MONIMA. By W. Wareen. 91 



M. miniosa /■'. (22 d, e). Forewing sandy rufous, black-speckled, median area generally deeper miniosa. 

 rufous: lines browner, edged with pale, the outer dentate-lunulate; stigmata with yellowish outlines and 

 grey centres: submarginal line rufous and yellowish: hindwing white, rosy-tinged along termen; cellspot, 

 outer line, and veins sometimes well-marked ; -- rubricosa Esp. nee F. (22 e) is the form in which the red of the rubrkosa. 

 median area is most emphasised; — pallida Tutt (22 e) [3] is greyish ochreous, with hardly a vestige ot rufous: — pallida. 

 in virgata Tutt, while the basal and marginal areas are grey, the median space is rufous. — Larva pale virgata. 

 or dark blue grey; dorsal and subdorsal lines yellow; the sides black with a yellow spiracular line, marked 

 with a white spot on each segment; head whitish with coarse blackish mottling; on various trees. Occurs 

 in Britain, France, Germany, Scandinavia, Russia, Bulgaria, Italy, and Corsica; also in Asia Minor. 



M. stabilis View. (= cerasi F., cerasus Haw.) (22 e). Forewing reddish grey, more or less dusted stabilis. 

 with dark: inner and outer lines blackish, indistinct; orbicular and reniform stigmata ringed with ochreous; 

 submarginal line ochreous preceded by a fuscous or rufous shade; claviform mostly unmarked; veins to- 

 wards termen pale : hindwing grey, the fringe paler. The species varies according to the amount of red 

 present; — ab. pallida Tutt (= grisea Spul.) (22 e [6], f [6]) is pale grey, sometimes with an ochreous flush; — pallida. 

 obliqua 17//. is darker grey with markings clearer; — suffusa Tutt (= stabilis Hbn.) is an equally well- obliqua. 

 marked blackish grey form; of these grey forms the second only obliqua 17//. is common; -- on the other su ff usa - 

 hand when the red tints predominate we get the form rufa Tutt (22 f), which is also rare; - - in junctus rufa. 

 Hair. (22 f) the upper stigmata, usually separate, are cohaerent; this accidental connection occurs in all the J unctus - 

 forms occasionally: — in ab. nifanmilatus Haw. (22 f) the stigmata are edged with, and the submarginal rufannulatus. 

 line is coloured rufous instead of ochreous; --in subsp. japonica nor. (22 f) from Japan the veins of fore- japonica. 

 wing are not pale, and the hindwing shows more clearly a dark dotted median line ; the apex of forewings 

 is more acute. — Larva green thickly dotted with yellowish white; all the lines yellowish white; anal seg- 

 ment with a yellowish white cross bar; head green, with black spots; on numerous shrubs and trees. 

 Occurs in Central and Northern Europe, Britain, Scandinavia, France, Germany, Switzerland, Russia; also 

 in Asia Minor and Syria; it has been recorded also from Portugal. 



M. stenoptera Step: (20 g). Forewing pale redbrown, darker, more fuscous, terminally; all the lines stenoptera. 

 yellow, also the edges of stigmata, which are smaller and narrower; hindwing brownish ochreous. Ussuri, 

 Amurland. 



M. pulverulenta Esp. (= cruda Tr.) (22 g). Forewing grey brown, dusted with dark grey and pulvemlenta. 

 reddish atoms: inner and outer lines marked by black spots on veins; submarginal line pale, indistinct; 

 upper stigmata dark grey edged with pale and then with rufous ; hindwing dull grey. Like stabilis, which 

 it resembles in coloration, it varies according to the amount of red shown; — thus pallida Tutt is a very pallida. 

 pale grey form without red , but sometimes slightly ochreous-tinged ; — pusillus Haw. (22 g) is a darker pusillus. 

 grey form without red admixture ; — nanus Haw. is like the typical form , reddish grey, but paler ; — nanus. 

 rufa Tutt (22 g) is a rarer, reddish form; — lastly, ambigua Hbn. represents a dark redbrown or grey- rufa. 

 brown insect with the lines and markings well shown.. The species has nearly the same distribution as ambi S ua - 

 stabilis. — Larva yellowish green, sometimes brown; dorsal and subdorsal lines fine, yellowish white; 

 spiracular line broader and yellower; anal segment with a yellow cross bar; spiracles white with black rings; 

 on oak, maple, and various other trees, living between leaves spun together. 



M. fausta Leech (22 k). Forewing ochreous grey- or dull red-brown , more or less strongly dusted fausta. 

 with darker: inner and outer lines marked by dark vein dots; submarginal line indistinctly pale, but 

 preceded by a row of dark spots between the veins; upper stigmata with slight pale rings; hindwing dark 

 fuscous. Japan. The termen of both wings appears more decidedly crenulate than in other species. 



Section IH: Antennae of cf 1 with tuberculate fascicles of cilia. . 



M. odiosa Btir. (22k). Forewing dull dark brick red dusted with lilac grey scales; lines hardly odiosa. 

 visible, marked by pale scales; upper stigmata deeper red, with slender pale outlines, the orbicular round; 

 submarginal line followed by lilac grey scaling forming a blotch in a sinus between veins 4 and 6; hind- 

 wing grey, with traces ot cellspot and submarginal shade, sometimes reddish-tinged. Japan; Kiu-shiu. 



M. incerta Hufn. (= instabilis F., trigutta Esp., nebulosus Haw.) (22 h). Forewing grey, varied incerta. 

 with fuscous dusting and striation, and often more or less tinged with rufous; inner and outer lines, where 

 visible, marked by dark dots on veins; submargmal line variable, sometimes obscure, at others pale, and

 cross lines; — coeruiescens Tutt with the ground colour pale bluish grey; — subsetaceus Haw. (22 i) subsetaceus.
