One example, coll. Pryer. In A. askoldis, Oberth., the ground-colour is greyish and the patch from costa a brighter brown than the same character in A. nivalis, Butl. At the same time the disposition of the lines and other markings is identical in both insects; therefore I have considered them forms of one species. I should remark that the markings are similar in character to those of Ophiogramma from Europe. Tokio (Fenton) ; Yokohama ? (Pryer) ; Askold. 71. APAMEA LIMBATA. Apamea limbata, Butl. Ann. & Mag.
