 dupuyi. dupuyi Oberth. — Inversely, in melusina Oberth. the white colour is entirely absent in the forewing and there 

 mehtsina. \^ Q^Ay a little yellow tint in the red. — Small specimens are called pygmaeoides Black. 



venusta. To carniolica Scop. — al). venusta Schultz is a very beautiful variety," bright red in colour with a 



drasiichi. broad yellow belt. — In drastichi Hirschke spot 3 of the forewing is reduced to a light dot or is entirely 



tricolor, absent. — tricolor Oberth. is a transition to arnoena in which the dark ground-colour is superseded b}^ white. 



vangeli. — vangeli Aign. is an aberration in which the spots of the forewing have no white edge, while the .abdomen 



bears a red belt. — 



P. 30. To carniolica ab. amoena. As the specimens figured on plate 8 e, f are really only tran- 

 sitions to arnoena Stgr. we give another figure, of a more tj'pical .specimen, on plate 56 h. — To orana

 confluent and the light edges of the spots absent, also from Digne in South France, which is a locality

P. 35. Epicopeidae. 



K. GRtJNBERG (Deutsche Entom. Zeitschr. 1908) has compared the various characters of the Epicopeidae 

 with those of the other groups of_Heterocera, and thence has drawn the conclusion that the Epicopeidae should 

 be placed between the Saturniids and the Uraniids. 

 • 



Subgenus Epicopiopsis GrUnb. 



Dr. K. Grunberg also proposes to separate the northern species E. mencia Moore and E. hainesi Holt. 

 from the genus Epicopeia and to place them in a new genus, Epicopiopsis, which is characterised as follows : 

 Spurs of middle and hind tibiae slighter than in Epicopeia; stripes of scales between the veins entirely ab.sent; 

 while in Epicopeia the fifth subcostal of the forewing originates very close to the stalk of branches 2, 3 and 4, 

 rather far from the upper radial, in Epicopiopsis subcostal 5 closely approaches the upper radial [mencia) or 

 is even stalked with it (hainesi); lastly, the hindwmg of Epicopiopsis is really tailed, while in Epicopeia it is 

 only more or less lobed m tail-shape. Dr. Grunberg admits, however, that these characters are variable and 

 therefore only of relative value, they are most strongly developed in hainesi and less prominent in mencia, so 

 that the latter species is more or less hitermediate. I am therefore of the opinion that this group of .species 

 should only be considered a subgeniis. 



P. 36. I. 18 from top, behind caroli add (10 b). 



A. Janet. 



P. 38. To Syntotnis phegea L. A form with the vitreous white spots larger and more numerous 

 fenestraia. is described by Ramme as fenestrata (Inter. Entom. Zeitschr. Guben 5, p. 103 (1911)). — In ab. seminigra 

 seminuira. gp^i there are spots on the hindwing, but not on the forewing. 



iricingulaia. P. 39. To Syntotnis antiochera Led. — tricingulata C'nl. probably belongs to antiochena, the last 



3 abdominal segments bear yellowish white belts; described from Beyrut. 



L. 11 from top for cocandina read cocandica. 



minuta. To Syntomis caspia Stgr. — minuta Bang-H., from Transcaspia, is allied to caspia Stgr., but is smaller, and 



instead of the small white spot at the base of the forewing has a rather large rhombiform patch with sharp corners. 



P. 39. 1. 4 from bottom add (9 f) behind tnasoni. 

 niffricauda. To Sytomis germanta Feld. Myake gives the name ab. nigricauda to Japanese specimens with the 



apex of the abdomen black (Annot. Zool. Jap. 1907, p. 161). 

 Insert here: 



jankowskii. Syntomis jankowskii Rothsch. From I-chang, resembles j)axa (9g), but the wings are more rounded. 



Frons blackish brown and patagia golden yellow (in paxa the inverse is the case). The yellow abdominal 

 belt on the basal segment surrounds the latter entirely, not only dorsally; vitreous spots lighter and clearer. 



Oi S.alicia Bull., which is figured in Vol. 14 of the Macrolepidoptera, a variety occurs on Palearctic 



mogadoren- territory which is called mogadorensis Blach. The markings of the forewmg of this species recall a large- 



***• spotted phegea; the entire basal half of the huidwing is hyaline white. Segments 1, 3, 4 and 5 of the 



abdomen are coppery red, the remainder metallic blackish blue. Discovered by Vaucher, it was caught in a 



locality which is nearer marakesh than magador.
