On new Pyralidie of the Suhfaniily Ilydi-ocampin^. 457 



Other species : C. sungorus. (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. canipbeUi for examination, I therefore think it advisable 

 to make that species the genotype. 



The position of Satuuin's Cricetulwi rohorovsk'd is not 

 clear, as his expression '' Die Sohlen sind dicht rait weissem 

 Haar bekleidef is applicable either to a Phodopus or a 

 Cricetiscus.
