Lepidoptera of the Isle of Ashold. 235 



(type of Lithophane) differs generically from E. saga, which 

 I provisionally referred to the same genus. 



Ajmmea askoldis^ Oberth. Like A. opMogramma in 

 pattern. 



Miana arcta, Oberth. (nee Lederer) . =RapMa fasciata^ 

 var. ? 



Lederer's species is a true Miana^ so far as I can judge by 

 his figure. 



Miana parietum, Oberth. Probably =RapMafasciata^ Butl. 



This figure by M. Oberthiir does not represent the white 

 fringes to the tegulge and whitish metathorax of R. fasciata ; 

 but it does not appear to be very exact, the markings seem 

 blurred. 



Caradrina alhosignata^ Obertli. =Radinacra^ sp. close to 

 R. lineosa^ Moore. 



We have Moore's species from Tokei, which renders the 

 distinctness of C. albosignata a little doubtful ; still, if the 

 slight difierences noticeable in M. Oberthiir's figure are true 

 to nature, the species will stand. 



Caradrina cceca, Oberth. Described as a variety of the 

 preceding. We have a specimen of this moth from Tokei. 



Agrotis autumnalis, Oberth. 



Noctua stupens, Oberth. = Ochropleura near 0. musiva of 

 Europe. 



We have this species from Tokei ; it is of little more 

 than half the bulk of 0. stupenda; the name given is so near 

 to mine in sound that it is a pity it was used. 



Noctua liysgina^ Oberth. = Gra'pliiphora luhentia^ Butl. 



Toiniocampa awarice^ Oberth. ^= Semiophora^ sp. 



Dianthcecia admiranda^ Oberth. Near to Epia echii of 

 Europe. 



PliloQopliora pallens^ Oberth. ^Phlogophora periculosa^j 

 Guen.lfaded). 



M. Oberthiir says that this is without doubt the species 

 which I figured under the name of P. heatrix. If M. Oberthiir 

 had no doubt about this, why did he (knowing my description 

 was published probably before his specimens were caught) take 

 the trouble to rename it. If M. Oberthiir's figure is a good 

 one, P. pollens is, without doubt, not my P. heatrix ; it is 

 smaller, of a different shape, altogether paler and duller, and 

 the belt across the primaries is of a very different form. It 

 agrees exactly witli a pale specimen of P. periculosa in our 

 collection ; and this I believe it to be. 



Aplecta askolda, Oberth. Described as a variety of Eurois 

 nehulosa. 



E. imhrifera difiers from E. nehulosa much in the same way.
