NOTOCETPTA. 627 
sometimes four, subapical spots on the under surface of primaries, which are 
connected with the costa by two pale dashes. It seems to be a fairly constant 
species, the only variation noticeable being the curvature of fascia, and the 
occasional absence of one or two of the outer white dots on primaries. 
I met with it commonly in May in a small ravine close to the sea near tlie 
port for Kumamoto, in Kiushiu. I also took it at Ningpo and Foochau, in 
April, and have received it from Chow-pin-sa, Wa-shan, and Chia-tiug-fu, in 
Western China. Felder's type was from Ningpo.
