There is one cf example in the British Museum, from llakodadi. 

 The species is evidently allied to R. atrata, Lepchu. {altaica, 

 Fischer), but differs in its black legs, and in tlie complete, broad, 

 fuscous margin of the hind wings.

Grammataulius brevilinea, n. sp. G. fusco-niger, subtus griseo- 

 ochraceus; capite, prothorace, mesothoraceque in medio lurido-rufis. 

 Pedes griseo-flavi ; tibiis tarsisque nigro-spiuosis. Alse anticiie angu- 

 statse, elongataj, ad apicem vix dilatatse; margine apicali obliquo, paullo 

 exciso ; testaceaj, rufo-brunneo nebulosae, pterostigmate, area suturali 

 cellulaque apicali tertia fuscis, lineis duabus brevibus in area inter- 

 clavali nigiis ; posticix; albidic, hyalinse, ad apicem flavescentes ; cellula 

 apicali tertia pallide fuscescente ( $ ). Long. corp. 8 lin. ( = 16 mill.); 

 exp. alar. 20 lin. (=43 mill.). 



Hab. Japonia {in Mus. auct.). 



Head above lurid reddish, suffused with fuscous in the middle, quite 

 fiat, triangularly produced in front, truncate behind ; face and palpi 

 testaceous ; eyes black, reticulated with grey, Pronotum large, trans- 

 versely quadrangular, divided in the middle by a longitudinal line, 

 reddish. Mesonotum broadly black at the sides, and with a broad 

 longitudinal reddish middle band. Metanotum black, somewhat piceous. 

 The whole under-surface of the body greyish ochreous. Legs greyish

Anterior wings long and narrow, the costal inner margins nearly parallel,
