596 MR. J. H. LEECH ON THE [DeC. 18, 



and July). This is Fryer's no. 77 ; there were only two examples 

 in his collection, and were taken, I believe, at Yokohama. 



? Yokohama {Fryer) ; Hakodate, Gensan {Leech) ; Kiukiang 

 {Pratt) ; Foochau (April, Leech) ; Isle of Askold ; N. China. 



69. NORTHIA PSYCHINA. 



Procris psyehina, Oberth. Etud. d'Entom. pt. v. p. 28, pi. vii. fig. 6. 



Allied to N. sinensis, but the wings, which are shorter and rounder, 

 are thickly clothed with brownish scales. There were two examples 

 in Fryer's collection, and I took an example at Hakodate in August. 



Yokohama {Pryer); Hakodate {Leech). 



70. NoRTHIA TENUIS. 



Northia tenuis, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (4) xx. p. 394 

 (1877) ; 111. Typ. Lep. Het. pt. ii. p. 4, pi. xxi. fig. 7 (1878). 



(Neuration of primaries, Plate XXX. fig. 19.) 



I met with several specimens in Satsuma and at Nagasaki in May 

 1886 and one at Hakodate in August of the same year. My native 

 collector obtained it in the last-named place, in June and July. 

 Eleven examples in Fryer's collection, two of which are somewhat 

 faded and are the no. 75 of his catalogue. The larva is said to feed 

 on spindle. 



In his paper on Lepidoptera from the Corea, Dr. Fixsen notes 

 the occurrence of this insect, but not of N. sinensis. On my visit to 

 the Corea I obtained the last named, but not N. tenuis. 



Yokohama {Jonas and Pryer) ; Oiwake {Pryer) ; Nagasaki, 

 Satsuma, Hakodate {Leech) ; Hong-Kong. 



71. Northia dirce, sp. n. (Flate XXX. fig. 8.) 



2 . Hyaline, primaries clouded with black at base, third of costa, 

 and broadly along inner margin ; apex broadly, and outer margin 

 narrowly bordered with black. Secondaries black along the costa. 

 Antennae, head, thorax, abdomen, and legs black. 



Expanse 30 milHm. 



Alhed to M. tenuis, Butl., but can at once be separated therefrom 

 by the black apex of primaries and also by its longer and narrower 

 wings, and difi"erent shape of discal cell. 



One example taken by myself at Gensan in July. There are four 

 specimens from N. China in the National Collection at South 

 Kensington. 



72. Northia cybele, sp. n. (Plate XXX. fig. 9.) 



2 . Hyaline, clouded with blackish at the base, along the costa 

 nearly to the middle, and on inner margin of primaries ; there are 

 also a few black scales along outer margin. Secondaries thickly 

 dotted with black along the costal area. Fringes black. Antennae 

 slightly pectinated, brilliant metallic green ; body black with metallic 

 green reflections. 



Expanse 30 milUm. 



Closely allied to N. sinensis, Walk., from which, however, it may
