. pi. xxviii. fig. 9 (1878). 



A few examples, coll. Pryer. 



I took specimens at Hakodate in August and Oiwake in September. 



Most of the Japanese specimens {O. fortis, Butl.) have the 

 secondaries darker than typical O. ochracea, but they do not other- 

 wise differ from European examples of this species iu any important 

 particular.

One unnamed example, coll. Pryer. 



I took a long series at Gensan in June 1886, and my native col- 

 lector obtained a few at Hakodate in June or July ofthe following year. 

 Both forms of the species are well represented, and there are modi- 

 fications of each ; one o^ leucostigma form is the Cerastis Icevis, Butl.
