Almost equally common with the last in all Northern 

 and Central Europe, and certainly the true species de- 

 scribed by Linne, according to the tyjDO in his collection. 



Wings with a slight brownish tinge ; markings macu- 

 late (not fasciate) , the apical spot moderate (varies very 

 greatly in number and intensity of markings) . The 

 third abdominal segment (c?) is strongly produced in 

 the middle of the apical margin above; the sixth scarcely 

 longer than the seventh, truncate at the apex ; seventh 

 and eighth cone-shaped ; appendices of the terminal 

 segment short, flattened, dilated and truncate at the apex. 



5. Panoepa gibbeeosa, n. sp. (PI. lY. fig. 5). 



Montenegro ( S ) and Isle of Tinos ( $ ) . Taken by 

 M. Erber, and sent by him to the Baron de Selys 

 Longchamps, who has submitted it to my examination. 



A species evidently allied to P. germanica, yet de- 

 cidedly distinct ; in size rather larger. In the S the 

 wings have a faint yellowish tinge ; in the basal half are 

 one or two indistinct dots ; at the pterostigma is a large 

 quadrate blackish-brown spot, and a dot below it, and the 

 apex is also blackish-brown. The third abdominal seg- 

 ment is produced, in the middle of its apical margin above, 

 into a large rounded hump ; the sixth longer than the 

 seventh, formed as in P. germanica ; the seventh and 

 eighth equal, conical ; appendices of the terminal seg- 

 ment formed somewhat as in P. germanica, but longer ; 

 the apex oblique, produced at the inner angle, and after- 

 wards very slightly excised ; beyond the apex of each of 

 these appendices is to be seen the point of a large crotchet 

 which underlies them (this is also evident in P. germa- 

 nica, but less conspicuously) . 



The $ , from Tinos, which I consider to pertain to the 

 same species, has the wings more strongly marked ; the 

 basal spots are larger, that at the pterostigma smaller,
