This species, wliich 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 XLli. fig. 13, <3 .) 
Halpe submacula, Leech, Entomologist, x.xiii. p. 48 (1890). 
Male. Dark brown. Primaries have a double subhyaliue 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, discal 
central and costal subhyaliue 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, chequered with blackish. 
Expanse 38—10 miUim. 
Occurs at Chang-yang and Chia-ting-fu in June and July. 
Halpe nephele, sp. nov. (Plate XLll. fig. 15, d .) 
Male. Blackish, sparsely powdered with ochreous grey on basal area of primaries ; these wings 
have six whitish subhyaline spots placed as follows : — one in the discoidal cell ; three sub- 
apical, that 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 primaries and the whole of secondaries : primaries have the spots as above, 
and also a submarginal series of pale spots ; sexual brand reproduced and edged with white 
at its lower extremity ; secondaries have subbasal, central, and submarginal series of creamy 
spots, of which the second and third of central scries are the largest. Antennoe black above, 
ringed with pale yellowish beneath ; club has the basal portion yellow, and the apical portion
