S. lapponica Thnbg. (= ainissa Lef. <$) (50 e). Forewing brown black, thickly sprinklocl with long lapponica. 

 whitish scales, especially along the folds and in terminal area; linos thick and black, somewhat interrupted 

 and indistinct; stigmata whitish; the claviform with a black mark to outer line; tho coll black before, 

 between, and beyond the stigmata; subterminal line interrupted, pale preceded by black markings; fringe 

 chequered black and white: hindwing brownish fuscous, the fringe white; underside of both wings black 

 with a white outer band and fringe; in the ab. tenebricosa Mocschl. tho forewing is darker, being tenebricosa. 

 without white scaling. Scandinavia, Lapland, Nova Zembla. Larva greyish or cinnamon-brown; a dorsal 

 row of black spots: a pale lateral line and row of oblique lateral streaks; feeding on Vaccinium and Birch. 



S. zetterstedtii Styr. (= amissa Lef. <j>) (50 e). Forewing more uniformly blackish grey than lapponica, zeUersledlii. 

 less dusted with white scales; the markings similar, but more obscure; the inner and outer lines conversely 

 slightly grey-tinged; fringe chequered black and white; hindwing smoky black, the costa boyond middle 

 narrowly white: the fringe white: underside of both wings dull smoky blue grey, the marginal borders 

 black: subsp. sibirica Styr., from Shanghai, Mongolia, is larger; the underside of forewing black with the sibiriea. 

 subterminal line whitish; of hindwing black with white fringe; this may well prove a distinct species; 

 ab. koithoffi Auric, from Greenland, is also larger, tho forewing greyer, with median area darker; ab. kolthoffi. 

 labradoris Styr. (50 e) from Labrador shows a broad white outer patch in hindwing from costa to vein 2. In labradoris. 

 Europe this species occurs in Scandinavia, Finland, and Lapland; and in the form sibirica in Mongolia. 



S. nigrita Bsd. (= vidua Frr.) (50 e). Forewing dark slaty grey, almost wholly overlaid with smoky nirjrila. 

 black; the terminal area beyond the wavy black subterminal line, some costal patches, and one at end of 

 cell alone remaining grey; lines and stigmata almost wholly obscured; the outer line at costa marked on 

 each side with pale gre} r ; fringe white chequered with grey; hindwing uniform smoky black, the fringe 

 white: underside of forewing with grey costal patch before the black border; of hindwing wholly black, 

 with costal and subcostal veins showing whitish towards termen. Occurs in the Alps of Switzerland and 

 the Tyrol. 



S. funesta Payh. (= funebris Hbn., nigrita Dup. nee Bsd.) (50 e). Forewing dark grey speckled with fanesla. 

 paler; the inner and outer lines black, somewhat near together; the inner outcurvod in midwing, the outer 

 outcurved above and insinuate in submedian fold, then again bent outwards; the median area between 

 them, especially below middle, blackish; subterminal line indicated by a blackish shade preceding it; fringe 

 grey; hindwing blackish, fringe white. Occurs in Scandinavia, Lapland, N. E. Siberia, and in theEngadine, 

 Switzerland. 



S.? lamuta Her? Forewing black; outer line scarcely visible; reniform stigma conspicuously white; lamuta. 

 the orbicular filled in with grey; hindwing clear white, with broad black terminal border; cellspot round; 

 fringe white, that of the abdominal margin blackish. Becorded from Siberia only, and said to much 

 resemble melaleuca. 



10. Genus: Hypsopliila Styr. 



Tongue developed; irons smooth: palpi obliquely porrect, fringed with very long hair in front; 

 antennae of $ with fine slender fascicles of cilia; head, thorax, pectus, and legs clothed with woolly hair;

H. tamerlana Styr. (50 e). Forewing greenish grey dusted with brown, the median area slightly tamerlana. 

 reddish brown; inner line oblique to submedian fold, where it is angled outwards; outer line oblique to 

 vein 6, excurved to 4, then incurved; stigmata small and indistinct; subterminal line defined by a broad 

 blackish bar preceding it from costa and a diffuse black shade below vein 4; hindwing white, the inner 

 margin tinged with fuscous ; a terminal black band, broad at costa, its inner edge incurved below vein 3,

 inwards, iunulate dentate; stigmata with dark centres and broad pale annuli, the orbicular rounded,

 mated below middle to form a brown band; ab. pamira Styr., from the Pamirs, is more uniformly redbrown, pamira. 

 with the lines more approximated; the hindwing with the oblong cellpatch lying in a small white patch; 

 in the ab. lunulata ab. nov. (= ab. 4 Hmps.) (50 e) the cellspot of hindwing is a curved black lunule with the lunulata.
