(16) Euxoa hodnce (Oberth.). 



Agrotis hodnce, Oberthur, Etud. Entom. fasc. iii. p. 45, pi. v. fig. 8 

 '(1878) (Bou Saada). 



Oberthur afterwards sank his hodnce as an aberration of 

 smtv'fera, and so did Sir George Hampson in vol. iv. p. 177 

 of the ' Catalogue of Lepidoptera Fhalaense.' Now, however, 

 since large numbers of hodnce from Algeria have come to 

 hand, it is quite clear it is a distinct species. It differs 

 structurally from spinifera in having seriate, NOT pectinate 

 antennae. 



The ground-colour varies from dark cinnamon-brown to 

 whitish buff.
