CHINESE DREPANINAE 105 



Drepana curvatula urupitla Bryk, 1942 : 27. [Synonymized with acuta by Inoue, 1962 : 21.] 

 Drepana curvatula koreula Bryk, 1949 : 27. [Synonymized with acuta by Inoue 1962 : 21.] 



Distinguishable from the nominate subspecies only by the colour-pattern (see 

 references to figs, above). 



Distribution. Japan (see Inoue 1959, 1962), S.E. Russia and Kuril Islands, 

 Korea, China (Manchuria). There is a single male in the Hone collection, Bonn, 

 from Shansi which also probably represents this subspecies. 



Types examined, acuta. I select as LECTOTYPE a male from the original 

 series in the BM(NH) labelled : Tokei [Tokyo], 89.97 ! Drepana acuta <$ Butler 

 Type [in Butler's handwriting] ; Drepanidae genitalia slide No. 325.

Drepana rufofasciata Hampson ; Gaede, 193 1 : 27. 



This species is externally closest to pallida Moore. It can be distinguished from 

 the latter by the more reddish medial shade on the fore wing and by the less well 

 marked postmedial fascia, which is parallel to the subterminal fascia on the fore 

 wing (unlike pallida). Small differences in the male and female genitalia separate 

 rufofasciata from pallida and dispilata Warren both of which are closely allied to 

 rufofasciata. 



Distribution. The range of rufofasciata includes Sikkim, and China. The few 

 Chinese specimens listed below are considerably paler than the Sikkim material but 

 no significant differences in the genitalia or other characters appear to be present.
