KOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXt. 1H14. 



311. Compsoptera argentai'ia yaminaria (Oberth.) 



Ltjla yamhuiria Oberthlir, Etud. Enlom. vi. p. 84. pi. xi. f. 4. (1881) (Ben-Youb). 



This subspecies differs from the European a. argentarla by its larger size, by 

 the grey of the forewiiigs being purer and less washed with browu, and by the 

 pattern being much more strongly marked. The females are also almost entirely 

 grey, the median longitudinal band having much less brown than in the European 

 form. 



Victor Farouir, sent in GO c? c? and 73 ? ? from the month of October 1912 

 and 1913. 



312. Compsoptera jourdanaria (Vill.). 



Gfoineira Jiiiinlfinaria de Villiers, Ann. Snc. Linn. Pmis. vol. v. p. 480. t. 9, fig. 3 (1827) (France). 

 This species is quite abundant. Faroult sent in 49 c?(? and C~ ? ? from 

 October 1912, and September, October, and November 1913. It varies much in the 

 size and extent of the white markings. 



ARCTIADAE. 

 ITolinae. 



313. Celama squalida (Stdgr.). 



Nolii scpmlkla Staudinger, Berl Entom. Zeits. vol. xiv. p. lOi (1870) (Malaga). 

 1 S taken by ourselves, April 1912. 



laithosiauae. 

 314. Ilema (Lithosia anct.) interposita sp. nov. 



t?. Antennae whitish ; head and thora.x pale whitish grey ; abdomen pale 

 buffish clay grey. Forewing silvery white. Hindwing milk white suffused with 

 very pale bnify grey. ? . Similar. 



Length of forewing 17 mm.; expanse 37 mm. 



Type c?, April 22, 1912, W. R. and K. .1. 



We obtained 86 specimens of this species between April 17 and 22, 1912. 



Arctianae. 

 315. Epimydia libyssa (Piingl.). 



Eujn-epia libi/s.m Pungler, Soelet. Entom. xxii. p. 25 (1907) (Magenta). 



It is rather curious that Dr. Seitz says that Pungler's libyssa has an unspotted 

 abdomen, for the author himself distinctly says it has a median band of black spots. 

 It is evident that Dr. Seitz never studied this insect, or he could not have placed it 

 as a form of cribmna. It belongs to a quite different genus along with i/ialumpu 

 Stdgr. 



Victor Faroult sent 1 S from September and 2ii c? J, 1 ? from October 1913. 



The number of spots varies much on the forewings. 



31 c. Cymbalophora pudica magnifica subsp. nov. 



The Algerian race is generally easy to sejiaratc; it is mu( 

 pudica, and much more intensely suffused witii pink. 



larger than jn/i/livi
