186 LUPEEINA. By W. Warren. 



line: elavifomi absent; upper stigmata yellowish white with brown grey centres; subterrninal line yellowish 

 white, n;i now, but continuous and touching both margins; terminal area hardlj- darker than the ground 

 colour; hindwing white, with a grey marginal line; underside of both wings whitish with a wavy grey line 

 near the outer margin. Antennae of the $ strongly crenulate. The above is Guenee's description made 

 from 2 examples from Boisduval's Collection, from the North Coast of France. It may be an aberration 

 of dumerilii. 



rubella. L. rubella Dup. (43 e). Forewing pale ochreous, washed with rufous: the lines, the central shade, 



the praesubmarginal shade, and the fringe rufous; inner and outer lines diffuse, the latter strongly dentate; 

 stigmata pale, the reniform with dark centre; separated by the broad rufous median shade; hindwing 

 "rkusia ^'bitish with a faint rufous tint; — dayensis Obertli., from Algeria and ? Pontus, is paler, greyer; — rhusia 

 Pueng., from Tura, is larger and darker; the forewing grey brown and rufous mixed. This may be a 

 distinct species. — Larva dark yellowish grey, greenish in front, redder behind; lines hardly expressed 

 except the pale broad lateral lines; at roots of grass. A South European species; found in S. E. France, 

 Switzerland, Dalmatia, Istria, Croatia; in Asia Minor and W. Turkestan. 



ferrago. L. ferrago Ev. (= caltheago Bsd.) (43 e). Forewing flesh-coloured ochreous. the terminal area, the 



median shade, and often the outer half of median area deeper; inner and outer lines ferruginous, conversely 

 lunulate dentate; upper stigmata of the ground colour with darker edging, the reniform with a pale annulus 

 and a spot of dark fuscous in lower lobe; submarginal line pale, indicated by the darker area beyond it 

 and preceded on costa by a diffuse cloud; hindwing pale yellow ochreous, sometimes flushed with rufous. 

 Occurs in the Ural Mts. in S. Bussia; in Armenia, Syria, Asia Minor: in W. and E. Turkestan, and in 



obsolelu. W. Siberia; — a distinct form, ab. obsoleta ab. nov. (43 e), from Naryn Ivol, Turkestan, is duller flesh 

 colour, without ochraceous tinge, and with scarcely any visible markings. 



rudicosa. L. radicosa Graes. (43 e). Forewing rufous ochreous with a dull grey suffusion; the terminal area, 



the median area to below cell, and a praeapical costal cloud dull brownish fulvous; lines as in ferrago: 

 claviform marked by a deep brown streak; orbicular indistinct, dull fulvous with paler annulus; reniform 

 brown at centre, with rufous annulus internally, and externally above, w'hitish below; hindwing dull 

 ochreous suffused with fuscous, darker along termen; cellspot and veins darker. Eecorded only from 

 Pokrofka, Amurland; a pair from Uralsk, (sent by M. Bartel as? sp. nov.) appear to be referable here; 

 these are of the same size as ferrago, and smaller and duller than hedeni; head and thorax dark brown, 

 not bright rufous. 



hedeni. L. hedeni (iraes. (43 f). Larger than radicosa, dull greyish brick red, with the dark tints as in that 



species; stigmata and lines the same; hindwing darker, showing also a dark outer line; head and shoulders 

 bright rufous. Also from Amurland. 



terrugo. L. terrago Alplt. (43 f). Forewing greyish rufous; the terminal area and a diffuse median shade 



darker; inner and outer lines fine but obscure; no claviform; orbicular and reniform paler, but very in- 

 distinct, except the blackish spot in lower end of the latter: hindwing dull rufous grey, paler towards base. 

 Eecorded from Siberia, the Sajan Mts., and Kamschatgar; also from the Sassamyr Mts., Ketmen Tjube. 

 Closely allied to ferrago, but the hindwing grey instead of yellowish. 



subaquila. L. subaquila (iraes. (43 f). Nearest to radicosa, but the ground colour dull olive ochreous; the basal 



and terminal areas olive brown; the lines and stigmata much as in dumerilii, but the orbicular is rufous 

 tinged; the claviform marked by a dark brown streak above, as in hedeni and radicosa; hindwing dull 

 greyish ochreous, with the veins, cellspot, outer line, and submarginal 'shade darker. Eecorded from 

 Eaddefka, Amurland: also from the Apfelgebirge, Transbaikalia. 



lira ria L. vicaria Pueng. (43 f). Forewing dark grey; the cell and submedian interspace darker; veins 



broadly pale; claviform dark grej- edged with black, continued as a black streak to outer line; orbicular 

 and reniform white outlined with black; submarginal line pale preceded by dark wedge-shaped marks bet- 

 ween the veins; a row of black marginal lunules, cut, like the fringe, by the pale veins; hindwing fuscous, 

 darker at termen, with cellspot and veins dark; fringe whitish. The $ has the white markings more 

 developed. W. Turkestan. 



iirimris L. acharis Pueng. Forewing ochreous white with slight brownish irroration; lines very indistinct, 



double, marked with blackish at costa and faintly waved across wing; the subterminal line interrupted 

 into whitish spots inwardly defined by brown; a row of dark lunules at termen; stigmata faint, whitish; 

 the orbicular round, with slight brown outline; the reniform subquadrate, its inner edge fuscous; hindwing 

 whitish with pale brown suffusion; a row of dark terminal lunules from apex to vein 2; fringe white. 

 Eecorded from Aksu, Mongolia.
