Sect. III. Antennae of 3 serrate only. 



C. vaulogeri Stgr. (24 f). Forewing brownish grey with black dusting; slight black streaks in base of vaulogeri. 

 cell and submedian fold; the veins blackish; inner and outer lines double, both inangled strongly on submedian 

 fold and joined by a short black streak; upper stigmata quite small, pale, with dark centres and outlines; sub- 

 terminal line pale and broad, preceded by a dark suffused band; hindwing pale at base and along inner margin, the 

 rest of wing and the veins fuscous. Algeria. 



C. diffluens Stgr. (24 f). Forewing dark grey; the basal half of the median area filled with blackish diffluens. 

 fuscous; lines black; the inner oblique and sinuous; the outer bisinuate, angled basewards on both folds; upper 

 stigmata small and grey, with dark centres; hindwing rufous fuscous, the basal area paler; — ab. versicolor Stgr. versicolor. 

 is smaller, with the basal and terminal areas of forewing tinged with ochreous. The type form from Spain; the 

 aberration from Algeria. Larva reddish; lateral lines above the feet broadly yellow; some fine lateral streaks; 

 on seeds of Helianthemum. 



C. yvanii Dup. (24 f). Much like vaulogeri Stgr., the inner and outer lines similarly incurved and connected yvanii. 

 on submedian fold; orbicular and reniform stigmata very small, with fuscous centres and greyish annuli, sepa- 

 rated by a diffuse brown median shade; submarginal line grey, obscure, whitish and oblique at costa; fringe 

 brown in basal half, chequered in outer; hindwing fuscous, the base paler; — korbi Stgr. is paler, without the black korbi. 

 streak in base of cell of forewing. S. France and Spain. — Larva yellowish white, the lateral lines red, the 

 dorsal line dark, interrupted; feeding on seeds of Helianthemum. 



C. marocana Stgr. (24 f). Forewing bright redbrown, the veins slightly darker, basal area dusted with marocana. 

 fuscous; a slight black streak in base of submedian fold; lines indistinct; the inner oblique, the outer angled 

 inwards on both folds with dark suffusion beyond it ; subterminal line pale and dentate ; a pale lunule with dark centre 

 on discocellular; fringe redbrown, the tips only chequered; hindwing fuscous brown in terminal half, pale 

 towards base. Morocco. 



15. Genus: Amephaua Hmps. 



Tongue present; palpi upcurved, the 2nd segment hairy, 3rd long, spatulate; frons with a corneous 

 prominence with raised rim, the lower edge produced to a shovel-shaped process, as in Ammetopa; forewing 

 with costa slightly concave, the inner margin sinuous, the anal angle produced with a tooth of scales; head, 

 thorax, and abdomen rough-haired. — Type Amephana anarrhini Dup. 



Sect. I. Antennae of $ bipectinated. 



A. warionis Oberth. (24 g). Forewing bright green, dusted with fuscous, more thickly towards termen; ivarionis. 

 lines white, the inner biangulate, the outer indistinct; a white lunule on discocellular, and a white median 

 shade below middle; subterminal line angled and forming streaks along veins to termen; fringe chequered, 

 white and fuscous; hindwing fuscous, paler towards base, and with a curved whitish median band. Algeria. 



Sect. II. Antennae of <$ simple, lamellate. 



A. anarrhini Dup. (24 g). Forewing pale olive-ochreous, tinged with rufous before inner and beyond anarrhini. 

 outer line, the median area brownish grey; lines black, angulated irregularly on veins, the inner preceded and 

 the outer followed by an ochreous line; veins black in outer area; an obscure whitish lunule on discocellular; 

 fringe chequered, white and olive-brown; hindwing olive-brown, the basal area and fringe whitish. S. France 

 and Spain only. 



A. aurita F. (= dejeanii Dup.) (24 g). Forewing pale grey, suffused with dark olive-fulvous, aurita. 

 especially before inner and beyond outer line; lines white, finely edged with black brown; the inner outcurved 

 above, and inangled on, submedian fold; the outer strongly incurved below median vein; reniform stigma 

 triangular, dark brown, edged with white, most strongly at lower end; veins towards termen dark, edged on 

 each side with powdery white; fringe chequered olive and white; hindwing brownish fuscous, paler at base. A 

 mediterranean species found in S.France, Spain, Italy, and Greece; in Asia Minor; and Algeria. — Larva pale 

 yellow; dorsal line finely dark, subdorsal lines red and white; spiracles black on yellow lateral blotches; feeding 

 on Helianthemum, eating the flowers and seeds. 



16. Genus: Omphalophana Hmps. 



Distinguished from Cleophana and Amephana by the frons having only a small rounded prominence 

 with a corneous plate below it. Type Omphalophana antirrhinii Hbn. 



Sect. I. Antennae of <$ with short, clavate serrations.
