488 MR. J. H. LEECH ON THE [NoV. 19, 



I have no example oi H.funerea from Europe ; but Dr. Staudinger 

 has identified as that species my Japanese specimens, which are 

 identical with X.sodalis, Butl. There are two forms of this species, 

 one of which resembles typical X. rurea from Europe, but is without 

 any pale markings on inner margin ; the other is thefunerea of Ilein., 

 and is analogous to the var. aZo/jecwrMS, Esp. ( = cowSws^a, Dup.), of 

 X. rurea.
