The female genitalia of eight species of the genus Nacaduba MOORE and four species of its allied genera, Prosotas, Ionolyce, Catopyrops and Petrelaea are figured. The generic character of Nacaduba is defined based on the unique formation of its female genitalia and the taxonomic importance of the latter is discussed.

Embryonic development of the osmeteria was studied in Byasa (Atrophaneura) alcinous alcinous KLUG and Papilio protenor demetrius CRAMER (Lepidoptera, Papilionidae). Although B. (A.) alcinous and P. protenor belong to different genera, osmeterial formation is the same in both cases. After revolution of the embryo a pair of rudiments of osmeteria is formed on the dorsal wall of its prothoracic segment. Each rudiment then invaginates into the segment, and becomes subdivided into future gland and sac. During the embryogenesis the former differentiates into an ellipsoidal gland with a central cavity and the latter becomes a large protrusible sac. Early osmeterial development, either in B. alcinous or in P. protenor, is the same as that was previously observed in other species of Papilionidae. But later development of osmeteria differs from what had been described for Parnassius glacialis BUTLER and Luehdorfia japonica LEECH.

The genus Blastodacna WOCKE comprises about twelve species which are mostly distributed in the Palaearctic region and N. America. In the Far East region, no species of this group has been reported except Sinitinea pyrigalla and an unnamed species described by YANG (1977) from China. The venation and genitalia of pyrigalla YANG are characteristic of the genus Blastodacna WOCKE and there can be no doubt that Sinitinea YANG, 1977, syn. nov. is a junior synonym of Blantodacna WOCKE, 1876 In writing this paper I wish to express my sincere appreciation to Dr. J. D. BRADLEY, Commonwealth Institute of Entomology, London, for his help with the investigation of the species and critically reading the manuscript, and special thanks are due to Dr. Chin-Kun YANG, Beijing Agricultural University, Beijing, China, for kindly writing to Dr. J.D. BRADLEY in London and confirming the identification of the species.

The Genus Ectropis HUBNER from Taiwan (Lepidoptera, Geometridae)

The genus Ectropis HUBNER is a monophyletic group if it is strictly defined based on E. crepuscularia ([DENIS et SCHIFFERMULLER]), the type species of the genus, and its relatives (SATO, 1980, 1984). Among the Hypomecis-complex many Indo-Malayan and Palaearctic species were placed in Ectropis simply because they had fasciculate male antennae. Some of such species have already been transferred to other genera mainly based on genitalic characteristics, but there still remain many disparate elements in the genus Ectropis from South East Asia. So far as I am concerned, as to the Taiwanese species, only three species belong to Ectropis. The mature and immature characters of them will be described in this paper, together with preliminary notes on taxonomic treatment of the other Taiwanese non-Ectropis species.

Notes on Two Lepidopterous Species Attacking the Galls of Schlechtendalia chinensis (BELL) (Aphididae) on Rhus javanica L.

A pyralid, Assara korbi (CARADJA), was found to attack selectively the galls of Schlechtendalia chinensis (BELL) on Rhus javanica L. in autumn. The larvae ( sometimes pupae) seemed to overwinter inside the galls and to emerge in the next spring. However, the life cycle from spring to early autumn still remains unclear. Eucoenogenes japonica KAWABE (Tortricidae) was confirmed to be a borer in the shoot of Rhus javanica in spring and summer, and an aphid-gall feeder in autumn. The overwintering stage was suggested to be mature larvae outside the gall. The host for these two species was first recorded from Japan.

Males of Brenthis daphne iwatensis from Bibi, Hokkaido are characterized by 2n, 24- and n, 12-karyotypes (SAITOH et al., 1985). Its meiotic chromosomes were examined again with adult males collected at Hamakoshimizu, Hokkaido, to confirm the haploid chromosome number established for the Bibi males. Thus, the Hama-koshimizu males of this subspecies were also found to have an n, 12-karyotype (Figs.1-3); 153 spermatocytes in metaphase (metaphase I, 86; metaphase II, 67) were observed on three males.
