with a line proceeding from apex. In the marginal area there are dark shadings, outer margin heavily 
excurved. On paler hind wings a line from %rds of inner margin in the direction of apex but curving 
inwards before reaching same. 45 mm. Ta-tsien-lu. 
A. agna Oberth. (lOg). This and the following 2 species have a similar scheme of markings, the agna. 
excurvation of outer margin is only as pronounced in the first 2 as in robusta. Ground colour bluish brown 
with 2 reddish brown transverse lines. On forewings the inner line is about vertical, the outer one diverges 
from it at costa. There are a few blackish dots before the outer margin. On hindwings the two lines are 
parallel and slightly curved. 25—35 mm. Siao-lu. 
A. opaiescens Oberth. (10g). Most probably this is only a dark form of lilacina Mr., dealt with in opalescens. 
Vol. 2, p. 203. pi. 48 d. The colour of forewings is approximately like that of agna. Both lines are also red- 
brown, of which the inner one inclines towards the base at the costa. Both lines with pale edges on averted 
sides. Tne inner line commences at costa in a black triangle, behind same on the costa there is a similar 
triangle. Hindwings deep orange-yellow, at %ths of inner margin there are indications of a brown transverse 
line. 23 30 mm. Tien-tsuen. — The species is also very like bicostata Hmps. (Vol. 10, p. 470, pi. 49 g as 
bicolarata), but in the latter the inner line of fore wings is more vertical and on underside the costa of both 
wings is not dark. 
A. ocellata Oberth. (10 g). Ground colour is paler than the two previous species, but otherwise similar, ocellata. 
On fore wings the two transverse lines are like those of agna, but the outer one is faintly incurved. The two 
spots on costa correspond to those of opalescens. At upper and lower angles of cell 3 small white spots. In 
marginal area there is a white line edged on both sides with dark shading. On pale yellow hindwings the 
two transverse lines are only visible near inner margin and besides there are dark streaks near anal angle. $ 
28 mm. Siao-lu. This species is probably only a form of vira Mr. (Vol. 10, p. 470 and pi. 49 g as vera). In 
the latter the white submarginal line is not so distinct as in Oberthur's illustration of ocellata. The curving 
of the outei line varies considerably in vira, this will probably also be the case with ocellata. 
A. pulvis Oberth. (10 g) varies somewhat in the shape of the wings and formation of the lines. Ground 
colour pale grey violet, somewhat darker in the anterior part between the; two dentate white lines at costa, pulvis. 
The inner line dentate obliquely outward to median nervure, thence inwards and parallel to the outer line. 
Beyond the latter there is still a white submarginal line. There are 4 transverse lines at inner margin of 
whitish yellow hindwings. The 1st and 3rd are short and less distinct, the 2nd and 4th clearer and longer 
$28 mm. Siao-lu. 
A. ogasawarae Mats. $ ashy grey intermixed with brown scales. All lines brown. The inner line ogasawarac. 
imely drawn, heavily excurved, parallel to the outer line at the extremity. At disco-cellular 2 black dots. 
Outer line darker, from %ths of costa very obliquely outwards to vein 6, thence to %rds of inner margin 
The submarginal line vertical on vein 1 to outer line, above vein 2—4 brown scales. On hindwings there 
are two straight parallel fines from inner margin extending over %rds of width of wing. The $ is generally 
white with only a large brown spot behind the cell. Markings as in 32—42 mm. Honshu. 
11. Genus: I>eroca Wkr. 
D. phasma Btlr. (Vol. 2, p. 203, pi. 48 c). A larger form is named decisa Wan. In the the dark decisa. 
marking is blacker, the discal spot is large. The white dividing line is absent in the black margin, only 2 
white dots of it are left near the apex. The black apical spot has 3 obtuse dentations of which the lowest 
between veins 3 and 4 does not extend to the margin. On hindwings there are only traces at the inner margin 
of the 3 rows of spots. The $ is very hyaline as in phasma. The submarginal band is very narrow forming 
an obtuse angle above veins 6 and 4, otherwise it expands and is rounder between the veins. Beyond same 
there are grey triangular spots on the veins in front of the dark marginal band which consists of oval spots 
Japan, 1 
D coreana Hmps. Probably similar to phasma. Forewings white, somewhat transparent. Casta blackish coreana 
at, base, beyond same a few black streaks on costa. Anterior to disco-cellular an oblique black streak and 
another above same at costa. Outer line curved, diffuse, pale brown with fine black Mriations on veins. 
Beyond same a row of small brown spots, also having black striations on veins. Brown spots in the inter¬ 
stices between the veins at margin. Hindwings white, transparent with curved diffuse brown outer and 
submarginal bands. Marginal spots as on forewings. $ 25 mm. Corea.

,, , ( ' f aucata Sco V • (Vol. 2, p. 204, pi. 48 d). If one restricts the name asiatica B.-H. to specimens of 
the form that is already illustrated on pi. 48 d with central band of forewings reduced to a small spot at 
mnei margin and with minute marginal spots still present, then the name aeruginata Trti. can be retained aeruginaia. 
lor specimens on which these marginal spots are absent. In specimens from the typical locality Ficuzza.
