Callidrepana hirayamai Nagano 

 (PI. 12, fig. 372 ; Text-figs. 239-245) 

 Callidrepana hirayamai Nagano, 191 7 : 492. [Fig] 



The identity of this species was revealed by Inoue (1961). Through the kindness 

 of Dr. H. Inoue I was able to borrow a Japanese male of this species and to compare 

 it with the Chinese material at Bonn and in the collection of the BM(NH). 



The colour-pattern separates this species from ovata and patrana which it resembles 

 to some extent externally : the dotted rectangular marking at the end of the cell 

 on the fore wing is particularly diagnostic. The coloration is similar to patrana, 

 but in many specimens the ground-colour is a dull greyish yellow as in the holotype 

 of hirayamai forcipulata. The presence of an uncus, and the shape of the valves 

 and socii are characteristic features of the male genitalia. 



Two subspecies are known : the nominate subspecies (Japan) and forcipidata 

 (China).
