CUCULLIA. By II'. Warren. 107 



C. linosyridis Fuchs. Like dracunculi, but darker, more iron grey; but along with the darker forms Unosyridis. 

 there also occur paler examples heavily powdered with white. - - Wiesbaden, W. Germany, and Sarepta, S. 

 Russia. — Larva earthy grey, with darker lines, and the lateral line almost white; feeds on Chrysocoma 

 lin'osyris: fullfed nearly two months earlier than anthem idis. Both this and the preceding species are by some 

 considered to be only forms of dracunculi. 



C. pullata Moore (27 b). Forewing brownish grey, with some darker irroration; lines indistinct; the pullata. 

 inner dentate as usual, the outer visible only in the lower half; stigmata likewise indistinct, the orbicular in- 

 completely outlined with black, often reduced to 4 dark points, the reniform marked above by a slight dark 

 line and below by a curved streak; a black streak above vein 4, with a series of slight brown streaks above it; 

 hindwing white; a broad terminal black band, of which the inner edge is waved and bent outwards at anal 

 angle; a large black lunule on discocellular connected with a black costal streak. W. China. The species 

 was described in the first instance from the Punjab, N. India. 



C. santolinae Pi nib. (= wredowi Costa) (27 c). Like lactucae but smaller and with narrower wings; santolinae. 

 characterised by the whitish patch in the region of the stigmata and a whitish blotch between the jnner and 

 outer lines on submedian fold; veins and a submedian streak finely black; a curved dark streak below end 

 of cell represents the reniform stigma : a black streak above vein 4 and a shorter one below vein 2 before termen ; 

 hindwing uniformly brown. A South European species found in S. France, Switzerland, Andalusia, Corsica, 

 Italy and Algeria; recorded doubtfully from Mongolia and W. Turkestan. — Larva dirty green or reddish, with 

 some white spots representing the dorsal line; on each segment at the sides some violet streaks; venter pale 

 with black wavy lines; head pale; feeds on Artemisia arborea. 



C. tecca Pueng. (27 b). Forewing rather short, greyish white, with fuscous brown shadings, the lines teeca. 

 brownish along costa; some brownish dashes in the intervals before termen; veins finely black; a fine black 

 streak from base along submedian fold through outer line, meeting a black line from termen below vein 2; a 

 whitish patch on submedian fold between the angles of the two lines; orbicular stigma obsolete; reniform with 

 a curved black line at its lower edge; some black and white streaks from apex to vein 4; hindwing brownish, 

 with paler base; the <J seems to be generally whiter in ground colour, with less suffusion, and the shadings 

 and markings more distinct. W. Turkestan, Aschabad; Palestine, Jerusalem. 



C. inderiensis H. Sch. (27 c). Forewing dirty whitish, almost wholly overlaid with dull greyish fus- inderiensis. 

 cous; the lines only visible below middle; veins towards termen finely black, the intervals with long whitish 

 streaks; a strong black curved line from base along submedian fold outlined with pale scales; reniform stigma 

 represented by some ochreous and whitish scales; hindwing smoky grey, with darker veins; the termen darker. 

 — Ural Mts., S. Russia, the Kirghiz steppes, and Issykkul in W. Turkestan. — Larva pale bluish-green; 

 dorsal line yellowish green, narrow; segmental incisions yellow; dorsum finely and thickly marbled with white 

 edged by fine white subdorsal lines; spiracular line broadly white; head pale green with 3 small black points 

 on each side; on Artemisia dracunculus, feeding in spring, and fullfed in June; the imago appearing from 

 November to January. This extraordinary inversion of the usual relative times of appearance of larva and 

 imago rests on the statement of Christoph, Stett. Ent. Zeit. 1893, p. 33. 



C. praecana Ev. (27 c). Forewing pale grey, the shadings darker; costal beginning of the oblique praecana. 

 lines marked more strongly on the subcostal vein; veins black before termen; a black streak from base below 

 cell; cell pale greenish yellowish; the edges of the very obscure stigmata marked by dark points; an oblique 

 dark grey shade from below apex to below end of cell; a black streak before termen below vein 2; hindwing 

 fuscous brown, paler brown in basal half with a bronzy green sheen. Denmark, Germany, the Baltic provinces 

 of Russia, and the Ural Mts. — Larva golden green, the dorsum dusted with blackish green; dorsal line pale, 

 interrupted: subdorsal lines plainer, also pale; segments with reddish brown blotches on each side of dorsal 

 line; the spiracles also on brown spots; head pearlgrey, marbled with green; on flowers and seeds of Arte- 

 misia vulgaris and abrotanum. 



C. campanulae Frr. (27 c). Forewing dark purplish grey; the strongly dentated inner line distinct campanulae. 

 throughout, the outer line only below middle; a black streak from base along submedian fold; a streak above vein 4, 

 from the outer edge of reniform stigma, which has its lower edge only margined by a curved black line ; a short 

 black dash at termen below vein 4 and a longer one below vein 2; hindwing dark brown, the base paler with 

 the veins dark. — ■ Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Russia, and Armenia; the records from S. W. France and 

 the Urals are doubtful. — Larva pearlwhite; dorsal stripe formed of oval yellow blotches; lateral line of small 

 yellow spots; some twelve black tubercles on each segment; head with dark spots; — on Campanula, especially 

 C. rotundifolia, devouring leaves and stems as well as flowers and seeds. 



C. lucifuga Hbn. (27 d). Resembles campanula, but the forewing is broader and darker, more mixed lucifuga. 

 with brownish; the stigmata with faint black outlines, which sometimes become obsolete; the reniform with 

 a curved black line at its lower end; the black streak below vein 2 before termen prominent, especially in the $;
