A number of specimens, coll. Prver. 



M. exigua, Butl., is not even a striking aberration of C trapezitia, 

 and no one acquainted with the variation of the species would 

 attempt to separate Japanese examples from C. trapezitia.

cS ■ Primaries olivaceous brown ; two pale traiisrerse lines traverse 

 the disk of the wing and approach each other on the inner margin, 

 interspace darker ; there are indications of pale stigmata, but tliese 

 are very indistinct ; fringes brown, with jjinkish tinge : secondaries 

 pale brown, central spot and border of outer margin darker. Under 

 surface pale brown, with a pinkish tinge ; primaries with a fuscous 

 central spot and a broad transverse baud traversing the wing parallel 

 with outer margin ; secondaries with a fuscous central spot and 

 faintly defined transverse line, terminating in a cloud at anal angle. 



Expanse 40 millim.

A fine series, coll. Pryer. 



This insect is most certainly referable to I. retusa. Japanese 

 specimens agree exactly with Austrian and S. Russian specimens in 

 my collection.
