 3, 4, 5 closely approximated at base, 7 out of G near origin, anastom- 

 osing with 8 to middle. 



A development of Phlyctcenia ,- the single known 

 species occurs from Western Europe to Eastern Siberia. 

 Lederer has accidentally misprinted Hiibner's name, 

 which is as above.

A development of PhlycUenia : there is but one species, 

 which ranges from Central Europe to Eastern Siberia.

A development of Pldtjctcenia ; the single species is 

 known only from South-east Europe. Lederer founded 

 the genus Calanwchrous for an American species, and
