glebicolor. 



daishi. 



sub- 

 marginata. 



D. glebicolor Ersch. (35 b). Forewing greyish yellow, overlaid with olive fuscous suffusion; lines 

 thick, blackish; inner waved, and projecting below median vein, with a yellow tinge before it; outer line 

 followed by a yellow space, outcurved above, incurved below median, then vertical; reniform a distinct blackish 

 spot; submarginal line preceded by dark grey shading and followed by yellowish; fringe slightly mottled; 

 hindwing greyish ochreous with sometimes a faint reddish tinge; a dark cell spot, outer line, and submarginal 

 shade; underside glossy ochreous grey, with distinct black cellspot in hindwing. W. and E. Turkestan; 

 Amurland. 



D. daishi Alph. Forewing redbrown; lines black; the inner waved, vertical; the outer excurved 

 above, then oblique; stigmata marked only by a quadrate black interval; subterminal line marked by a slight 

 shade below costa; hindwing redbrown, with pale fringe. Setchuen, W. China. 



D. submarginata spec. nov. (35 c). Like D. rasilis, but with the yellow spaces more marked, especially 

 the edging of outer line towards costa; the underside of both wings is glossy ochreous, but with a broad well- 

 defined dark marginal border, which shows itself on the upper side also, especially of the hindwing. A single 

 in the Tring Museum from between Osch and Tjsgent, Turkestan, July — August. 



54. Genus: Rhyiicliaglaea Hmps. 



Tongue well-developed; palpi long, porrect, the second segment somewhat hairy below, the third 

 long, porrect, and spatulate; vertex and frons thickly tufted; pectus and femora woolly; thorax and abdomen 

 smooth; antennae of q cihated. Type Bhynchaglaea scitvla Btlr. 



scitala. R- scitula Btlr. $. Forewing dark purplish-brown in median area, rufous with many striae in the 



basal and outer areas; inner and outer areas double, filled in with rufous, wavy and dentate; upper stigmata 

 small, with rufous outlines; submarginal line pale, preceded by dark suffusion at costa and some tooth-shaped 

 brown marks below, the terminal area beyond it, except at apex, purple brown; hindwing brownish-fuscous; 

 $ paler, the ground colour being ochreous brown to bright rufous. Yokohama, Japan. 



lepida. R. lepida BHr. Forewing shining rosy brown; inner and outer lines slender, irregularly dentate, blackish; 



orbicular and reniform stigmata conjoined with a black basal streak below median vein; a bisinuate submarginal 

 series of brown spots with pale edges; hindwing fuscous, darker towards termen, with the fringe pale. Japan. 



55. Genus: Eupsilia Hbn. 



Tongue present; palpi short, second segment hairy, third, small and smooth. Antennae of $ with 

 sessile fascicles of cilia; vertex and frons strongly tufted; pectus and femora hairy; thorax and abdomen smooth, 

 except a slight crest on prothorax; abdomen laterally fringed; wings with termen crenulate. Larva feeds up in 

 early summer on various trees; the imago emerges in autumn and hybernates. The larva is active and of carni- 

 vorous habits. Type Eupsilia satellitia L. 



satellitia. E. satellitia L. (= transversa Hufn.) (35 c). Forewing grey brown, with deeper suffusion; inner and 



outer lines fine, and more or less erect, the inner straight, the outer waved; a bent median shade, one before 

 the inner line, and another close beyond the outer; submarginal line pale, interrupted, preceded and followed 

 by dark shades; claviform and orbicular stigmata obsolete; reniform in the type form orange yellow, with a 

 white dot above and below it; fringe concolorous, preceded by pale marginal lunules; hindwing fuscous brown. 

 Linne's type form, showing a ^yellow reniform with two white dots, especially in combination with the grey brown 

 ground colour, is decidedly rare; as a rule, when the reniform is yellow, the tendency is for the upper, and 

 often the lower also, of the two dots to become yellow also; when all 3 spots are deep reddish orange we have the 

 form brunnea Lampa (35 c) ; albipuncta Strand (35 d) is the form with white reniform, in which the dots also 

 are always white; the term rufescens Tutt, in which the ground colour is more or less rufous-tinged, would apply 

 to the more ordinary European form as well as to the British. Larva velvety brown black; dorsal and sub- 

 dorsal lines obscurely paler; spiracular line swollen on segments 1, 2, 5, and 11 into snow white spots; head 

 pale brown; polyphagous on trees and shrubs. Throughout Europe, and found also in Asia Minor, Armenia, 

 W. Siberia, and W. Turkestan. 



tripundata. E. tripunctata Btlr. (35 d). Forewing violaceous grey, with a purple gloss; the lines dull chocolate brown; 



the submarginal indicated only by the brown shade preceding it; reniform stigma and the spots at each end 

 twice the size of those in satellitia, creamy white, sometimes yellowish-tinged, especially the upper of the two 

 smaller ones; hindwing brown grey, with the costal area pale. Japan. This appears rightly a distinct species 

 from satellitia. 



quadrilinea. E. quadrilinea Leech (35 d). Forewing pale rufous tinged with violet grey; the lines rufous, nearly 



erect; subbasal reaching submedian fold, as usual; the inner and median slightly inbent on submedian fold; 



brunnea. 



ulbipuda. 

 rufescens.
