Allied to C. duplicata, but the black outer line is more strongly angulated and produced below the costa, and the tooth-like projection above the inner margin is of greater length. There is also a conspicuous white spot outlined in black below the reniform. On the secondaries the central black transverse band is curved instead of angulated, and is interrupted before reaching the external margin ; the black marginal border is scalloped on its internal edge. Antennse two thirds the length of primaries. Expanse 57 millim. I took a specimen at Nagahama and one at Fushiki in July. 363. CATOCALA DUPLICATA. Catocala duplicata, Butl. Cist.
