79. EUMETA MINUSCULA. 



Eumeta minuscula, But!. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1881, p. 22. 

 I bred an example of this species at Nagasaki in May. 

 Yokohama {Pryer) ; Nagasaki {Leech). 



80. Eumeta pryeri, Moore, MS. 



Nearly allied to E. wardii from South India, but has a broader 

 fore wing and less produced apex to the hind wing ; it is also of a 

 more unifoni ly darker cupreous brown colour than any of the other 

 species. 



Expanse Ig inch. 



Shanghai {Pryer). In coll. W. B. Pryer and F. Moore. 



The description has been kindly commnnicated by Mr, Moore. 

 There were two examples in H. Fryer's collection. 



81. Systropha nivosa. 



Systropha nivosa, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (5) iv. p. S.'iS 

 (1879). 



Five specimens in coll. Pryer, and one example taken by myself 

 at Gensan in July. 



Yokohama {Pryer) ; Gensan {Leech). 



82. Agrisius jafonicus, sp. n. (Plate XXX. fig. 10.) 



Allied to A. guttivitta, Walk., from India, but of an obscure 

 greyifsh colour, and without the central series of spots of that species. 

 Near the base there are twelve black spots arranged in four oblique 

 rows, the last two extending only from the costa to the median 

 nerve ; then comes a clear space bounded by a curved series of black 

 dots, which divide the wing into two equal portions, the outer 

 portion has black nervule?. Abdomen grey, with a dorsal and 

 lateral series of round black spots. 



Expanse 52 millim. 



83. (EoNisTis NiGRicosTA, sp. u. (Plate XXX. fig. 11.) 



S . Primaries grey; basal, inner and outer marginal areas yellowish; 

 costa with a bluish-black streak from base tapering to apex : 

 secondaries pale buflF, slightly darker towards margins, and with a 

 short, longitudinal, black bar just above the centre of wing. Under 

 surface yellowish ; primaries clouded with fuscous towards costa and 

 outer angle, and rather darker in discal cell ; secondaries with some 

 fuscous scales along anterior margin. Head black. Thorax orange. 

 Abdomen dull orange. 



Expanse 36 millim. 



Allied to CE. quadra, but the black costal streak on primaries and 

 black bar on secondaries separate it at once from that species. 



One example, coll. Pryer.
