as forewmgs. such as is the case in the ?. As the colour is subject to variation this does not imply much

Mats. (p. 9b) as it is synonymous. 
D tnmacula Scriba (p 9(5). This name may eventually be withdrawn in favour of nachiensis Mar 
which is the older name and if the latter is not exclusively described in Japanese. — In regard to establishing 
' the lde ;^y ot these two names, Matsumura also mentions the species flava Mats., which we have hitherto 
omitted from this Supplement, as no description was available. It differs from trimacula $ (pi 8 a) merely 
by havin § a complete band on hindwings, that is wide near inner margin and then suddenly contracts in 
a corresponding way to the decrease m size of the isolated spots of trimacula. Described from Kyoto.

niai ved. A somewhat interrupted dark outer band and submarginal band, both parallel to one another and 
becoming indistinct towards inner margin. The space between same is whitish. Separated from the two bands 
and before same on costa, there are 2 dark spots. Hindwings somewhat darker than forewings. The sub¬ 
marginal band is rather wider than on forewings, only distinct at anal angle. Both wings have a faint spot 
at disco-cellular, fringes black and white checked. $ 46 mm. Honslio (Japan)

straight as 111 abietis. Anterior to same on inner margin there is a “c” shaped spot. The lunule at disco- 
cellular nervure and the outer line are about as in abietis. The submarginal line is dentate, grey-white out- 
wardiy and without the dentation inwardly above vein 2. Fringes with black spots. Hindwings dark brown, 
n the x. the forewing is grey and the marking of the lines varies somewhat. The inner line is angulated below 
t he costa as 111 abietis, thence more obliquely to inner margin. The subbasal line is parallel to the inner 
line. Spot on disco-cellular as in abietis. The outer line is double, both with outer grey-white edge. The 
inner branch protrudes to centre of disco-cellular nervure, otherwise it is undulate and about parallel to outer 
margin. Margin is dark brown. Hindwings grey-white, a spot is indicated on disco-cellular. 42 -55 mm

D ; Vseudabietis Btlr. In Vol. 2, p. 113 argentata Btlr. from Japan is enumerated as a form of this 
species. According to Matsumura argentata should be classified with pudibunda L 
, T D - ni ?™ Hmps is dealt with in Vol. 10, p. 294, pi. 38 e, but besides occurring in India, it is reported 
jiom Japan m Hokkaido and Honslio. The Genus Chibidokuga Mats, has been created for this species.

manchuri - p 97, line 23 from top. 0. antiqua L . The form manchurica Mats, is said to differ from the type 
• form by the absence of the white spot on the outer line near inner margin. The illustration, which is not 
satisfactory, shows a white spot even though same is reduced in size. Besides the spot at disco-cellular nervure 
is more distinct and hindwings are darker than forewings. Described from 2 from Manchuria

coreana ’ , P- 9f >’ line 18 from t0 P- A - coreana Mats. Very similar to jankowskii Oberth. (Vol. 2. pi 19 d) and 
probably only a form of same. The subbasal band does not vary. The inner band has a wliite-grey edge on 
both sides and if the original illustration is correct, it is more boldly incurved above the median nervure 
to costa The dash at disco-cellular nervure is distinct. The outer and submarginal lines are formed as in 
jankowskii, but here the former is also dark and the space between same is darkly dusted. Besides there is 
a dark marginal line, which is not so spotted as in the original illustration of jankowskii. where in fact same 
may he quite absent, Hindwings black-brown. 33 mm. Described from 1 £ from Corea.
