Show 1889.] LEPIDOPTERA OF JAPAN AND COREA. 485 48. GORTYNA EDENTATA, sp. n. (Plate LI. fig. 9.) 2 • Primaries ochreous brown ; inner line oblique, brown, bordered externally with paler; a darker transverse central shade followed by a pale-bordered red-brown line ; submarginal line pale, undulating, preceded on the costa by a dark cloud; the stigmata are outlined with pale colour, but ill defined: secondaries pale ochreous, the inner half suffused with fuscous; central spot and curved tiansverse line fuscous ; a thin brownish line at base of fringes. Under surface pale shining ochreous brown, all the wings traversed by a brown transverse line, fringes of primaries darker. Expanse 38-42 millim. One 2 example, coll. Pryer, without exact locality. I took a specimen at Oiwake in October 1886. Allied to G. emarginata, Butl., but at once distinguished by its different colour and curvature of outer line of primaries. The outer margins are something similar in contour to those of G. emarginata, but they are not toothed. Yokohama (Pryer) ; Oiwake (Leech). 49. OCHRIA OCHRACEA. Noctua ochracea, Hiibn. Beitr. i. pi. 2. M (1786). Noctua jiavago, Esp. Schmett. pi. 112. figs. 2-4 (1788) ; Hiibn. Noct. figs. 186, 187. Ochria fiavago, Hiibn. Verz. Schmett. 233. 2338. Gortyna flavago, Treit. Schmett. v. 2. p. 335 ; Guen. Noct. i. p. 122. Var. Ochria fortis, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (5) i. p. 83 (1878); 111. Typ. Lep. Het. ii. pi. xxviii. fig. 9 (1878). A few examples, coll. Pryer. I took specimens at Hakodate in August and Oiwake in September. Most of the Japanese specimens (O. fortis, Butl.) have the secondaries darker than typical O. ochracea, but they do not otherwise differ from European examples of this species in any important particular. Yokohama (Jonas and Pryer); Oiwake (Pryer and Leech) ; Hakodate (Leech); Europe. 50. HELOTROPHA LEUCOSTIGMA. Noctua leucostigma, Hiibn. Noct. fig. 375. Var. Noctua fibrosa, Hiibn. Noct. fig. 385 ; (Apamea) Guen. Noct. i. p. 210. Apamea leucostigma, Treit. Schmett. v. 2. p. 331 ; Guen. I. c. Hydreecia leucostigma, Steph. Cat. Brit. Lep. p. 86. Cerastis leevis, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1881, p. 181. One unnamed example, coll. Pryer. I took a long series at Gensan in June 1886, and m y native collector obtained a few at Hakodate in June or July of the following year. Both forms of the species are well represented, and there are modifications of each ; one of leucostigma form is the Cerastis leevis, Butl. |
