Show 1889.] LEPIDOPTERA OF JAPAN AND COREA. 489 My native collector obtained examples of this species at Hakodate in June and July. Japanese specimens are darker than European. Yokohama, Oiwake (Pryer); Yokohama (Nat. Coll.) ; N.China. 65. DIPTERYGIA JAPONICA, sp. n. (Plate L. fig. 9.) Closely allied to D. scabriuscula, but the stigmata and transverse lines are hardly traceable, and the " bird's-wing " mark is white and different in form. The dark line which outlines the white wing-like mark in this species rises vertically from near the middle of inner margin, and then curving sharply outwards continues an undulating course to the middle of outer margin. The fringes are dark, streaked with white from apex to middle, and white chequered with brownish to inner angle. Secondaries grey-brown tinged with fuscous. Under surface of primaries fuscous brown, with a pale shining discal spot and some white scales in the fringes towards inner angle ; secondaries shining grey-brown, with a dark central spot. Thorax and abdomen slender. One o" example, coll. Pryer (no. 714). 66. APAMEA GEMINA. Noctua gemina, Hiibn. Noct. fig. 482. Hadena gemina, Treit. Schmett. v. 1. 345. Apamea gemina, Guen.
