uearly entirely under the stigma tiu that the following warts are 

 lying almost in one line, which also passes through the stigiim 

 and the middle of the leg. V. (hrsatis^ r. supnistigtnalis^ v, post- 

 stigmalisy v. infrastigmalis and p. hasalis. 



The other instars remain unchanged. 



Recapitulation. The wart-shaped tubercula bear in all in- 

 stars plumed setae. The pattern (Type I) is very simple and 

 hardly changes during the different instars. All the different 

 tubercula are about equally large. 



There is no v. dorsolateral is. V. poststujmalU is shifted a little 

 under the stigma, r. infrastigmaliH is situated on a low level. 



Spiloitoma {Ocnogyna) lubricipeda Linn. Plate IV, fig. 6. 



Entirely as Arctia ciya^ but in the beginning the setae are 

 not feathennl. V. poststigHtalis is also shifted from under the 

 stigma. The setae on the leg are very densily feathered. On the 

 ventral side mediad of the leg a tuberculum without setae = v. 

 centralis occurs. 



In instar IV a linea dorsalis is present. 



Family Syntomidae. The verrucae completely agree with type I, 

 but there is only one verruca on the mesothorax and metatho- 

 rax over r. prostigmalis. This only occurs in the Pericopidae. 

 The veri^cae change a great deal in form, size and number. 

 Fracker (1915, p. 118) found that segment 7 has the same pat- 

 tern as the other abdominal segments. The setae are plumed and 

 often form pencils. Mostly secondary setae. 



Coll. Kall. no material. 



Family NoUdae. Fracker puts this family (1915, p. 98) with 

 the Lacosoinidae as Microlepidoptera of uncertain position after 

 the ZYGAENOID series. The caterpillars bear verrucae which 

 remind us of those of the Arctiidae. 



Family Agm-istidae. Fracker (1915, p. 114) examined different 

 kinds and comes to the conclusion, that it is right to unite this 

 family with the Noctuidae. This harmonizes with the fact that 

 Handlirsch (1 908) places these families close together.
