Zanclalbara scabiosa (Butler) Inoue, 1962 : 27. [Good figs.] 



Distinguished from fuscilinea, probably its closest ally, and from the rest of the 

 genus by the distinctive colour-pattern of the wings (see Inoue, 1962) and in the 

 male genitalia by the shape of the gnathus, socii and uncus. 



Two subspecies are known : the nominate subspecies (S.E. Russia and Japan) 

 and fixseni (China and Korea).

 (PI. 1, fig. 301 ; Text-figs. 57-59) 



Albara scabiosa (Butler) ; Inoue, 1956 : 368. [Partim.] [Good figs.] 



Separated from fixseni by the narrow, usually poorly marked, proximal sub- 

 terminal line and by the male genitalia (see fixseni). 

 Wing. <$ 14-0-17-5 mm. (40) ; $ 17-5-20-0 mm. (3). 

 Distribution. Japan (see Inoue, 1956, 1962) and S.E. Russia. 



Type. I select as LECTOTYPE a $ syntype labelled : 77.9 Japan ; Drepana 

 scabiosa Butler Type. This is one of a pair of syntypes, which according to the 

 registration details recorded in the Department of Entomology, BM(NH) (Registra- 

 tion No. 1877-9), were collected by F. M. Jonas in Yokohama (Japan). The type- 

 locality given by Butler in the original description is ' Yokohoma (Jonas) ', which 

 confirms the supposition that the present lectotype and paralectotype (labelled 

 77.9 Japan) form part or whole of Butler's original material.
