L. melabela Hmps. (51 b). Forewing greyish white, densely sprinkled with red-brown; the lines red- melabela. 

 brown, all starting from triangular brown costal spots ; the inner inwardly oblique and wavy ; the median and 

 outer excurved above middle, incurved below, the outer edged with white and partly punctiform; the white 

 subterminal emits short streaks to termen on veins 7 — 3 ; a whitish line at base of fringe ; hindAving with base 

 and costal area whitish, the rest redbrown; median line brown, diffuse: outer punctiform, edged with whitish; 

 subterminal white, dentate. Quetta, Beluchistan. 



L. griseimargo Warr. (51 b). Resembles dardouini Bsd., but smaller; the forewing pale sandy rufous, griseimargo. 

 except the narrow terminal area beyond subterminal line, which is grey, well defined by the crenulate subter- 

 minal line; the lines slightly deeper rufous, the costal spots rufous; the inner marginal area beyond middle 

 is tinged with grey; hindwing quite pale grey, especially the unmarked areas in costal half of wing and along 

 submedian fold; underside wholly pale grey; head, thorax, and abdomen pale rufous, the middle segments of 

 dorsum darker. Algeria. Described from a single $. 



5. Genus : CJlaph.yra Guen. 



Differs from Leptosia in the much coarser scaling of the wings, which are without defined lines and 

 costal spots, being crossed by parallel dark and pale bands; the hindwings with the markings continuous, not 

 effaced on submedian fold and along costa. Larva feeding between spun together leaves and shoots, with cer- 

 tainly two generations. Type G. lacernaria Hbn. 



G. lacernaria #6«. (= glarea Tr., cretula Guen. nee Frr.) (51 b). Forewing pale sulphur yellow, densely lacernaria. 

 dusted with minute grey atoms, crossed by subbasal, inner, median, and outer broad wavy shades of olive 

 brown or olive grey, broken up into short blotches by the pale veins ; the pale submarginal line with broad shades 

 of the same colour on both sides of it, the inner interrupted beyond cell ; stigmata of the same colour as the lines ; 

 hindwing with 4 dark bands; fringes of both wings pale sulphur; — in ab. phlomidis Guen. (51 b) the grey dust- phlomidis. 

 ing is so thick as to obliterate the pale sulphur ground colour; — on the other hand ab. cretula Frr. (= glarea cretula. 

 Guen. nee Tr., glareosa Dup.) (51 b) is pale sulphur without grey dusting, the transverse bands continuous but 

 indistinct, not cut up by pale veins; the hindwing in the $ whitish, with few markings; the insects of the 

 summer brood belong to this form; they are smaller and paler throughout. Larva shining grey brown, 

 with fine dark scarcely marked dorsal and subdorsal lines; tubercles black; head blackish; thoracic plate 

 dark brown, cut by a pale line; feeds in July and again in autumn on a species of Phlomis, making galle- 

 ries among the leaves. Another S. European species, found along the mediterranean shores of Spain, France, 

 Italy, Dalmatia, and Greece; also in Lydia, Pontus, Armenia, Mesopotamia and Palestine. 



6. Genus: Eubleinma Hbn. 



Tongue developed; frons smooth; palpi obliquely porrect, the second segment stout, smoothly scaled, 

 the third short, pointed ; antennae of ^ finely and lengthily ciliated; thorax and abdomen smooth, without crests ; 

 hindwing with veins 3, 4 stalked, the cell about V 3 of wing; wings broad, triangular, the $ always larger 

 and paler than the $ ; crossed by four, irregularly waved, dark, pale-edged lines ; abdomen stout in the $, elongate 

 in (J. Larva of the only species known feeding in shoots of low plants in spring and autumn, pupating in a cocoon 

 on the ground or attached to the stems of the foodplant. Type E. suava Hbn. 



E. arcuinna Hbn. (= inamoena Hbn.) (51 c) <§. Forewing dull mouse grey; a vertical wavy dark inner arcuinna. 

 line, often obsolete ; median line thick, fuscous, inwardly diffuse, outwardly edged with pale, oblique from costa 

 to median, then vertical; outer line fine, obscure, irregularly crenulate; submarginal line marked by the broad 

 dark praesubmarginal shade before it, sometimes followed by a narrow dark shade; terminal line black, swollen 

 at the vein-ends; fringe grey; hindwing darker, with blackish curved inner shade, and irregularly waved outer 

 and submarginal shades, all three edged externally with pale; $ much darker; the lines edged with whitish 

 the submarginal line of forewing starting from a distinct white costal spot. Larva (undescribed) lives 

 according to Lederer in the hearts of the young shoots of Onosma echioides in spring. Occurs in Portugal, 

 Italy, Dalmatia, Austria, Hungary, and S.E. Germany; further in Bithynia and Pontus in Asia Minor; and 

 in X. China and Corea; — the form argillacea Tausch ( = inamoena Frr. non Hbn.) (51 c) is altogether paler, argillacea. 

 the forewing with a slight ochreous tinge, the hindwing whitish; the inner line of forewing well marked, with 

 three outward angulations or projections ; the median line much more excurved below middle and also indented 

 on each fold; fringes paler; 9 smaller and darker than <$. Occurs in the West of Central Asia, Tarbagatai, Ala 

 Tau, Hi, Issykkul, Ferghana; also in S. Russia and Greece. — The form ingrata H. Sch. (51c), from Crete, Asia ingrata. 

 Minor, Armenia, Persia, Hi, Issykkul, andFerghana, is also paler, but dull dirty grey, with the markings unde- 

 fined; — a third form blandula Rmb. (= pergrata Rmb. $, ingrata Guen., suava Stgr. nee Hbn.) has the wings blandula. 

 pale blurred ochreous grey, the markings indistinct, the terminal line and fringes dark grey; this is found in S. 

 Spain, Morocco, Greece, Bithynia, and Pontus; and under a slightly different form in the Altai Mts. and Issyk- 

 kul district.
