COREODONTA; SPAT ALIA; SEMIDONTA; LEUCODONTA; OCHROSTIGMA; SHIRONA. By M. Gaede. 
H. nigricosta Mats. Wings grey. Forewings with a wide band in centre consisting of black-brown nigricosta. 
spots. Hind wings somewhat paler than forewings with indistinct paler band. Underside pale grey. Forewings 
narrowly black-brown along costa, except at apical end. No other markings. 38 mm. Corea. 
21c. Genus: Coreoclonta Mats. 
Probably only a sub-group to Hyperaeschra. Thorax with long upright crest of hairs in centre. In 
forewings vein 6 and 7 widely separated from end of cell. Antennae of $ filiform. 
C. coreana Mats. Forewings dark brown, the last third paler at costa. Inner line very sharply corecnm. 
dentate, before same and below the cell, a dark streak. Outer line formed of black dots. 1 he apical area 
between veins 4—7 is paler, the veins themselves are dark and there are deep brown striations in the 
interstices. According to the original illustration the space below veins 2- 4 seems somewhat darker and 
the anal angle is then again paler. The tooth or lobe is dark. Hindwings dark grey and devoid of markings. 
$ 50 mm. Corea. 
24. Genus : tipatalia Hbn. 
Sp. argyropeza Oberth. (15 f). Closely related to the indian sikkima Mr. (Vol. 10 , pi. 79 d), which is argyropeza. 
a dark form of argentifera Wkr. (Vol. 2 , p. 304, pi. 46 f). However argyropeza is still darker, also at outer 
margin and at base of costa, so that the entire surface is uniformly deep brown, except for the pale apical 
patch, $ 44 mm. Ta-tsien-lu. 
Sp. jezoensis Wilem. db South. Similar to doerriesi Graes. (Vol. 2 , p. 303, pi. 46 e). Forewings pale jezoensis. 
brown and rusty red with cloudy violet-brown in marginal area, veins there being creamy white. Below the 
cell a triangular silver-spot with another spot nearer margin. The outer line is black, dentate and inter¬ 
rupted. Median nervure and discal lunule black. A white spot on margin between veins 5 and 6 . Hindwings 
dark brown. 38—48 mm. Hokkaido. 
' 22. Genus: Semidonla Sfgr. 
S. biloba Oberth. This form of the Indian basilis Mr. (Vol. 10 , pi. 80 c), dealt with m \ ol. 2 , p. 302, 
pi. 45 d, differs only very little from same, bidens Oberth. is exactly identical with it. Described from Ta- 
tsien-lu. 
25. Genus: Leucodonla Stgr. 
L. bicoloria Schiff. (Vol. 2 , p. 304, pi. 46 f). xanthoeephala Class has a deep orange head, collar and xanthoce 
long streaks over the “dorsal centre”. — In galactina DM. the golden yellow spots are much reduced, simi- 
larly the black spots, forming thereby a transition form to albida Bsd. and unicolora Men. It differs how¬ 
ever from them by the grey reddish sheen of the ground colour. It occurs rarely in Central and South 
Germany. 
26. Genus: Oclirostigma Hbn. 
O. velitaris Hufn. (Vol. 2 , p. 305, pi. 45 c). pontica Rbl. is a much darker grey. The transverse lines pontica, 
are filled with white and apparently they are more vertical to the inner margin. Trebizond. cinerea 5 cinerea. 
Schille has normal markings. Colour of forewings is slate-grey. The lines instead of being with white are 
filled with grey and also the large angular mark is grey. Hindwings dark grey-biown. 
0. melagona Bkh. (Vol. 2 , p. 305, pi. 45 c). melar.ochtoa Schultz is a dark form, which occurs in the melanoch. 
West German industrial region and also in Silesia. Forewings of <$ are grey-black to black with reddish sheen. 
The pale transverse lines are darker. In the $ forewings are densely dusted with grey-black. 
O. japonica Wilem. (Vol. 2 , p. 305). We are now giving an illustration of this species (14 e). 
26a. Genus: Shirona Mats. 
Antennae of $ pectinate and ciliate. Palpi short. Forewings with oblique outer margins. \'em o 
nearer to 6 ; 4 widely separated from 3, vein 6 from centre of accessory cell, 7 + 8 + 9 +10 from apex 
of same, the sequence of their branching off is not indicated. Vein 11 free. On hindwings vein 6 + / vi 1 
long stalk, 3 + 4 well separated.
