 Gortyna leucostigma Hon. 



Sect. I. Antennae of <$ bipectinate. 



G. japonica Leech (= succincta Graes.) (46 a): Forewing dark purplish fuscous, the median area japonica. 

 darkest; inner and outer lines dark, indistinct, conversely pale-edged, the outer lunulate-dentate, excurved 

 beyond cell; stigmata indistinct; the orbicular paler, reddish-brown; the reniform dark with the outer edge 

 interruptedly whitish; submarginal Une pale grey, indistinct; hindwing fuscous. Amurland and Japan. 



G. dolia Piing. (46 a). Forewing ashy grey washed with brownish; a short dark basal streak; dolia. 

 median area between subcostal vein and submedian fold blackish; upper stigmata grey with pale outlines, 

 the orbicular large, oblique, the reniform outwardly undefined ; inner line oblique, bent on submedian fold ; 

 outer excurved round cell, then incurved, both pale; subterminal line obscure, preceded by two black 

 marks; hindwing dirty ashgrey, with dark outer line and submarginal shade. Togus-torau and the 

 Alexander Mts. 



Sect. III. Antennae of <$ pubescent only. 



G. leucostigma Hbn. (= khasiana Moore) (46 a). Forewing dull dark brown, faintly reddish- tinged ; leucostigma. 

 the veins powdered with grey scales; the terminal area beyond subterminal line black-brown, except at 

 apex: median area between subcostal vein and vein 1 somewhat darker than the rest of wing; inner and 

 outer lines indistinctly double: the inner outwardly oblique, the outer bent on vein 5; claviform stigma 

 hardly visible; orbicular stigma oblique, elliptical, of the ground-colour, with paler annulus; the reniform 

 white or dull yellow, containing a double dark lunule with pale centre; the outer edge of this dark inner 

 lunule is sometimes obsolete, in which case the stigma appears more solidly yellowish or white; the space

 fuscous grey; — in the ab. lunina Kaic. (= intermedia Tutt) (46 a) the outer fascia is conspicuously paler, lunina. 

 becoming pale brown or pinkish ochreous, the median vein and veins 3, 4 at their base are white, and
