as belonging to ravalis. From Mosul, occurring among pale grey-yellow transition specimens with faint rudi¬ 
mentary markings in discal area. 
117. Genus: fSomoloclia Hbn. 
B. nigrobasalis Herz should be classified after zilla Btlr. (Vol. 3, p. 432, pi. 73 c), it is more coarsely and 
roughly scaled, deeper dark brown. The basal two-thirds are uniformly black-brown, the greyish white longi¬ 
tudinal streak is absent. Wing expanse: 28—30 mm. Corea. 
B. Installs Led. (Vol. 3, p. 434, pi. 73 f). — nigrescens Braes, is a very deep dusky brown with quite 
obsolete markings. Hindwings dark brown with fringes of same shade with a fine blackish terminal line. 
B. nikkensis Wilem. & West, is most closely related to B. zilla Btlr. (Vol. 3, p. 432, pi. 73 c). Body pale 
brown, abdomen yellowish white. Forewings pale brown with a large dark brown patch, which covers the basal 
two-thirds of wings and extends from base to the posterior transverse line and from costa to vein 1. It is edged 
by a reddish yellow line that expands towards base. The postmedian line, as the outer edge of the dark area, 
extends from costa obliquely outwards to vein 4, where it is angulated and proceeds obliquely inwards over 
vein 2 and then somewhat outwards to vein 1, where it is again angulated and turns vertically to inner margin. 
Both the upper stigmata are represented by dark dots. The subterminal area is dusky. Costa is reddish yellow 
with 2 obsolete black-brown spots below apex. There are dark spots at margin in interstices between the veins. 
Hindwings pale brown. Wing expanse: 28 mm. Japan; Honsho, Nikko, Kobe, in Jidy and August. 
118. Genus: Hypeua Schrnk. 
H. innocua Wilem. <Sc West, most closely resembles triangularis Mr. (Vol. 3, p. 444, pi. 75 k). Body and 
forewings dull grey-brown, the latter dusted more darkly. Both upper stigmata denoted by an appression of 
black-brown upstanding scales with an oblique streak from costa to orbicular stigma. Posterior transverse 
line, dark brown, undulate, extending obliquely inwards with yellowish red outer edge. Subterminal line con¬ 
sists of irregular black-brown dots, that are very indistinct below vein 5. Apex is intersected by an oblique 
black-brown streak. On margin there are blackish dots in interstices between the veins. Hindwings pale dull 
greyish brown, dusted duskily. Wing expanse: 26 mm. Japan (Honsho, Kiushu, Shikoku). 
H. yoshinalis Wilem. <b West. Both this and the subsequent species are related to rusticalis Leech. (Vol. 3, 
p. 436, pi. 75 c). Body black-brown, forewings reddish yellow, dusted with black-brown and with dusky speckles. 
The black-brown anterior transverse line is undulate and extends from costa to mediana, thence obliquely 
inwards to inner margin. The posterior transverse line extends in an arc to mediana and then also obliquely 
to inner margin. Subterminal line is parallel, indistinctly brownish black. Marginal line of the same shade. 
Hindwings blackish brown. Wing expanse: 26 mm. Japan (Honsho, Shikoku). 
H. hokkaidalis Wilem. & West. Forewings reddish yellow', peppered with sepia, markings indicated 
where the speckles become denser. Posterior to centre an indistinctly outlined obsolete patch or band extending 
half-way from below costa to vein 2, where it terminates contracting to a point. The subterminal band extends 
in a straight line to vein 3, where it is angulated inwards and proceeds obliquely to inner margin. The apex 
is intersected by a short oblique streak. Hindwings yellowish, somewhat peppered with brown. Wing expanse: 
29 mm. Hokkaido. 
H. obsitalis Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 435, pi. 73 i). cholerica Schaiv. is pale yellow-brown, only the outer edge 
of the central area is white. The central area itself is slightly paler. Herzegovina.
