other sex of a species which, as it is the prior name, should be known 

 as M.pulchra. In my series of this Miltochrista from Japan and the 

 Corea are specimens showing every gradation in the length of the 

 longitudinal streaks. The second line or series of black dots is 

 clearly defined in all the examples of both sexes, and, with but few 

 exceptions, this runs in a straight line from costa to inner margin.

 p. 14. 



An extensive series from Japan and Corea showing considerable 

 variation, especially in the character of the transverse marking 

 nearest outer margin of male primaries ; often this is simply a series 

 of grey linear spots, but in some examples the spots are elongated 

 into dashes or streaks, and in other specimens again these are con- 

 fluent, and form a broad transverse grey band slightly interrupted 

 here and there by rose-coloured streaks. In some female examples 

 there are but the faintest traces of rose-coloured streaks, and the 

 grey spots and streaks are very indistinct.

A specimen in Satsnma in May, one at Nagasaki in June, another 

 at Nagahama in July, and two at Gensan in the same month. 

 There was a long series in coll. Pryer. 



Comparing these specimens with others from Europe, I cannot 

 find any trustworthy point of difference between them.
