LÉPIDOPTÉROLOGIE COMPARÉE 17; 



62. Cymatopliora Intensa Huiler. — Chi ilie fint Part of a 

 Mcmoir h y Mans. Charles Obcrthitr on /lie Lepidoplera 

 of the Isle of Askold (Ann. and Magaz. of Natural I lis- 

 tory, 1881, 1, p. 234) (Lcpid. Hétér. of Bnt. Mus., 11, 

 i8;8, p. 21, PL XXVIll, Fig. i et 2). 



Mr. Butler avait décrit cette espèce, en 1878, sous le nom 

 à'Octogesïma; mais, trois ans plus tard, reprenant la même 

 question, il propose le nom à.' ïnlensa. que nous adoptons, de 

 préférence, à celui à' Angusiata employé par Staudinger. Voici 

 d'ailleurs, à ce sujet, l'argumentation de Mr. Butler {loc. cil., 

 p. 228 et 234). 



<( In the last livraison of his « Etudes d'Entomologie » (some 

 preliminary diagnoses for whicli were kindly forwarded to me 

 by the author late m 1880). 

 M. Oberthiir gives an account of 

 a collection of Lepidoptera re- 

 ceived by him from the Isle of 

 iVskold, Mantchooria. »

for the numerous careful figures 



which illustrate this memoir, it niust bc a cause for regret to ail 

 who study it that equal care has not been taken to avoid ihe 

 multiplication of synonyms... » 



« M. Oberthur's criticism of the lithographie drawing of this 

 species, being based upoii the supposition that he possessed my 

 species, falls to the grouncl. The species recognized by W'alker 

 as C. ocularis L., but b)' Dr. Staudinger as C. octogeshiia, seems 

 to me to be referable to Asphalta, not to C yriiatophora\ ncver- 

 theless it will perhaps be best to give the nome of C. intensa to 

 the Japanese species of this name, and thus save ail confusion. »
