Hindwing pale ciunamon yellowish grey, a shadow stigma and median line 

 slightly darker. 



Ab. stijfusa ab. nov. differs in having a chocolate snbbasal line, a chocolate 

 line in place of the line of minute dots beyond second chocolate patch, and between 

 this line and the termen being entirely suffused with bluish slate-grey. Hindwings 

 brighter cinnamon. 



Ab. fasciata ab. nov. has forewing dark cinnamon-brown, and has the two 

 chocolate patches replaced by two complete chocolate bands. 



Ab. griseola ab. nov. has the forewing suffused with grey, the chocolate 

 patches much smaller and duller, a subterminal whitish line and the postmedian 

 line double and strongly marked, outwardly white, inwardly chocolate. Hindwing 

 wood grey. 



Length of forewing 11-14 mm. ; expanse 25-31 mm. 



I received 13 specimens from September 1912-1913 collected by Faroult. 



197. Oria musculosa (Hilbn.). 



Noclua nmsoulosa Hiibner, Samml. Em-op. Schmett., Noct. f. 363 (1808) (Europe). 



I received from Victor Faroult 101 specimens taken in May and June 1913.

Synia myocha Bambur, Cat. Syst, Lei), -'l'"'"^. pl- 6. f. 3 (18.08) (Andalousia).

199. Oria striata (Stdgr.). 



Argyrospila striata Staudinger, //■(.<, vol. x. p. 265. pl. iv. f. 4 (1897) (Chellala). 



Sir Gteorge Hampson and other authors have identified as this species quite 

 another insect, which Sir George described as Timora albida in 1905, and which 

 I captured in numbers at Bordj Ferjan in 1909 and Ain Sefra in 1913. Apart 

 from the other very striking differences, that insect has strong claws on the fore- 

 tibiae, which are entirely absent in Oria striata. 



Faronlt sent 195 specimens from May and June 1913. 



200. Aegle vespertalis (Hiibn.).

 dated May and June 1913.
