48 CELAMA. Bv Dr. A. Seitz. 



crislahila. C. cristatula Hhn. (= cristulalis Him.) (10 f). A little smaller still than the preceding; a light 



line geneialiy nniri between the marginal and central areas, curving outwards towards the margin 

 behind the apex of tiie cell, following the outer transverse line. Chiefly in Central Europe, Germany, 

 subchlayny- \xii~triii, and Switzerland, northwards into Russia and southwards as far as Spain. — subchlamydula Sigr. 

 occur.s in South Europe, in Spain, Italy, Dalmatia and Greece; also found as an aberration in Baden 

 (Gauckj.er). In this form the forewing is shaded with brown, especially the central area, and sprinkled 

 minutalis. with small black scales. — minutalis Leech (10 g) is an Eastern form, described from Japan, with an 

 uniformly whit(* forewing and less distinct transverse hnes. It is perhaps better placed with the next 

 species. — Larva similar to that of cenionalis, violet brown or greenish with dark dorsal line running 

 across some V-shaped marks, and yellow warts bearing brown hairs. Until .Tune, on water-mint ami 

 Teucrium: the moths local but not rare, in June and July. 



"^^^'laUs' ^' chlamitulalis Hbn. (= chlamydulalis Tr.) (10 f). Forewing creamy white, with rather faint 



nuirkings; the marginal area dark with irregular edges, and traversed l)y light and dark lines. Hindwing 

 whitish, with grey curved shadows on the disc and before the margin. In South and South-East Europe 

 as well as in Asia Minor. Larva yellow with l)lack head, reddish dorsal line, and dark, wavy lateral 

 stripe, above and below which there are dark spots. In the autumn, on Odontitea lutea; the moths in April. 



Candida. C. Candida Biitl. (10 g). Wings of the (J more rounded. Forewing white with dark base and 



margin, and black-brown median band; hindwing almost clear white. The moth is very similar to a small 

 $ of Roe.^eUa albuJa. In the hght marginal portion before the outer margin there is a dark W-shaped 

 mark, and behind the middle of the forewing a dark dot. North China, Corea, Japan. 



aiifjiilata. C. angulata Moore (10 g). Very small, forewing white, slightly tinged with brown, especially at 



the costa and outer margin. Directly behind the base, before and behind the middle as well as before 

 t\u' margin there are dark transverse bands of varying width; hindwing very slightlj' tinged with brown, 

 especially at the costa. In Kashmir, but also distributed over the Himalayas and the whole of Anterior 

 India, as far as Ceylon. 



squalida. C. squalida Sfgr. {= musculalis Saalm., fraterna Moore, vanhasselti Heijl., ceylonica Hamps., des- 



niotes Tur)i.) (10 g). An extremely small, but very variable insect. Three transverse bands traverse the 

 lighter ground-colour, which is almost pure white in typical specimens; the first of these is near the base, 

 the second, which is lighter in the centre, crosses the median area and bounds it marginally, and a third 

 runs along the margin. However, the ground-colour of the forewing may be more or less dusted with 

 grey; only the outlines of the dark transverse bands may be distinguishable; a dark median spot may 

 bo hidden in the dark middle shadow, or may be quite distinct. If all the forms which Hampson places 

 in this species belong together, its area of distribution is very large, and extends over South Europe 

 (Spain) and Asia Minor eastward to the Pacific coasts of China and from Kashmir tliroughout India and 

 Austraha, over the Malay Ai'chipelago and tho South Seas; also over Madagascar. 



innocua. C. innocua Bull. {= costimacula Stgr.) (10 g). In this species the transverse bands of the forewing 



are replaced by costal spots; only the one before the centre is continued as a narrow line to the inner 

 margin, 'i'his line is more angulate at the median in specimens from the Ar.nir and Formosa than in 

 those from Japan. Amur, Formosa, Japan; caught in June. 



flexuosa. C. flexuosa I'ouj. (= sikkima Moore) (10 g). Larger and more unicolourous than the preceding; 



forewing dull leather-yellow to greyish yellow, the proximal median line strongly curved and bounded 

 basally by rows of brownish dentate spots, and marginally by light edges. Hindwing whitish in the (^, 

 dull brown-grey in tho $. j\Iupin in West China, also in North India. 



karelica. C. karelica Tengstr. {= arctica Schoi/., obsoleta Btr.). This species is said to have a white head 



and collar; abdomen slightly tinged with grey- brown. Forewing w^hite with the usual patches of raised 

 scales in the middle and at the end of the cell; a few costal dots near the base. The first transverse 

 line not reaching the inner margin; the outer one finely dentate. Hindwing whitish in the ^, dull and 

 inconspicua. -pah in the $. In Finland and South Waranger, on peat-moors. — In the form iticonspicua Alph. the 

 median portion of the forewing is suffused with reddish brown; from Kuldja. 



aegyptiaca. C. aegyptiaca Snell. (10 g). Scarcely more than half the size of flexuosa. Forewing dull reddish 



grej^ the basal i)ortion beneath the costa sprinkled with black. The outer portion of the forewing slightly 

 lighter; the patches of scales in the middle and apex of the cell dark. The outer line is composed of 

 black dots, encircling the apex of the cell, being broader from the median, dark brown, distinct, reaching 

 the inner margin beyond the middle of the latter three small curves. This outer line is edged with light 

 (listally. Another light line extends along the margin in irregular waves; a broad dark line runs over the 

 base of the fringes. Hindwing almost transparent, duller at the apex and margin. From Egypt. 



thymula. C. thymula Mill. (10 g). Grey, forewing slightly tinted witli yellowish brown, the marginal area clearer 



grey. The inner trans\erse band runs from the costa first in tlie direction of the outer margin, but then curved
