THERAPI8: P8EUD0PANTHERA. By L. B. Prottt. 343 



H. henricaria Ob. (= macronata Stgr.) (18 c) is doubtfully referred by Staudingee to this genus, hmricaria. 

 Palpus quite short. Forewing with 1st and 2nd subcostals free. Much smaller than fluviaria, long- winged, 

 somewhat recalling an Osicerda, but with straight costal margin. Colour variable, brown or grey, upper sur- 

 face of forewing very weakly marked, hindwing and underside unmarked; a somewhat oblique postmedian 

 line runs towards the apex, is acutely angled above the 1st radial and reaches the costal margin not much 

 beyond the middle; the 3 costal spots are not always present. Algeria. 



81. Genus: Thcrapis Hbn. 



Differs from Hypoxystis in the prominent face, longer palpus, pectinations of antenna not reaching 

 to the apex, less elongate wings, the forewing with the 1st and 2nd subcostals free; the hindwing with an 

 excision between the 2nd subcostal and 3rd radial. Only one species known. 



T. flavicaria Schiff. (18 c). A conspicuous species, bright yellow with the lines weak, but the ioie- flavicaria. 

 wing with 5 prominent costal spots, dark terminal mark from apex to 3rd radial and dark postmedian 

 blotch at hindmargin. Only with Pseudopanthera syriacata could it at first glance be confused and the wing- 

 shape, the (J antenna and the underside (which has strong dark red postmedian band and on the forewing 

 apical clouding) are distinctive. — Egg oval, red. Larva rather short and stout, tapering to the small head ; 

 greenish, with oblique white lateral stripes. On Lamium, Galeopsis and other low plants. Pupa brown, 

 the cremaster with a long central spike and on each side a hooked bristle. The moth is double brooded, 

 May and July, 2 ad brood specimens smaller and more brightly coloured. Local in S. E. Europe, Trans- 

 caucasia and N. Persia. 



82. Genus : Pseudopautliera Hbn. 



Differs from Therapis in the less prominent face, shorter palpus, simple (J antenna, more regular wing 

 margins and very generally in having the 1st subcostal of the forewing anastomosing with the costal. But 

 himalayica is intermediate in shape, face and palpus and the triangulmn group in face and palpus. A small 

 genus, Palearctic and N. Indian. 



"t] i ! j Ps. himalayica Koll. (= annomosaria Walk.) (18 d as himalaica) is distinguished from the following himalayica. 

 by its bent distal margins and large spots at middle of costa of forewing and hindmargin of both wings. 

 Dharmsala and Sikkim. 



Ps. syriacata Guen. (18 c). Upper surface similar to that of Therapis flavicaria (see above). Vndev syriacata. 

 surface very coarsely irrorated almost throughout, discal spots large, lines thick. Syria, Asia Minor and Meso- 

 potamia. 



Ps. macularia L. (18 c). Easily known by having the lines or bands altogether broken up into large, macularia. 



irregular spots. Underside the same. — • Only in ab. transversaria Krulik, are the spots, at least on the fore- transvers-^ 



wing, joined into bands. — In ab. viridimaculata CkU. the spots are olive-green. — ab. albicansOfe. has the ground- ^.i^j^^^^a-" 



colour whitish. — ab. quadrimaculata Hatchett is a rare form with the spots obsolete except the 4 at costal culata. 



margin of forewing. — ab. fuscaria Stgr. (18 c) is another rare form, fuscous throughout. — meridionalis Galvagni, albicans. 



from Gorz and the Southern Tyrol, has less black dusting, the black spots small. — Larva smooth, green, with ' cidaia. 



white Unes and stripes. On Teucrium and allied plants. The pupa hibernates. Moth in May — June, flying fuscaria.

Ps. corearia Leech (= disparata Stgr.) (18 c as coreata) differs from the other species in its browner corearia. 



colour and in its scheme of markings, showing on the forewing a strongly curved or bent antemedian line and 



on both wings a bluntly elbowed postmedian closely preceded by a dark shade; a subterminal series of 



dark spots usually developed. Ussuri district, Korea, E. China and Formosa. 



Ps. (?) invenustaria Leech (18 d) differs in neuration, all the .5 subcostals being on a common stallr. immtusia- 

 cj unknown, $ antenna subserrate. Scarcely yellower than Hypoxystis pluviaria and entirely without markings. "*'■ 



Korea: Gensan. 



Ps. triangulum Ob. (19 a) and the 3 following form a natural group, with longer wings, 1st sub- triangulum. 

 costal of forewing free. Paler yellowish than flavaria, hindwing whitish. As in all the group, the underside 

 has the veins and a coarse irroration or strigulation bright ferruginous-ochreous. Ta-chien-lu, W. China. 



Ps. flavaria Leech (18 c) is more yellow and lacks the dark streak along the base of the hindmargin flavaria. 

 of forewing. W. China: Chow-pin-sa and Pu-tsu-fang.
