On new Pyralidte of the Subfamily Hydrocampiiife. 457 



Other species : C. simgorus. (Mus sungorus, Pall.) 

 Although C. sungorus was known so much the earlier, it is 

 only represented in the material available to me by a single 

 dried skin, in which the characters are not very clearly dis- 

 cernible. With both skins, skulls, and a spirit-specimen of 

 C. campbeUi for examination, I therefore think it advisable 

 to make that species the genotype. 



The position of Satunin's Cricetulwi roborovskii is not 

 clear, as his expression '' Die Sohlen sind diclit mit weisseiu 

 Haar bekleidet " is applicable either to a Phodopus or a 

 Cricttiscus.
