PREFACE.
The third part of this Work is devoted to illustrations of tyjies of Japanese
and Chinese Moths in the British Museum, and therefore may be regarded as
a continuation of Part II. It perhaps exhibits even to a greater extent the
strongly marked European character of a great portion of this fauna, as
remarked iipon already in the preceding part.
Again, the greater part of the species represented are from the Collection
made at Yokohama by Mr. F. M. Jonas, and that formed by Mr. H. Whitely
at Hakodate.
The Chinese species are, almost without exception, nearly allied to
Japanese forms ; several species, moreover, are common to both localities.
The descriptions of the third part, like those of the preceding, have been
prepared by Mr. A. G. Butler, F.L.S., one of the Senior Assistants in the
Department of Zoology.

different in direction; the secondaries altogether deeper in colour, with broadly diffused

Acherontia medusa. (Plate XLI. fig. 5.)
Acherontia medusa, Butler. Trans. Zool. Soc. vol. ix. p. 597 (1870).

intersecting transverse lines less strongly dentated : secondaries with the black bands usually
closer together, better defined, the inner ones generally extending at least to the third median

This species and all the Asiatic forms can readily be distinguished from A. atropos by
the absence of the black bands on the ventral surface of the abdomen.
DILUDIA, Grote.

Macrosila discistriga, WalJcer, Cat. Lep. Met. viii. p. 209 (1856).

bordered, whitish, angulated band ; a black-bordered apical greyish patch, with dusky centre
and deeply notched anterior margin ; six white-bordered black spots in pairs, and followed by
single brown spots, near the outer margin ; fringe white, spotted with brown : secondaries
smoky brown, with ill-defined paler discal belt ; the costal area, base, an abdominal marginal
streak, and the sinuations of the frmge whitish : body whitish at the sides, thorax with an

Diludia increta. (Plate XLI. fig. 7.)
Anceryx increta, Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. Suppl. i. p. 36 (18G4).

with two parallel dusky belts and a broad dusky border ; fringe white, spotted with blackish ;
secondaries with pearly white abdominal border ; body below pure white. Expanse of wings

Shanghai ; North China {Fortune) ; Yokohama (Jonas) .
In the " Revision of the Sphingidse" (Trans. Zool. Soc. vol. ix. p. 61G) this species was
erro)ieously identified, from Japanese drawings, with D. rates, and the transformations were
figured under that name ; the specimens obtained by Mr. Jonas at Yokohama have brought
this mistake to light.

If the species figured by Mr. Moore be a male, it is certainly distinct from A. vacillans;
it, however, looks more like a female in the figure.

Shanghai.
Walker's measurement of this species is entirely incorrect ; the " black point " on each
side of the thorax, mentioned in his description, is due to abrasion.
SPILARCTIA, Butler.
This genus principally differs from Spilosoma in the greater distance between the emission
of the first and second median branches of the primaries, the longer and more deeply fringed
tegulje, and generally longer palpi : of the species originally associated under it, S. lativitta
and S. flavalis of Moore might readily be separated as a distinct genus.

Several species of this genus were placed by Mr. Walker under the Plusiodonta of
Guenee, with which some Lepidopterists regard it as synonymous : it differs in the form of
the wings and its shorter and more recurved palpi.
The typical species of Plusiodonta have long straight palpi like Deltoids ; and the
introduction of several species of Deva into the genus, combined with the absence of the
typical species, has been the cause of an error in naming one of the Japanese species;
" Platydia casta, " which resembles a Deltoid, being in reality a typical Plusiodonta.
