COSYMBIA. Addenda. By L. B. Prout. 151 



C. sympathica Alph. (= albilineata Btgr.) (5 c). That these two names represent the same species is sympathica. 

 quite certain from the entire descriptions, the locality, the figure of sympathica and the example of albilineata 

 lent me by Herr Pungeler. The fact that ALPiuauKY placed it in Timandra and SxAunrNGER in Zonosonia ( = 

 Oosymhia) is probably accountable for the duplication. Forewing not very broad, apex acute, distal margin 

 appreciably bent in middle; reddish brown or ochreous, the veins sometimes darkened, the lines yellowish 

 white, the first curved, the second on the forewing nearly straight, slightly oblique, on the hindwing more 

 curved; discal dots white, scarcely dark-ringed; median shade entirely wanting. Under surface paler, weakly 

 marked, first line wanting, discal dot expressed on the hindwing only; the forewing is somewhat darkened in 

 the basal region. The type was taken in the Kuldja district on the G"" April, Staudinger described from 

 3 cfcf 2 ?? from Margelan, one dated 25'^ August. The specimen before me is from Kuldja. Staudinger's 

 Catalog only gives Ferghana and the Hi district as localies. Narrower-winged than the other species, except 

 maderensis; the angle in the distal margin of the hindwing pronounced. I have not seen a d" hindleg and 

 think it not impossible it may be 4-spurred, as Alpheraky implies; if so it would belong to the genus 

 Traminda Saalm., which it closely resembles in shape and facies, but which is not otherwise known from the 

 Palearctic Region. It is apparently somewhat variable in colouring. A light specimen before me shows 

 rather strong dark shading distally to the first line and proximally to the second, and moderately strong dark 

 circumscription to the discal dots. 



Note. Several new species which have been detected during the progress of this revision, and after 

 the plates containing the Acidaliinae had been arranged, are necessarily left unfigured for the present. It is 

 hoped, if space be available, to figure them later.

to p. 63, A. margineptmetata: 



ab. argillacea ah. nov. Ground-colour strongly sandy-ochreous, about as in rubellata, the usual dark argillacea. 

 markings well expressed. Six specimens bred by me from eggs laid by a ? taken at Constnntine, Algeria, 

 all show the ochreous colour more pronounced than usual (thus either a hereditary tendency or an adaptation 

 to some local environment), two being so very extreme that the form is clearly worthy of a name, the rest 

 transitional. 



to p. 79, A. ornata: 



var. paucisignata Krausse is almost entirely white, only an indistinct dark blotch persisting in each paucisig- 

 wing near the hinder angle and the hindwing with a distinct black discal dot. Occurs in the mountains of ""^*- 

 Sardinia, at an elevation of about 700 m.

to p. 119: 



Pt. incalcarata Chrit. Under this name Chretien has just described (February 1913) a new species incalcarata. 

 from Digne, very near to attenuaria Bbr. in appearance but without spurs on the cf hindtibia and thus be- 

 longing structurally in the vicinity of infiriiiaria Rbr. It may further be distinguished from attenuaria by its 

 relatively broader forewing, with costal margin a little more rounded towards apex, the apex less produced, 

 distal margin less oblique; lines more sinuous, more scalloped, the subterminal less straight, more macular, 

 the black border less continuous; antenna less thick. Egg ellipsoid, with about 14 furrows, their margins 

 forming thick raised longitudinal ribs. The larva feeds on withered leaves and undergoes three moults at rather 

 regular periods of 8 or 9 days, the final stadium lasting longer; shape "recalling especially that of aquitanaria" 

 (which is therefore evidently known to the French entomologists, although I have found no published infor- 

 mation), much attenuated anteriorly and thick behind, strongly carinated laterally and with the surface finely 

 granulated, the granulations forming a series of lines, dark greenish grey, darker still at the incisions, 5'*' ab- 

 dominal lighter, prothorax and mesothorax tinged with rosy; tubercles rather large, pale yellow, with a black 

 point in the middle, which gives rise to a very short, clubbed hair. Pupa light yellowish brown, the wings a 

 little darker, with the veins conspicuous. The moth is at least double brooded, occurring in May and August, 

 but in captivity a further brood was reared in November, from August eggs.
