the Carinthian Highlands. 345 



Size of At. infausta, but most nearly allied to At. statices. The pro- 

 cesses of the antennae are much longer, and not so close- set as in that 

 species. The front, thorax and abdomen have a number of fine gray 

 hairs standing singly, which are not found there. The head has a 

 bright golden gloss, set off by the contrast of the hairy body, while 

 the head and thorax appear of a uniform colour in statices. The pre- 

 sent species also is but half the size, and does not occur at a lower 

 elevation than 7000 feet. Found about the Pasterze in August, 

 hovering in the sunshine and sitting in pairs on flowers. 



A. pruni*. 



Zygoma minos**, on the highest alps as well as in the lowlands. 

 Z. scabiosce, achillece*. Z. exulans, in alpine meadows 6000 to 7000 

 feet high ; flying singly and not common. In August the specimens 

 were generally wasted. Z. meliloti, lonicerce, filipendulce** . Z. hip- 

 pocrepidis, a few specimens only in a coppice below Dollach. Z. an- 

 gelica?, peucedani, ephialtes,falcata, onobrychis*. 



Syntomis phegea*. 



Sesia apiformis, asiliformis, culiciformis, mutillaformis, tenthredi- 

 niformis**. 



Macroglossa fuciformis, bombiliformis* . M. croatica*, on the au- 

 thority of Freyer. M. stellatarum, amotherce*. 



Deilephila nerii, celerio*. D. elpenor, porcellus , galii, euphorbia?**. 



Sphinx pinastri, convolvuli, ligustri*.

 gentina, palpina, plumigera, dodoncea, chaonia*. 



Cossus ligniperda, cesculi*. 



Hepialus humuli*. H. carnus, said to occur at an elevation of 7000 

 feet. H. sylvinus*. H. ganna ; I found this rare moth flying in the 

 sunshine on the highest mountains of Carinthia ; from the rapidity 

 of its flight it is very hard to catch. It varies much. Time the 

 middle of August. 



Lithosia quadra, griseola, complana, aureola, rubricollis, rosea, 

 roscida*. 

 L. melanomos, n. sp. Alis anticis obscure fulvis nigro-punctatis, 



costis duabus nigris, posticis fuscis, collari et scapulis atris. 



Found in the immediate environs of the Grossglockner at an ele- 

 vation of 9000 feet. It appeared after a shower, flying 4 heavily and 

 solitary. The black collar and tippets, the wing-ribs black from 

 their origin, the sooty shade, combined with the locality, distin- 

 guish it from L. roscida, to which it comes near in appearance as 

 well as size. 

 L.freyeri, n. sp. Alis omnibus pallide helvaceis, anticis angustis, 



seriebus tribus punctorum minimorum. 



Also found on the Carinthian alps, fluttering heavily in the sun-
