is the type, and to have the acute angle at the margin of the basal 

 area, between nervures 1 and 2, more produced. 



Other Boanniidae {sens, lot.) are as follows : — Spilote {Abraxas) 

 pantaria, L., 2 from Escorial, 2 Albarracin, not variable ; this con- 

 spicuous species, which was so long reputed British, was originally 

 described by Linne from the Iberian peninsula (Portugal). 



Steijania tn'i)iaciilata, Y ill., one good specimen from Albarracin; 

 Macaria (Semiothisa) littirata, CI., one from Tragacete ; Nijchiodes 

 lividaria, Hb., one fine example from Cuenca ; Tcplirosia sepiaria, 

 Hfn., one from Tragacete somewhat badly crippled. 



In Sciadion (Gnophns) we have one S. obscurata, Schiff., from 

 Albarracin, fairly light in colour ; two rather worn specimens of the 

 varier/ata group, the one from Cuenca apparently S. mncidaria, Hb., 

 the one from Albarracin rather suggesting a small 5. varifr/ata, Dup., 

 but reminding me more of the Croatian than the southern French 

 form at the British Museum, yet in some degree intermediate. There 

 is also a series of S. rcspersaria, Hb. (Tragacete 8, Cuenca 1), 

 unfortunately all more or less worn, a species whose claim to a 

 position in this genus does not seem absolutely assured. As to the 

 aberrant little 8. aspcraria, Hb., which is represented by a single 

 example from Albarracin, it looks ridiculously out of place among the 

 "Annulets," and I prefer to record it as Bhoptria (Guenee, 1857) 

 asperaria ; Herrieh-Schjiffer actually placed it in the Larcntiidae, 

 Guenee in Fidonidae, and Meyricl\ has it in his very unnatural genus 

 Psendnpanthera. 



Of the pretty little Anthomctra plnunilaria, Bdv., which seems to 

 be confined to Spain, Portugal, and south-western France, there are 

 two males, characterised by their short and very strongly plumose 

 antennae, and one female, all from Tragacete; one Selidosema plumaria, 

 Schiff., also from Tragacete, apparently referable to the var. (ab. ?) 

 Pl/renamria, Bdv., yet not very unlike some of my least strongly dark- 

 bordered New Forest examples ; one Itamc {Tliamnonouia) rincularia, 

 Hb., from Cuenca, in good condition ; three /. (T.) raiioria, L., from 

 Tragacete, rather small in size, but not otherwise remarkable ; and 

 four normal Aspilotcs (/il vari a, SchiS., three <? s f rom Tragacete, one 

 $ from Cuenca ; these complete the list with the exception of one or 

 two odds and ends which have not yet been made out.
