It 10. Androzeug^ma hapala spec. nov. 



c??, 22-27 mm. Face and upper side of palpus orange; vertex and antenna 

 pale yellowish : occiput green. Thorax and abdomen green above, the latter with 

 yellow dorsal line. Foreleg reddish orange above and on inner side. 



Wings whitish green, closely irrorated with blue-green, the resultant tone 



about as in Xmochlorodes nubigena Woll. Foreiviiig with costal edge pale 



yellowish ; lines creamy whitish ; first line very indistinct, from costa before one- 

 fourth, oblique outwards to behind M, then bent and falling nearly vertically on 

 hindmargin ; postmedian line finely dentate, almost parallel with termen ; cell-spot 

 very small, yellow ; fringe yellowish. lUndiring similar, without first line. 



Under-snrface paler, unmarked ; costal edge of forewing yellowish.

I find this species has only two spurs on the hindtibia, thus not an Ompha- 

 codes. It probably may represent a new genus, the facies being altogether unlike 

 that of Allochrostes; but as the S is still unknown and the ? presents no very 

 .'salient characters, it must in the meantime be referred here. 



NOTES ON PALAEARCTIC ZYGAENIDAE. 



By Dr. K. JORDAN. 



IN Rom., Mi'm. Lip. iii. p. 170 (1887), Dr. 0. Staudinger described a new species 

 of Zj'gaenid from Amurland for which lie proposed the new genus Inope, 

 mentioning as chief distinguishing characters that veins 7 and 8 of the forewing 

 are stalked, the hindtibia bears two pairs of spurs, and the ? -antenna is quite 

 smooth. A second species of Inope from the same district was described as 

 I. impellucidu by (Jraeser in 1888 {Berl. Ent. Zcits. 32, p. 1U8), who also described 

 another semitransparent Zygaenid without markings as Norfinu idmivoi'a, I.e. 

 p. 107. When writing the descriptions of the Palaearctic Zygaenids for Dr. Seitz's 

 Macrolepidoptera of the World, I was not acquainted with these three species, 

 and, as all three were said by Staudinger and Graeser respectively to have two pairs 

 of hindtibial spurs, I united them under the generic term Lioiie Stand. (1887), 

 adding the rider under Clelca that the species of Inojie might possibly belong 

 to Clelea. 



Herr R. Piiugeler has been so kind as to send me for examination from his rich 

 collection some specimens of the above species, which confirm my doubt as to the 

 validity of Inope, though only partly in the anticipated direction. 



The statements as to structure in the original description of Inope heterogyna 

 are not all correct. The hindtibia bears only one pair of spurs, not two pairs, and 

 the ? -antenna is distinctly dentate, but the last two subcostals of the forewing
