There was a short series of rather pale examples in 

 Pryer's collection.

 and June, at Tsuruga and Fushiki in July, and I have 

 received others from Moupin, Ta-chien-lu, Wa-shan, Omei- 

 shan, Ni-ton, Chang-yang, and Ichang. Occurs in China 

 in June, July, and August.

1855. Sylepta luteolalis, sp. n. (Plate XV, fig. 18.) 



Whitish tinged with yellow. Primaries have a dusky lunule at 

 end of the cell, and there are indications of a dusky postmedial line 

 which appears to be excurved from costa to vein 2, thence direct to 

 inner margin. Secondaries have a dusky median shade and post- 

 medial line. Fringes greyish-white. Under surface whitish, slightly 

 tinged with fuscous, markings as above. 



Expanse 34 millim. 



One example from Chia-kou-ho and one from Wa-shan. 

 June and July. 



Habitat. Western China. 



Somewhat similar to S. sabinusalis, Walk., but the post- 

 medial line is not so highly bent inwards.

Primaries pale ochreous brown, suffused with darker brown, except 

 on the costa ; a spot in the cell and one at the end of cell blackish ; 

 the space between spots pale ochreous brown ; ante- and postmedial 

 lines blackish, the first oblique, the second outwardly edged witt 

 the clear ground colour, slightly oblique and bluntly serrate to vein 

 2 where it turns inwards to below end of the cell, thence sinuous 

 to the inner margin. Secondaries rather more suffused with darker 

 brown than the primaries ; discal spot and postmedial line blackish ; 

 the latter rather sinuous and turned inwards for a short distance 

 along vein 2. Fringes of all wings paler than the ground colour,
