ON THE JAPANESE HYDROCAMPIN/E

BY

J. SHIBUYA, F. E. S.

(Plate V)

The first Japanese spec:ies belonging to the Hydrocal1zp~1zce, a subfamily of E)!ralida:, were described by A. G. BUTLER in 18791), and in that publication he mentioned two new species, namely Pelena sericea BUTL~ and Epimima exi­gua BUTL., both the types of these species were taken in 'Yokohama by H. PRYER, and the former originally placed in the genus Deana, and the latter in Samea.

In the same year, in the Illustration of typical speci~ens of Lepidoptera Heterocera in the collection of the British Mtiseum, vol. iii, p. 75, pI. 59, f. 7, BUTLER originated another new species, Nymphula corculina BUTI .. , with a speci­men collected in Yokohama by F. M. JONAS.

In 18812), BUTLER described the following three new species from Japan: I. . Nymphztla turbata BUTL. (originally placed in genus Paraponyx). 2. Clupeosoma pryeri BUTL. ( " "Anemoa). 3. Cataclysta midas BUTL. In 18853\ H. PRYER enumerated three unrecorded speCies, Nympltula inter­

ruptalis PRYER, Nymplmla vittalis BREM. and Bradina atopalis WLK. In 18894\ J. H. LEECH described the following three new species from

Japan: I. Leparodes /loralis LEECH'" 2. Parthenodes prodigalis LEECH (originally placed in genus Cataclysta). 3. Piletocera sodalis LEECH (originally placed in genus Desmia). In regard to L. floralis LEECH, I have in this paper treated with this spe-:

cies as a synonym of N turbata BUTL.· In the Fauna of British India, Moths, vol. iv, 1896,. G.F. HAMPSON re­

corded Bradina admixtalis WLK. as occurring in Japan. In the following yea~)

SHIBUYA: 0:-1 THE JAPANESE HYDROCAMPINAi: 121

HAMPSON added the following three unrecorded species to the Hydrocamp£d­

fauna of Japan: 1. Cataclysta blmzdialzs WLK. 2. Stmia cltarolzia!t's WLK.

3. Perinephela lancealis SCHIFF. et DEN. In 1900,6) Prof. Dr. S. MATSUMURA gave Japan as a locality of Njlllpimia

jlttctttosalzs ZELL. In 1901, R. SOUTH published J. H. LEECH'S MS. of Lepi­

doptera, Heterocera from China, Japan and Corea 7>, and· dealt with several .E£ydrocampzd-moths from 'Japan, among which the following five were record-'

ed first as occurring in Japan:

I. ~Vymphula /engwllanalis PRYER 3· Bradina megesalzs Wuc. 5. Piletocera aegimittsalis WLK.'

2. Njlllpizula respo1Zsalzs WLK:

4· Diatkrausta picata BUTL.

Nymphula e1Zixalz~' SWINH. from India has been treated as a synonym of Njmphztla respollsalis WLK. but, as far as my studies go, the former may be

distinguished from the latter by the ground colour of wings and the undula­tion of the ante- and postmedial lines to the fore wing, which are quite different, and the Japanese specimen identified by LEECH as N responsalis Wl.K. is identi­cal with N mixalis SWINH. In regard to Diatkrausta picata BUTL., I was able

to give the personal examination upon the Japanese specimens identified by LEECH as the preceding species, and came to the conclusion that Diatkrmlsta picata LEECH (nec WLK.) is identical with Diatlzrattstabrevlfascialzs \VLMN.

In 1911,s:, A. E. WILEMAN enumerated the following three new species, two

unrecord species and one variety from Japan: r. .Nylllphuia stagnata DON.

2. Nymphula foedalis GN.

3. Njmplmla ilZterruptalzs PRYER var. separatalis LEECH 4. Aulacodes nawalis WLMN.{Sp. nov.) 5. Nj11lpltula b{/itrcalzS WLMN. (sp. nov.) ...... (originally placed in genus

Parthenodes) , 6. Diatltrauta brevifascialis VVLMN. (sp. nov.) ... ... (originally placed in genus

Syllgamia). I had an opportunity of examining the type specimen of A. ;lawalis WLMN.

and learned that this species seems to be identic;!l with Njmphula corculina

BUTL. In 19 I 2 ,~) I-I.<\MPSON originated another one new species Nacoleia lopltophoralis

HMPSN. from Japan. The specimen of this species has vein 10 of the fore wing

distinctly stalked with 8, 9, therefore in this paper, I have transferred this

species from pyraustiltae to the present subfamily, and placed in genus

Bradina. In 1917, Prof. Dr. S. MATSUMURA, in his Oyo-konchugaku (Applied Ento­

mology), described a new species Nymphula munakatae MATS., but this species. was already stated as a synonym of Nymphula ussuriensis REBEL by myself. *

In D:tinippon-gaichuzensho (The injurious Insects of the Japanese Empire)

published by Prof. S. MATSUMUHA, another one new species Epimima nawae MATS.,

originally placed in genLls Bradinomorplza MATS" was described. The genus

BradilZomorpha, so far as my studies go, has not been yet described by Prof. S. MATSUMURA. The species enumerated as Bradina admixta/is MATS. (nec

WLK.) by Prof. S. MATSUMURA in his Oyo-konchugaku seems to be identical with bpimima lzawae MATS.

In 1923,10) Dr. N. MARUMO adl:ed the following two unrecorded species to

the lfydrocamptd-fauna of Japan:

I. Camptomastix hisbonalis WLK. 2. Jl1usoti111a acc!aratis WLK.

It can now be seen that thirty-three species and one variety have been enumerated from Japan, three of which have already become synonyms and

two have wrongly been recorded as occurring in this country.

I have included in this paper the following two new species and three un­recorded species; thus, it has been known to us sixteen genera with thirty­

four species and one variety as existing in Japan.

I. lVj;mphula takamukui SHlBUYA (sp. nov.). 2. Epi111ima daise1Zsis SHIBUYA (sp. nov.).

3. Daztlia afralis WLK.

In conclusion, much invaluable aiel in many ways during the course of preparation of this paper was given by Dr. S. MATSUMURA, Professor of Ento­

mology of the Hokkaido Imperial University, Sapporo, to whom my warm tribute 1S uue.
