This insect is near to Lithosia gigantea, Oberth., from Isle of 

 Askold, but it has a black head, and the costal streak is not con-

Butler's M. pulchra and his M. mactans are not two species, but 

 sexes of the same species. 



In the description of M. pulchra reference is made to four series of 

 black dots ; the first and third series are said to be well defined and 

 arched, and the fourth composed of small linear dashes. No direct 

 mention, however, is made of the second series ; neither is there any 

 indication of four series of black dots in the figure of this insect. On 

 the other hand, three distinct lines of black spots are found across 

 the discal area of the figure representing M. mactans, and in the 

 description of that insect reference is made to a series of longitudinal 

 streaks exterior to the third line. These streaks of M. mactans and the 

 small linear dashes occupying a similar position in M. pulchra, forming 

 the fourth series of dots in that insect, are simply modifications of a 

 marking which in its entirety is a character sometimes found in one 

 sex, and when interrupted or broken up an occasional feature of the
