Var. UNicoLOR. (Plate XXXII. fig. 10 a.) 



Darker than the type and without any trace of the central fascia, 

 the only markings noticeable being the basal dash and the sub- 

 marginal bands. 



The type may be compared with P. albidisca, Moore (P. Z. S. 

 1888, p. 299), from which it differs in the absence of any greenish 

 tinge, diflFerent angulations of transverse lines, and larger size. 



A long series in coll. Pryer wit'.iout locality. 



LiTHosiA afkineola, Brcm. 

 notodonta trepida. 

 Cnethocampa processionea, L. 



These species are recorded from Japan by Motschulsky, but have 

 not been subsequently received from there. 



EoMBYX flaveola, Motsch. 



BOMBYX FUSCATA, MotSch. 



Drepanulides ? RUFULus, Motsch. 



I have been unable to identifv these species; they may possibly 

 have been redescribed subsequently.
