DYSAUXES. By Dr. A. Seit/.. — Alphabetical List of the Palearctic Syntomidae. 



ragusaria. from South-East Europe and Asia Minor, the hindwing is hyaUne in the costal region; ab. ragusaria, 



which ZiCKEKT bred at Naples together with normal famuhi and servula, resembles hyalina in the almost 



(amula. entirely hyaline hindwing, but the spots on the forewing are absent. — In famula Frr., from Dalmatia, 



the Balkan Peninsula, and Asia Jfinor, the hindwing is paler and also hyaline in the costal region. The 



parvigutla. s])ots on the forewing, however, are small and incomplete. — In parvigutta Cltrist. (9 i), from Turkestan, 



viodesla. all spots on the forewing are reduced to minute, sometimes almost invisible dots. — In modesta Krul.. 



from South Russia, the spots on the forewing are of normal dimensions, but with a yellow tinge instead 



servula. of ivory. — servula Berce, from South Italy, France and Spain, has no spots on the forewing; — and in 



separata, the Mauretanian form separata Baxfj-H. (0 i), from Western Algeria, which I, however, also found in ilm 



Aures J\lts., the orange-coluur on th(f hindwing is, moreover, reduced to a l)asal spot liy the widening of 



the dark margin. — Larva rather unicolourous, more densely hairy, witli the warts Init slightly paler, 



on lichens on trees until June. The moths are common in South Europe; tiiey fly in .June and .Tnly 



on \ery hot slopes, and when on the wing resemble a small sawfly of the genus Nematus. 



ancilla. D. ancilla L. (= obscura F., quadrioculata Goeze, lemopicta Fourcr., tripunctata Scop.) (9 i). Much 



larger, the brown forewing has only two larger spots and one small isolated dot before the apex, no 

 discal spots; the hindwing is brown in the jj and a little transparent discally, in the $ spotted with 

 yellow on the disc. Central, Eastern and Southern Europe, from Belgium and France to the Ural Mts. 

 and Turkey, from Pomerania to Naples and Southern France. Larva Idackish with light warts, broad 

 yellow dorsal stripe and pale lateral one, hairs not very dense, but fairly long and in tufts, until June, 

 on lichens (Lichen, Jungermannia). Pupa reddish brown, in a loose cocoon. 'Ihe moths fly singly on 

 shad}' paths, at the edge of shrubs, and in hollow roads, and are very common on the Mediterranean 

 coasts, but often very rare in the northern districts of their area. 



syntomida. D. syntomida Stgr. (9 h). Fore and hindwing yellowish hyaline excejit lor the dark distal margin, basal 



area, abdomen and tegulae orange. Forewing with dark brown cellular spot. From ^lardin in Mesopotamia.
