Hadena {Apamea) aslcoldis, Oberth. Etud. d'Ent. v. p. 72, pi. iii. 

 fig. 13 (1880). 



Apamea nivalis, Bull. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1881, p. 177. 



One example, coll. Pryer. 



In A, asl'oldis, Oberth., the ground-colour is greyish and the 

 patch from costa a brighter brown than the same character in 

 A. nivalis, Butl. At the same time the disposition of the lines and 

 other markings is identical in both insects ; therefore I have con- 

 sidered them forms of one species. I should remark that the 

 markings are similar in character to those of Ophiogramma from 

 Europe.
