MOTHS OF MESOPOTAMIA AND N. W. PERSIA. 191 
24. Ecrropis BISTORTATA, Goeze. 
Phalzna Geometra bistortata, Goeze, Ent. Beytr., III (3), 488 (1781). 
Enzeli, Gilan, N. W. Persia, sea level, 19, 30th June 1919 (P. A. B.). 
Apparently not very different from our western forms. The range of these 
widely-distributed species in the Orient is not yet well ascertained, but Stau- 
dinger records it (presumably) under the erroneous name of crepuscularia from 
Armenia. 
25. GNOPHARMIA COLCHIDARIA, Led. 
Gnophos colchidaria, Led., Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. XIV., 39, 48 (1870). 
Menjil, N. W. Persia, semi-desert hills, 2,000 feet, 23 ¢, 26th and 28th 
March; 42 2, 26th, 28th and 29th March and 7th April 1919 (P. A. B.). . 
New for Persia but described from Transcaucasia. Unfortunately I have little 
materia! for comparison and the genus needs further study as regards geo- 
graphical variation. The form before me is’ darkish, with the contrasts 
of ground colour and bordering beneath not extremely pronounced. 
26. GNOPHARMIA COLCHIDARIA OBJECTARIA, Stgr. (?) (sp. div. ?) 
Gnopharmia colchidaria var. objectaria, Stgr., Iris V., 183 (1892). 
Qazvin, N. W. Persia, 4,000 feet, 1 ¢, 27th August 1919. 
Lighter and more variegated with reddish than the foregoing, the contrasts 
of the undersurface extreme. The latter distinction is probably more weighty 
than the former, as the response of the upperside to the immediate environ- 
ment is such a marked feature in the Gnophos group. 
27. ZAMACRA FLABELLARIA, Heeger. 
Amphidasis flabellaria, Heeger, Beitr. Schmett., p 6, f. 6-11 (1838). 
Mirjana, near Kizil Robat, Dyala River, 10 ¢ 5,6 2 2, 7th January 
1919 (H. D. P.) 
More variegated with white than my examples from Syria and on the 
whole rather large.
