3l8 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXt. lHU. 



73. Euxoa spinifera (Hiibu.). 



Nortua spinifera Hiibner, Sainml. Europ. Schmett. Noct. f. 389 (1827) (Europe). 



Ten specimens, dated October and November 1913, were all I received from 

 Victor Faroult. 



74. Euxoa hodnae (Oberth.). 



Aijroliis hmhuie Oberthiir, EbuJ. Enlom. part iii. p. 45, pi. 5. f. 8 (1878) (Bou Saada). 



Sir George Hampson, in vol. 4 of the British Museum Catalogue, places this 

 species as a synonym of spinifera, and Monsieur Oberthiir aftervrards concurred. 

 But Sir George has now altered his opinion, as I think quite rightly. 



I have one specimen from Guelt-es-Stel, collected by Faroult on May 17, 11113, 

 and twelve others from July, October, and Novemlier 1912-1913. 



75. Euxoa christophi (Stand.). 



Ai/roli.t rhri.iliiplii Staudiager, Berl. Enlom. Zeitscin: vol. xiv. p. 110 (1870) (Sarepta). 



Eighty-four specimens were sent in by Victor Faroult dated October and 

 November 1912-1913. 



76. Euxoa radius (Haw.) (= puta Hiibn. et auct.). 



Bomhyx. radius Hawortli, Lep. Brit. p. 119 (1800) (England). 



Of this very abundant species innumerable variations occur, ranging from sandy 

 buff forewings with hardly any markings and white hindwings to black brown 

 forewings with light patch in cell and wood-brown hindwings. 



Faroult sent me 274 specimens from the months of March, October, and 

 November 1912-1913 ; and we took three ourselves in April 1912. 



77. Euxoa trux (Hiibn.). 



Noclna Inix Hiibner, Samml. Europ. Schmelt. Noct. ff. 723, 725, 770 (18215) (Europe). 



A large series from September and October 1912-1913 were sent by Faroult. 



78. Euxoa eos (Oberth.). 



Af/rotis nonslanti eos Oberthiir, Lepid. Conip, Fasc. vii. p. 672. pi. cxci. ff. 1840, 1840 (1913), 

 (Aflou). 



Sir George Hampson and I compared this insect with European constanti, and 

 we both came to the conclusion it was quite distinct. 



Faroult sent me 9 SS and 1 ? dated October 1912-1913. 



79. Euxoa constanti (Mill.). 



Agrotis consUtnti. Milliere, Iron, ct Desc. Chin. Lep. Ined. vol. i. p. 105, pi. 9. ff. 1,2 (Franco). 



This species differs at first sight from eos in the second postmedian line being 

 much straighter. The single specimen obtained by Faroult, October 7, 1912, has the 

 ground colour pale buff. 



80. Euxoa straminea sp. nov. 



t?. Antennae pale bufty brown ; head, thorax, and abdomen straw bnffy yellow. 

 Forewing narrow and truncated straw-yellow slightly washed with brownish
