S ? . Paler than the preceding, body as well as wings ; the brown border of 

 the mesothoracic tegulae faint, in ? barely indicated ; the discal streaks of the

 brown scales on the middle segments. The insect resembling in the grey colour 

 more small pale specimens of pinastri than calig. caligineus ; stalk of SC^ and R^ 

 of hindwing shorter than in calig. caligineus. 



S . Tenth sternite less obviously sinuate than in the preceding race, the lobes 

 therefore mnch shorter. Clasper more rounded apically, shorter ; the processes of 

 the harpe (PI. XXXVIII. f. 13) shorter, the upper one not curved upwards at end, the 

 lower one much narrower. Apical lobe of penis-sheath very mnch shorter than 

 even m pinastri pinastri, agreeing in length nearly with II. oberthueri.

 tibiae almost without spines ; spurs short, the long apical one of hindtibia about 

 one-third the length of the first tarsal segment ; this about as long as the four 

 others together. Stalk of SC^ and R^ of hindwing half as long as D-. Forewing 

 much more elongate than in any of the allied species. 



6. Tenth abdominal tergite elongate, slenderer than in caligineus, slightly 

 dilated before end, with the edge somewhat notched, shortly hooked at end 

 (PI. XXVII. f. 4, ventral view ; f. 5, side-view), underside deeply hollowed out ; 

 sternite longer than in the allied species, sinuate, the two lobes slender, snbconical, 

 somewhat curved dorsad at end. Clasper similar to that of caligineus, more rounded 

 than in pinastri ; harpe (PI. XXXVIII. f. 15) very characteristic, with two short 

 distal processes, se])arated by a rounded sinus, the upper process with one or more 

 marginal teeth, the lower one snbconical, pointed, sligiitly curved, narrower and 

 shorter than the upper. Penis-sheath produced into a short process which is 

 rounded at end and scarcely curved (PI. XXVIII. f. 4S).
