P. 97. To Preparctia. — This genus now contains throe species instead of two. The third species, 

 hannyngtoni Humps, is figured in Vol. 10, on plate 19 a; it is not Palearctic. 



P. 98. To Arctia dido Wagn. — The egg globular, yellow, becoming grey before the larva emerges. 

 The latter has been described and figured by Lucas and Joannis: when full-grown it is about 4 or 5 cm long, 

 dark brown with black head and dense black tufts of hair. The hairs are rather short behind the head, becoming 

 gradually longer dorsally until on the four last abdominal segments they are as long as in the larva of our 

 A. cajn. From June until the following spring, when it pupates, the chrysalis being black brown. 

 Arctia caja orientalis Moore; cf. figure in Vol. 10, plate 24 i.

 According to later communications from Herr Baetel C'allim. philippsi is certainly a distinct species. 

 IMoreover, it is in facies more like a dominnla than a quadripunctaria, but the light spots of the blackish green 

 forewing are quite different in shape. The type is in the collection of Herr Philipps in Cologne.

P. 124, I. 5 from top. — According to Bang-Haas the white form (albida), from Karagaitan, is 

 quite distinct from true cretacea.

P. 132. To O. flavipalpata add that, accordmg to Bang-Haas, a darker form occurs in Egypt. 



P. 136. A form with very strongly contrastmg colouring, dark olive green forewing and bright 

 yellow hindwing has been sent to me by Herr Bang-H^vas. It belongs to the very variable Euproctis nipho- 

 vis; we figure it on plate 56. 



P. 137, 1. 1 from bottom, behind E. argentata delete (23 b). 



P. 144. A very large form of TJiaumatopoea from South Eastern Europe, the largest Palearc- 

 tic form of the family, is figured on plate 23 c and e; it was sent to me by Herr Baxg-Haas, named extrema. extrema. 



P. 152. To Trichiura crataegi L. K <^ from Sajan, sent to me by Herr Bang-Haas is very differ- 

 ent from European specimens in colour, being dark bluish green (not yellowish brown). Assuming this to be 

 the case in all specimens from that locality, I name the form scythartim subsp. nov. scyiliarwn.

P. 156. Lasiocampa quercus L. — Dormal, in Rev. mens. Soc. ent., Namur, vol. 10, 1910, p. 2, 

 describes a small form from Namur as ab. pusilla. The only distinguishing character, a considerable difference pusilla. 

 in size, scarcely justifies a special name. — The name ab.-^ femini-colorata Niepelt (Intern. Entom. 

 Zeitschr. Guben, 5 (1911) page 186) must be sunk, as it has afterwards been discovered that the specimens 

 were artificially discoloured.

 half of forewing yellowish white to the margin, slightly dusted with grey close to the fringes; basal area of 

 wing light grey or more rarely bright light brown. Hindwing also lighter in accordance with the colour of the 

 forewing, as in L. davidis. According to Stertz the species varies considerably, especially in the ^ sex, from 

 bright light grey or greyish blue to dirty leather-yellow.

 Colour of both wings pure yellowish white with obsolete or entirely obsolescent bands; the small white discal 

 spot absent. — Accordmg to Stertz (I.e.) L. davidis is very variable, changing from predominantly yellow- 

 ish white to yellow and brownish pink. According to the same author as well as according to a communi- 

 cation in lit. of Herr Paulus, Secretary to the German Consulate at Jerusalem, the (J and $ figures on plate 

 26 a described as palaestinensis represent L. davidis, while the figure marked davidis (plate 25 f ), represents
