 and small black transverse striae, more indistinct in the darker portion. One fifth away from the outer margin 

 a black transverse band. Hindwing blackish browai-grey with darker cloudy transverse striae. Antennae very 

 long, black. Length of forewing 37 mm, expanse 82 mm. — Karagaitan. 



H. dilutior spec. nov. ^ similar to consohrinus , but the ground-colour reddish sandy yellowish and in 

 the basal two-thirds all coarser markings are absent, so that this part of thewmg appears to be only covered with 

 narrow transverse striae; the outer cruciform transverse Imes are less strongly developed and not distinctly 

 cross-shaped. Antennae much longer and thinner than in consohrinus, extending beyond the middle of the 

 costal margin. Length of forewing 27 mm. Kyssyl. 



H. murinus spec. nov. ^ pure yellowish mouse-grey; forewing with indistinct brownish grey dots at 

 the outer margin and at the costa; before the outer margin a shght mdistinct brownish transverse luie, m the 

 centre of the wing a few dark grey smears between the veins. ? lighter grey, marginal spots darker, more 

 strongly developed, the transverse luie before the outer margin shaq>ly dark brown, extending from the apex 

 to vem 3, the smears in the middle of the wing developed to form a more or less sharp brown transverse band. 

 Length of forewing 24 mm. — Syr Daria. 



H. musculus spec. nov. (J$ mouse-grey; thorax covered with black scales. Forewing densely suffused 

 with black scales and transverse striae. Length of forewing 15 mm. — S>t Daria. 



H. puengeleri spec. nov. ,^. Similar to difficilis, upperside pure white with brownish yellow markings, a 

 median band composed of spots placed close together, costal and outer marginal spots brownish yellow. The 

 forewing is dusted with small brownish yellow elongate dots. Hindwing pure white with yellowish margmal 

 dots. In the $ the markings are much larger and more strongly developed, and more yellowish grey-brown. 

 Length of forewing of J 15 mm, of $ 17 mm. — Transcaspia. 



Hypopta. 



H. tekkensis Alph. Greyish brown, forewing of (J with chequered outer margin, a white spot beyond 

 the cell, a large white spot on vein 1 and a white band between veins 2 and 6. The $ has the forewing 

 uniformly greyish brown with chequered outer margin and a few dispersed small whitish dots. Length of fore- 

 wing 17 mm. — Transcaspia. 



H. sunibannus ^4//)/;. Similar to tekkensis, but with much more strongly developed white markings, 

 so that the grey colour of the wmgs is reduced to three partially connected broad transverse bands. Length 

 of forewing of (^ 15 mm, $ 19 mm. — Transcaspia. 



I*ar«>pta. 



P. confusa spec nov. $. Distinguished from Johannes at first glance by the brownish grey, not white, 

 hindwing. and by the dark markings of the forewing consistmg not of transverse striae, and reticulate black 

 lines of dense straight transverse rows of small dark dots. Length of forewing 24 mm. — Below Sary-mat 

 (iScrafshan). 



D^'spessa. 



D. albina spec. nov. $: Similar to aculeala Turati, but smaller. Pure milky white. Length of forewing 

 15 mm. — Baldshuan (Turkestan). 



D. curta spec. nov. Distinguishable by the short stumpy shape, as well by the extraordinarily stout 

 body and convex rounded outer margin of the forewing. Ashy gi'ey; a dark grey, oblique transverse band run- 

 ijig inward from before the apex to the origin of vein 2; a broad whitish grey band at the inner side of this band. 

 Rows of dark grey spots at the costal and outer margins. Length of forewing 17 mm. — Prov. Kuliab (Af- 

 ghanistan). 



D. affinis spec. nov. Similar to knbylarin Bang-Hnns, but on the foreM'ing almost the entire median cell, 

 a large smear on vein 2 and a large spot with brown median streak on vein 1 are white. — Karagaitan.
