HETEROGRAPHA; HETEBOMMA; HERAEMA. By W. Warren. 



decipiens. 



narrow olive centre; reniform with broader brown centre; two white blotches in basal area, above and 

 below median vein; fringe olive chequered with white; hindwing whitish, overlaid with olive grey, with 

 large dark discal lunule, dark outer line and submarginal band. W. and E. Turkestan. 



Sect. II. Antennae of <$ with fascicidate cilia. 



P. decipiens Alph. (= sajanus B.-Haas) (42 b). Forewing olive brown; a tuft of white-tipped scales 

 at base, and two white streaks reaching inner line; inner and outer lines wavy, dentate, conversely edged 

 with white; claviform stigma white-ringed, long and acute; orbicular and reniform with white annuli; sub- 

 marginal line white, wavy, indented on both folds; fringe brown mottled with white; hindwing olive brown; 

 the fringe pale. E. Turkestan, Mongolia, E. Siberia. 



17. Genus: Heterographa Stgr. 



Tongue well developed; irons smooth; palpi smooth and short; antennae of $ filiform; thorax and 

 abdomen smoothly scaled, without crests; forewing with termen even; of dull and sombre colouring with 

 dark broken markings of unusual pattern, whence Staudinger's suggested name. Type H. zelleri Christ. 



zelleri. H. zelleri Christ. (= mira Stgr.) (41 k). Forewing whitish, thickly grey-speckled; costa marked with 



blackish spots at the beginning of the lines and shades, which are all briefly interrupted along subcostal 

 area; inner and outer lines double, fine and black, filled in with pale; cell dark fuscous; the stigmata pale, 

 with darker centres; claviform short, pale pointed, with a black shade beyond it; area between outer and 

 submarginal lines dark fuscous, deeply indented beyond the folds by the pale terminal area, the edge of 

 which is the submarginal line; marginal lunules black; hindwing dark fuscous, paler towards base, with 

 dark cellspot and dark pale-edged outer line. Recorded from Persia, W. Turkestan, and E. Turkestan. 



puengeleri. H. puengeleri Bartel (41k). Differs from zelleri in being more uniformly darker grey; a black streak 



from base below cell, cut by the white subbasal line; inner line double, black, filled in with white instead 

 of grey; the outer line black, delicately filled in with white; orbicular and reniform stigmata grey with 

 white annuli and black outlines, both indistinctly projecting below median vein; the claviform black and 

 narrow; space between outer and submarginal lines dark fuscous, crossed by black lines both on the veins 

 and between them; submarginal line distinctly white, simply incurved beyond each fold; the narrow 

 terminal area grey; hindwing white, with fuscous cellspot and lunulate dentate outer line, beyond which 

 the terminal border is dark grey; fringe white. Palestine. 



18. Genus: Heteroiiima gen. nov. 



Differs from Heterographa Stgr. in having the lamellate antennae of the $ subserrate beneath, with 

 minute fascicles of short cilia; the forewing is narrower; the scheme of markings almost identical with that 

 of Polia proximo, which, however, has the eyes hairy. Type Heteromma alpigena Bsd. 



alpigena. H. alpigena Bsd. 9 {— meissonieri Guen. $) (41 k). Forewing dark grey, somewhat deeper in 



median area and with a reddish tinge; a black streak with white above it from base below cell; inner and 

 outer lines black, double, filled in with grey; claviform dark grey, edged with black; orbicular a long 

 flattened oval, white-ringed, with fuscous in centre; reniform stout, extending below median vein, with 

 fuscous centre and white annulus; the cell between them dark fuscous; submarginal line obscure, with some 

 terminal black streaks beyond it; fringe grey, with a bright white line at base; hindwing white, with grey 

 cellspot and veins, a blackish marginal line, and indistinct submarginal. S. E. France, Algeria.

19. Genus: Heraema Stgr. 



Tongue present: frons smooth; palpi obliquely porrect, second segment hairy below, third short and 

 broad; antennae of $ ciliated; thorax hairy with very slight crests; abdomen smooth; tibiae hairy; Avings 

 short and broad; veins 6, 7 of hindwing stalked. Type Heraema mandschurica Graes. 



H. mandschurica Graes. (41 k). Forewing pale brickred or greyish pink; the median and terminal 

 areas brown; inner and outer lines slightly darker brown, the former waved and vertical, the latter lunulate 

 dentate; the brown median area is interrupted by a diffuse oblique band of ground colour from costa 

 beyond inner line to outer line on submedian fold, and sometimes also on inner margin; submarginal line 

 represented by the edge of the dark terminal area, slightly marked with pale scales at costa, where it is 

 preceded by a brown costal blotch; orbicular and reniform stigmata hardly visible; fringe brown; hindwing 

 grey pink, suffused with brown, especially terminally, and with a dark brown outer line. Amurland.
