111. GrAPHIPHORA ILLOBA. 



Agrotis illoba, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (5) i. p. 162 (1878); 

 111. Typ. Lep. Het. iii. pi. xliv. fig. 7 (1879). 



Graphiphora pacifica, Butl. A. M. N. H. (.5) i. p. 165 (1878); 

 III. Typ. Lep. Het. ii. pi. xxx. fig. 2 (1878). 



An extensive and variable series, coll. Pryer. 



I took this species at Yokohama in October. 



The difference between O, illoba and O. pacifica, Butl., is one of 

 colour only. 



Yokohama (Jonas and Pryer) ; Oiwake (Pryer) ; Kiukiang 

 (Pratt). 



112. GbAPHIPHORA DEPARCA. 



Mythimna deparca, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (5) iv. p. 358 

 (1879). 



Several specimens, coll. Pryer. 



I took two males at Oiwake in October. 



Except that the S of this species has pectinated antennae it is 

 hardly separable from G. /estiva. Mr. Butler says it is allied to 

 Mythimna plncida, but in this I cannot concur.

Agrotis qiiadrisigna, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1881. p. 350.

Opigena arenosa, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1881, p. 179. 



Several specimens, coll. Pryer, among which are examples varying 

 in the direction of O. arenosa, Butl., which is certainly a pale form 

 of O. cecilia. I took a specimen at Nikko in September 1886 

 which agrees exactly with the type of O. arenosa in the National 

 Collection at South Kensington.
