L. pt. (= carpini Schiff., pavoniella Scop., pavnanculus Betz.) (31 a), from Central and Nortliern Europe east- 

 ward to Amurland. J: hindwing above orange, forewing below deep chrome-yellow. $: red subapical spot 

 of the forewing below not reaching the upper radial, the light submarginal band proximally bounded by a 

 more or less distinct blackish line. The following aberrations from the normal, some only very slightly 

 different, have received names. In ab. makropis Schultz the ocelli are elongate, nearly twice as large as in makropis. 

 normal specimens; in ab. reducta Schultz they are reduced, about half as large as usual, and in ab. obso- reducia.

 to the upper radial also beneath. The upperside of forewing is slightly more yellowish in the ^ and both nieridiona- 

 wings of the $ are on the whole more reddish than in Central-European species. Specimens from the Riviera 

 are best placed with this form. The name ligurica was used by Weismann for larvae from the environs of 

 Cxenoa, which moulted once oftener than German larvae and were all entirely green in the last stage, ab. 

 steffanellii Rostagno are specimens of meridionalis. sieffanellii. 



Hybrids of the species of Saturnia and Eudia. The hybrids with pyri are distinguished by a spur 

 on the fore tibia, which is absent on those crosses which are only dciived from spini and pavonia.

 occur in this hybrid in both sexes, are hybr. ab. emiliae Standf.

Tongue quite aborted; palpi in the (^ distinctly prominent, colouretl like the frons, but more smoothly 

 hairy, segments 1 and 3 short, 2 long, 3 strongly narrowed basally and the scaling at the apex of 2 forming 

 a sort of cavity ; in the 9 much shorter, the scaling rougher. Shaft of antennae with ventral middle keel pro- 

 duced apically on each segment, sense-cones seem to be entu-ely absent; all the segments of o with 4 jjrocesses, 

 the distal ones of each segment being distinctly shorter and slenderer than the proximal ones and standing so
