BY JINSHICHI SHIBU¥A~ The object of this paper is to give a systematic account of the species belonging to the pyraustinae, a subfamily of ryralidae, Lepidoptera, which have hitherto been described from Japan, or recorded as occurring in this country. The preliminary account of the Pyraustinae of Japan was given by C. STOLL in his Papillons Exotiques, vol. iv, 1782, and in this publication he described a new species Phalaena (Pyralis) fascialis STOLL (=l£ymenia recurvalis FABR.). In 1860, MOTSCHULSKY in Etud. Entom. vol. ix, enu merated a new genus Nomis (= Udea), two new species Sylepta quadri maculalis, Udea albopedalis, the latter is the genotype of Nomis, and an unrecorded species Pyrausta sambucalis SCHIFF. et DEN. In regard to Sylepta quadrimaculalis MOTSCH., this species was originally placed under genus Botyodes, and with its specific name Sylepta quadrimaculalis was already given by KOLLER for a Pyralid-moth in 1844, while G. F. HAMPSON elected a new name Sylepta inferior H~IPSN. for S. quadrimaculalis MOTSCH. In 1863, LEDERER in Wien. Ent. Mon. vii, recorded Margaronia perspectalz's 1 \VLK. from this country as Phace!lura advenalz's LED. In t 866 \ MOTSCHUI. SKY added three more unrecorded species to the Pyralid-fauna of Japan, viz., Diasemia litterata Seop. (as Botys literalis SCHIFF. et DEN.), Udea rubriginalis HBN. and Paratalanta ussurialis BREM. In the Cist. Ent. ii, 1877, PRYER recorded Udea minnehaha PRYER as occurring in Japan. BUTLER, in the Ill. Typ. Sp. Het. B. M. vol. ii, 1878, described the following eight new species fro:n this country: I. Dichocrocis chlorophanta fsp. n. 2. Hymenia erebi1ta 51'. n. (=Sy!epta tllctt/osa/is GN.) 3. Glyphodes neomma sp. n. 0( = Margaronz'~ nigropuncta/is BREM.) 4. G. sylpharis sp. n. (= M. py/oa/is WLK.) 5. Botys jessica sp. n. (= Udea landoNs lIBN.) I) Bul. Soc. Nat. Mosc., xxxix (I). [Jour.

In 1879,9) BUTLER described four more species as new from Japan as follows: I. Lamprosema commixta sp. n. 2. Mm-gtl1"onia inZlsitata sp. n. (=Mm-garonia annu/ata FARR.) ; 3. M. p'yeri sp. n. 4. Uresiphita j>1"uipemzis sp. n. In 1881,3), the following six new species were described from Japan by BUTLER: 1. Fa"yda quadrilimata sp. n. (= Pagyda amphisalis WLK.) 2. Sylepta insignis sp. n. 3. Udea .fmtoni sp. n. 4. Emtychia diversa sp. n. (= PY1"Ousta hlett/alis HBN.) 5. Pyrausta chrysitis sp. n. 6. P. unipunctata sp. n. In 1885,4) PRYER recorded Dichocrocis jU,1Zct?/eralis GN. and Margaro7Zia qttadrimacltlalis BRmI. et GREY as occurring in Japan. In 1889,5) LEECH 2) Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., (5) iv. 3) Trans. Ent.

ON THE KNOWN AND UNRECOR[)ED SPECIES OF THE JAPANESE PVRAUSTINiE 153 described the following twelve new species and the same time he newly recorded Heliotltela nigralbata LEECH from Japan: I.

(= Goniorhync1zus margi1Zalis W ARR.), and also recorded three unre corded species Agrotera lzemoralis ScoP., wzaphalocrocis medinalis GN. and Sylepta do'ogata FABR. The following year,V) HAMPSON recorded five more species, which were, so far as I am aware, not recorded from this country 6) Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., (6) ix. 7) Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., (6) xvi. 8) Proc.

In 1900,10) a new species Pyrausta discimaculalis HMPSN. was described, the type specimen of which was obtained in Japan. In 1901,11) Prof. S. MATSUMURA gave Japan as a locality of Margaronia indica SAUND. In the same year,l!> HERING enumeratee a new species Pagyda quinquelineata HER ING and the following six unrecorded species from Japan: I. E",:rhypm'od~s bract~olalis ZEI.L. 4.
