 macula sub-apicali tripartita, alteris duabus in regione exteriore, strigaque minima super 

 marginem iiiteriorera. Posticis immaculatis. Subtus ut in mare. Ciliis albis, ad apicem

This species, which is easily recognized by the dark veins on the under 

 surface of the secondaries, appears to be peculiar to Japan. It is widely 

 distributed in that country, but not common. I have specimens from 

 Satsuma, Nagasaki, Tsuruga, Hakodate, and Yokohama. 



Halpe submacula. (Plate XLii. fig. 13, 6 .) 



Halpe submacida, Leech, Entomologist, xxiii. p. 48 (1890). 



Male. Dark brown. Primaries have a double subhyaline spot in discoidal cell, one in each median 

 interspace beyond, and three forming a short oblique dash just below costa and near apex ; 

 there are also two small obscure yellowish spots below the discoidal cell. Secondaries have 

 three central subhyaline spots, two of these are only separated by the second median nervule, 

 and the third is nearer the costa. Under surface dark brown, clouded with yellowish, discul 

 central and costal subhyaline spots as above, but tinged with yellow ; the costa is streaked 

 with ochreous to the middle, and there is a submarginal series of ochreous spots extending to 

 first median : secondaries are brown, sprinkled with ochreous. scales, with a pale yellowish 

 spot near base of costal nerve, another nearer its middle, and one at its external extremity, 

 the last constitutes the initial spot of a submarginal series of double pale yellow spots, 

 the third of which represents the terminal spot of three, forming a longitudinal streak from 

 the base of the wing ; another longitudinal streak below is in connection with the last spot of 

 submarginal series, but its junction therewith is obscured by some blackish markings ; fringes 

 of both surfaces pale yellow, checiuered with blackish. 



Expanse 38-40 miUim. 



Occurs at Chang-yang and Chia-ting-fu in June and July. 



Halpe nephele, sp. nf)v. (Plate XLII. fig. 15, 6 .) 



Male. Blackish, sparsely powdered with ochreous grey on basal area of primaries ; these wings 

 have six whitish subhyaline spots jjluced as follows : — one in the discoidal cell ; three sub- 

 apical, tliat near the costa very minute ; one in each median interspace. Secondaries have 

 two short parallel whitish central dashes. Fringes whitish, chequered with blackish at ends 

 of nervules. Under surface fuliginous, powdered and suffused with yellowish on costal and 

 apical areas of ])riinaries and the whoh; of secondaries : primaries have the s]iots as above, 

 and also n subTiiargiii.il series of jmlo sjiots ; scMial hiaiid reproduced and edged with white 

 at its lower extremity ; secondaries have subbasal, central, and submarginal series of cr(>amy 

 spots, of which the second and third of central series are the largest. ■ Aiitennir black al)ove,
