APLECTOIDES; ANOM.OGYNA. By W. Waeeen. 59 



X. brunneago Stgr. (13k). Forewing rufous ochreous, suffused with brownish; lines brown, single, brunneago. 

 the outer dentate; stigmata brown-edged: the claviform small and narrow; reniform with lower lobe dark; 

 hindwing ochreous, tinged with fuscous externally. Tibet, Kuku-Xor and Amdo. 



29. Genus: Aplei'toides Btlr. 



Frons smooth; antennae of cf typically ciliated; separated from Ehyacia by the foretibiae being 

 only slightly spined and on the inner side only. A genus of alpine and arctic species, of which only two 

 are palaearctic, all the rest, the type A. condita Guen. included, being N. American. 



Section I: Antennae of <? with strong pectinations nearly to apex. 



A. propitia Piing. Almost exactly like A. speciosa Hbn., but much smaller; the reniform stigma propitia. 

 narrower and more hollowed out, the outer line less strongly dentate; distinguished at once by the pectinated 

 antennae. Described by Pungeler from a good pair from Kuku-Nor, Tibet. 



Section II: Antennae of <? ciliated only. 



A. speciosa Hbn. (= schoenherri Guen., nee H.-Schaff.) (13 i). Forewing whitish, black-dusted, a short speciosa. 

 black basal streak; inner and outer lines double, white with black edges; claviform stigma grey, black- 

 edged: the other two pale grey with white black-edged borders, the orbicular elliptical; a row of black 

 teeth before submarginal line; hindwing greyish, with traces of discal spot and two grey outer lines. The 

 palaearctic localities for this species are Germany, Switzerland, Scandinavia, and Russia in Europe, and 

 Mongolia in Asia. — The form obscura Freij (13k) from Switzerland is blackish, with the white of the obscura. 

 lines and stigmata conspicuous; — arctica Zett. (13k) from Lapland and aegrota Alph. from Mongolia are arctica. 

 both small, the former suffused with grey, the latter pale; — janae Herz from N. Siberia is smaller, like aegrota. 

 aegrota, but darker, as in obscura, some examples being almost black. — Larva shining brown, with black J anae - 

 mottling above, the ventral surface greenish ; dorsal and subdorsal lines white, with a row of oblique forked 

 streaks between them; lateral lines yellowish; on Vaccinium and other mountain plants. 



30. Genus: Anomogyna Stgr. 



Like Aplectoides in build and appearance, but the foretibiae are altogether without spines, and those 

 of the middle and hind tibiae are fine. — A genus of arctic species, dubiously distinct from Eurois Hbn. 



Type A. laetabilis Zett. 



A. laetabilis Zett. (= schoenherri H.-Sch., distensa Ev.) (13 k). Forewing dull brownish grey, the laetabilis. 

 basal and terminal areas and the upper stigmata paler; lines and edges of stigmata blackish; orbicular 

 roundish, open above; hindwing dull whitish, dusted with grey, especially towards termen, with dark cellspot 

 and traces of two grey outer lines. Scandinavia, and Finland. — ab. minor Herz from N. Siberia is smaller minor. 

 and paler than the type form; the cfcf with 'broader rounder forewings and the ?? with the apex subacute. 



A. obliterata Zett. (18 a). Differs from laetabilis Zett. in the forewing being much more rounded in shape obliterata. 

 and coarser in scaling; the marginal shade not so dark on forewing and absent altogether on hindwing, 

 which is uniform grey brown. Lapland. 



A. sincera H.-Sch. (= zelleri H.-Sch.) (13 k). Forewing brownish grey with dark irroration; a short sincera. 

 black streak from base; stigmata with black outlines, the two upper large and pale; submarginal line 

 preceded bj- black streaks, the two beyond cell being prominent; hindwing dusky grey. ■ — Mountains of 

 Switzerland, Germany, Scandinavia, and Finland; Amurland. — In the form rhaetica Stgr., occurring in the rhaetica. 

 Alps, the whole forewing is browner. 



A. albuncula Ev. (= subgrisea Stgr.) (13k). Forewing bluish grey with dark irroration; a sinuous albuncula. 

 black streak from base; lines obscure, defined by bluish white; claviform stigma small, black; orbicular and 

 reniform bluish white, black-edged; hindwing pale fuscous. Siberia. 



A. gelida Sp.-Schn. (= comparata Sp.-Schn., nee Moeschl.) (14 a). Forewing fuscous grey, a black gelida. 

 streak from base below cell; claviform long, with black edges, which are continued as a black streak to 

 outer line: orbicular stigma large, edged with pinkish and then with black; reniform a diffuse pinkish patch; 

 hindwing ochreous-whitish. Xorway and Sweden; Lapland; X. Siberia. — The ab. mevesi Auriv. has both mevesi. 

 wings brownish, the forewing without the pinkish patch on reniform. 



A. vega Herz. Forewing elongate, ashy grey; the lines only plain towards inner margin; orbicular vega. 

 stigma with pointed ends, reniform with yellowish brown centre, both sharply outlined with black; two black 

 -dashes before outer margin, and a thin black streak from base; hindwing uniform pale grey, darker along 

 -termen. X. Siberia.
