invagination of the eighth tergum and the degree of sclerotization of the ductus 

 bursae in the female. 



Distribution. Japan and China (Hunan, Szechwan). 



Material examined. Types, japonica. I select as LECTOTYPE of japonica a 

 $ [ex Pryer Coll.] in the BM(NH) labelled : Japan, 80-125 ! Drepana japonica 

 Moore Type [all except ' Type ' probably in Moore's handwriting] ; Drepanidae 

 genitalia slide No. 762. This specimen agrees exactly in wing-span with the figure 

 given by Moore (1877). Although it bears no Pryer collection label, the figures 

 ' 80-125 ' [B. M. registration No. 1880-125] provide evidence that the lectotype was 

 at one time housed in the Pryer collection. Reference to the entry 1880-125 shows 

 that the specimens registered here are not Lepidoptera and were not taken in Japan. 

 However, two entries above 1880-125 is the entry 1880-123 ; the specimens regis- 

 tered here are Lepidoptera from the Pryer collection taken at Shanghai, the source
