LAELIA; NUMENES; LYMANTRIA; MAIMAIA. By M. Gaede. 283 
A. janhowshii Oberth. should be classified in this Genus and not in Cifuna (Vol. 2, p. 121). Aroa 
nigrofascia Wilem. (Vol. 10, pi. 42 g) from Formosa is said to be the same species. 
9. Genus: I^aella Steph. 
L. suzukii Mats. Thorax and forewings pale brownish white. Hindwings and abdomen grey-white, suzuldi. 
Forewings without gloss and devoid of markings. $ 39 mm. Kyoto. 
16. Genus: Humenes Wkr. 
N. disparilis Stgr. (Vol. 2, p. 126, pi. 20 c). The form hayashii Mats, is synonymous with biseparata Strd. 
18. Genus: (Cymantria Him. 
p. 100, line 4 from below. L. dispar L. (Vol. 2, p. 127, pi. 20 d). Under this species in Vol. 2, the form 
fumida Btlr. was mentioned. According to Matsumtjra this is a genuine species, as the larva is of quite a dif¬ 
ferent appearance. It is not rare around Tokio, but rather local in its distiibution. As in Vol. - onl\ the 
original description was given and as through the kindness of Messrs Stagdinger and Bang-Haas a large 
number of specimens from Yokohama has been submitted to me, I am now giving a fresh description: 
9 differs from dispar by the faint red edges to segments of abdomen and the ovipositor. Thorax and fore¬ 
wings grey-brown. The dark inner line commencing at one-quarter of length of costa proceeds straightly 
obliquely outwards to the submedian fold, there it is angulated and extends in an arc to inner margin, the 
terminal spot being below the angle. The disco-cellular mark is black. The dusky outer line commences at 
three-quarters of length of costa runs obliquely outwards to vein 5, thence parallel to outer margin, projecting 
widely on the veins. Posterior to same 2-3 blackish spots extending obliquely inwards from near apex and 
pointing towards the outer line. Beyond same there are large white lunules and black spots commencing at 
vein 2. A dark marginal band on deep buff hindwings. The AS which are not in such a perfect condition, 
have smoky dusky brown forewings. Only a blackish discal lunule and a boldly dentate white outer line are 
distinct. The latter has a blackish outer edge behind the cell and above the inner margin. Hindwings and 
abdomen darker than in $. 38—64 mm. 
p. 101, line 15 from top. L. bantaisana Mats. Body grey, forewings rather more darkly dusted, ground bantaisana. 
colour probably grey-white (this is not mentioned) markings dusky brown. Inner line slightly undulate, some¬ 
what obliquely outwards, straight. It is intersected by a black dash, that extends to below base of vein 2. 
At disco-cellular nervure there are only black dots, such as occasionally also occur in L. dispar. Outer line 
delicately marked in A projecting in dentations on veins. The curves below and above vein 2 and above 
vein 5 are rather more pronounced. In the $ the outer line is diffuse, undulate, widely edged with white out¬ 
wardly. Submarginal line indicated by diffuse patches in A and $. Hindwings in A with wide diffuse sub¬ 
marginal band; hindwings of $ dark but rather paler towards base. 50—68 mm. Honslio. The species is 
said to be similar to D. obsoleta Wkr. from Formosa (Vol. 10, p. 321, pi. 41 d). 
L. destituta Stgr. (Vol. 2, p. 129, pi. 21 a). The form maraschi Dan. from turkish Syria (S. E. Asia marascM. 
Minor) is much more darkly suffused with dark grey, so that the transverse bands are very indistinct and hind¬ 
wings are dusky buff with a 2 mm wide dark band extending over the entire length of the outer margin. This 
band is also visible on underside and is the characteristic of this form. 33 48 mm. It occurs in - geneiations, 
in the summer brood the marginal band is narrower. — lapidicola H.-Schdff. and its forms are very similar to 
destituta, but in the latter the abdomen is always yellow-grey and without the reddish colouration of the lapidicola 
forms. , 
L. minomonis Mats. Pale grey with red patagia. Forewings with black-brown markings. I lie sub- mmomoms 
basal, inner, outer and submarginal lines all very dentate. The outer line double, this however is not risible 
in the original illustration. Submarginal line is the boldest. The inner line, cell spot and lunular spot about 
as in L. monacha. The dentations of the outer line are less pronounced than those of inner line. The den¬ 
tations extend along veins 3 and 4 equally far outwards. The arc behind the lunular spot only slightly ex- 
curved. On submarginal only the arcs between veins 4 and 6 extend further inwards, the one or ei rein < 
being less deep. The black marginal spots are small. Hindwings with diffuse narrow dark band. A 44 mm. 
Osaka 
L. takamukui Nag. All that can be said of this species is that it is like the preceding. The outer takamukui 
and submarginal lines are less dentate and the dentations are more regular. Only one arc of the outer line 
projects fairly far inwards on the submedian fold. A 52 mm. Honsho. 
Vol. 2, p. 133. After the Genus Albarracina Stgr. should be entered: 
(21a). Genus: Maimaia Mats. 
Similar to Lymantria. In forewings veins 5 and 6 are bent downwards, further / + 10 X 8 X 9 
are stalked. In hindwings vein 5 arises very far forwards. Palpi long and thin.
