The neuration at end of cell is also of a different character. One example taken by myself at Gensan in July. 73. ZYG-ENA NIPHONA. Zygana niphona, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (4) xx. p. 393 (1877) ; 111. Typ. Lep. Het. pt. ii. p. 4, pi. xxi. fig. 9 (1878). Zygcena christophi, Staud., Rom. Mem. sur Lep. p. 173 (1887). A fine series in Pryer's collection. I took two specimens at Hakodate in August 1886. This species may have either five or six spots on the upper surface of primaries, but below the sixth spot is always to be seen though sometimes only faintly. Confluency of the spots appears to be rather the exception than the rule. There are one or two examples in m y series which agree very well with Butler's figure ; but in the majority the five or six spots, although contiguous, are quite independent of each other, except perhaps as regards the upper spots of the central and outer pairs, which are often united by a thin line of their own colour.
