XXIII. — On Lepidoptera Heterocera from China, Japan, and Corea. By JoHN Henry LeecH, B.A., F.L.S., F.Z.S., &c.* [Plates VI. k VU.] The following paper deals with species of Heterocera be-longing to the families Epicopiid^, Uraniidas, Epiplemidae, and GeometridjB. As, however, there are about nine hundred species in the latter family recorded from the region under consideration, it seemed advisable to divide the paper into two parts. In the present instalment, therefore, only the BoarpiiiniB subfamily of Geometridse is referred to. The arrangement of the list is based on the system of classification adopted by Sir George Hampson, Bart., in his work on Indian Heterocera (' Fauna of British India,' Moths, iii.), but in some instances Mr. Meyrick's revision of the Geometrina of the European fauna (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1892, pp. 53-140) has been followed. Over one hundred and fifty of the species here enumerated have not, so far as I am aware, been previously described. Family Epicopiidae. Genus Epicopia. (Westw. Arc. Ent. i. p. 17 (1845).) Epicopia mencia. Epicopeia mencia, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1874, p. 678, pi. Ixvii. fig. ^^ I received specimens from Chang-yang, Kiukiang, Omei-shan, and Moupin, taken in June and July. Hab.
