1889. J L.EPIDOPTERA OF JAPAN AND COREA. 495 



I took two specimens at Gensan in July.

98. NocTUA TARDA, sp. u. (Plate L. fig. 4.) 



2 . Primaries purplish brown; a double black basal line, enclosing 

 a paler space, extends only to the submedian nerve, this is followed 

 by a small quadrate black spot on the costa; double inner line black, 

 wavy, and enclosing a pale space, the lower portion clouded inter- 

 nally with blackish ; outer line black, also double and enclosing a 

 pale space ; before the indistinct pale submarginal line is a blackish 

 streak on the costa, clouded internally with blackish ; reniform and 

 orbicular outlined in pale ochreous-brown, with pinkish-brown 

 centres bordered with dark brown, the interspace occupied by a 

 blackish quadrate spot : secondaries grey-brown, darker towards 

 the margins, central spot dark grey-browu. Under surface fuscous 

 grey ; primaries streaked with purplish brown on the costa and brassy 

 reflections on inner margins ; secondaries pinkish brown, paler 

 towards abdominal margin ; a broad black central line on all the 

 wings, and a central spot on secondaries. 



Expanse 40 millim. 



One example taken by myself at Hakodate, August 188G. 



99. NoCTUA BAJA. 



Noctua baja, Fabr. Mant. Ins. ii. p. I7o. 



Teniocampa tabida, Butl. Ann. & Mag Nat. Hist. (5) i. p. 1G6 

 (1878) ; 111. Typ. Lep. Het. ii. pi. xxx. fig. 5. 



The specimen in the National Museum under the name of 

 T. tabida, Butl., is most certainly a form of Noctua baja. 



Yokohama (Jonas).
