230 BADINACEA; CALYMNIA. By II*. Warren. 



101. Genus: Radinacra Btlr. 



Like Elydna, but distinguished by the longer terminal segment of palpi. Type B. cinerascens Motschl. 



cinerascens. R- cinerascens Motschl. (= palpalis Btlr.) (46 k). Forewing pale brownish fuscous, dusted with 



dark; inner line slight, dentate inwards on veins, lunate outwards; outer line oblique outwards below costa, 

 then curved, dentate lunulate, the teeth showing clear on veins; orbicular stigma a black dot; reniform 

 large, of the ground colour, with paler dots on outer edge; median shade dark; some dark terminal dots; 

 submarginal line indistinct; hindwing greyish fuscous. Amurland and Japan. The position of this species 

 is doubtful; the terminal segment of palpi is longer, and the markings, especially the reniform stigma, of 

 quite a different character. 



102. Genus: Calyninia Hon. 



Tongue present; frons smooth; palpi upcurved, the second segment thickly scaled, the terminal 

 long and pointed, erect; head, thorax, and abdomen smoothly scaled, without crests, the anal segment of 

 $ pointed; antennae of <J shortly ciliated; forewing crossed by two lines approximating on inner margin, 

 starting from white costal streaks or blotches. Larva cylindrical, feeding between united leaves of trees 

 and shrubs in spring, and spinning a slight cocoon among leaves or rubbish. Type G. trapezina Hbn. 



aflinis. C. affinis L. (47 d). Forewing fulvous or redbrown, more or less shaded with grey; inner and 



outer lines dark, conversely edged with paler, marked on costa generally by streaks of white scales; 

 stigmata paler redbrown, undefined, the orbicular round, the reniform 8-shaped, with dark centres; sub- 

 marginal line pale, waved, preceded by a deeper brown cloud, followed on costa by white scales, beyond 

 which at the apex are two black spots; a row of small black marginal spots; hindwing blackish, black on 

 terminal half; the fringe yellowish; instead of the red tints, examples occur of a greenish grey or pale 

 suf/usa. j Jlwvn co i our = a b. suffusa Tutt (47 d), and ab. ochrea Tutt (47 d); a less common aberration occurring 

 nigri- on the continent, but not confined to $>$ as Spuler states; — ab. nigrimaculata ab. nov. (47 d) is marked by 

 maculala. patches of black scales in the basal area along cell and vein 1, before and below the orbicular stigma, 

 beyond the reniform in the angle of outer line, and more slightly before the termen. In S. Sweden, 

 Eussia, Britain, and throughout Central and Southern Europe; also in Morocco, Armenia, Turania, Amur- 

 magna. land, and Japan; the Japanese examples are much larger than European = magna Stgr. (47 d); the white 

 costal streaks are always less strongly developed, and are often altogether absent, the insect being more 

 unicolor. or less uniformly red brown = ab. unicolor Stgr. (47 e). Larva pale green, with 5 white lines; the tubercles 



and the spiracles black; feeds in May between united elm leaves. 



diffinis. C. dif finis L. (47 e). Forewing rich redbrown on a pinkish grey ground; distinguished from the 



other species by the lines starting from broad white costal blotches, not narrow streaks; the hindwing 



confinis. paler, more olive brown, than in affinis; — ab. confinis H. Schaff. (47 e) has the pinkish ground colour 



predominant, the shading pale golden brown, the hindwing sometimes yellowish with dark outline and 



affinis. submarginal shade; on the contrary the ab. affinis Hbn. (47 e) has the deep purple tints intensified and 



darker, the insect being slightly smaller. In middle and South Europe, Spain, Italy, the Ural Mts., also 



in Asia Minor, Syria, and Turkey. Larva like that of affinis, and living between united leaves of elm. 



pyralina. C. pyralina View. (47 e). Forewing dull or bright redbrown on a pinker ground; generally darkened 



with olive fuscous; first line blackish, oblique, not white-edged, angled outwards between and inwards on 

 the veins; outer line preceded by a darker median shade, and edged with white, the white becoming 

 diffused on costa and joined to the white streak before the submarginal line; stigmata very obscure, 

 sometimes with dark centres on a paler ground; submarginal line preceded by a darker red shade; hind- 



eorusea. wing pale grey in the $, darker in the $; the brighter coloured forms are ab. corusea Esp. (47 e). Agrees 

 in distribution with affinis, being found through Central and Southern Europe, in Asia Minor and Armenia, 

 in Amurland and Japan; in England it is much more local. Larva pale green with white lines; spiracular 

 line yellowish, black edged above; head yellow green; on Prunus and Pyrus, between united leaves, spin- 

 ning a slight silken web in which to pupate. 

 trapezina. C. trapezina L. (47 f). Forewing varying from pale ochreous to rufous, in some cases deep red; 



often much dusted with darker, sometimes of an uniform smooth ground colour, without any darkening; 

 the inner and outer lines dark, conversely pale-edged, with generally a distinct dark median shade between 

 them, bent at middle; submarginal line waved, pale, usually preceded by a darker shade, especially at 

 costa; orbicular and reniform rather paler, the reniform elongate, with a dark grey blotch in its lower 

 half; a row of marginal black dots; hindwing pale ochreous with grey suffusion to dark grey, this generally 

 in the grej^-dusted specimens; the termen itself and fringe paler, ochreous or rufous, according to the tint 

 ruja. of forewing; — the more intensely red forms constitute the ab. rufa Tutt (47 f); — the ochreous yellow 

 ochrea. f orms being ab. ochrea Tutt (47 f); — ab. carnea ab. nov. (47 f) is equally pale but with all the shadings, 



pallida', especially the thick median shade, delicate flesh colour; the very pale ochreous forms are ab. pallida Tutt 

 (47 f), but the transverse lines are never, as far as I know, actually obsolete; these pale forms, when
