■262 CALYMMA; COCCIDIPHAGA. By W. Warren. 



suava. E. suava Hbn. (suavis Spul.) (51 c) <$. Differs from the allied species in being suffused with brown, 



darker before the slightly bent median line which is edged with white; the inner and outer lines obscure; the 

 latter edged with paler like the submarginal line, which is preceded by a dark shade and indented on both folds; 

 hindwing dark fuscous, with thick dark inner, median, and submarginal bands, the first followed by a dull 

 whitish band, the last by white blotches on the folds; $ black, the forewing with a brown tinge; the lines mainly 

 obscured ; the median followed by a pure white line ; fringe black with a white spot at apex : hindwing with 

 a curved white line before middle and a white blotch beyond submarginal line above middle; frons grey. 

 Found in Spain, S. France, Italy, Carinthia, Croatia, Hungary, and the Balkan peninsula. 



jucunda. E. jucunda Hbn. (= sepulchralis Tr. $) (51 c). Smaller than suava, the forewing tinged, not suffused, 



with brown, the median line almost straight, the outer and submarginal both, marked with white on costa; a 

 terminal series of blackish spots; hindwing with the lines and shading blackish, the inner white band and the 

 two submarginal blotches more prominent ; $ usually much smaller and wholly black; frons in both sexes whit- 

 ish. This species is restricted to the Southwest of Europe, occuring only in Spain, S. France, and Italy. 



kuelekana. E. kuelekana Stgr. (51 d). Forewing in <$ varying from ochreous yellow or ochreous red through ochreous 



grey to grey; in $ redbiown; median shade in <$ with a slightly paler edge, both it and outer line very faint; 

 in $ with a white median band, and costal spot beyond; the median line, except for one slight curve, straighter 

 than in arcuinna; submarginal line pale, preceded by a slight dark band; hindwing of $ without marks, of ? 

 with white inner band; underside of both wings ochreous, without trace of lines or bands, by which character- 

 istic it is distinguished from suava and the other species. Taurus and Pontus. In this species veins 3, 4 

 of hindwing are not stalked, the cell being half as long as wing. 



keyserlingi. E. ( ?) keyserlingi Bien. Forewing brownish grey ; basal area bright brown, sharply defined, bluntly 



triangular, narrowly outlined with whitish; median and outer areas brownish grey; the two stigmata confluent 

 into a large rather pale rounded blotch limited by the sinuous outer line, which is obscure and formed of dark 

 spots; hindwing dirty brownish grey, darker terminally; fringe whitish. Persia. 



syrtensis. E. syrtensis Hmps. (51 n). Forewing ochreous white flushed with rufous and dusted with brownish scales; 



inner line sinuous, faint, marked by black points on costa, in cell, and on submedianfold; median line brown, obli- 

 quely excurved from costa just beyond inner line, indented beyond cell, and angled outwards at its lower end, then 

 oblique and incurved on submedianfold, edged externally by a white line; outer line similar and parallel; subter- 

 minal line sinuous, white preceded by fuscous suffusion; fringe white tipped with brown; hindwing whitish 

 tinged with brown; two diffuse black brown median lines, bent outwards below cell; a diffused white subter 

 minal band, defined by fuscous and black, incurved below costa and outcurved at anal angle ; a black terminal 

 line forming a diffused patch at apex. Hammam-es-Salahin, Algeria. 



7. Genus: Calymma Hbn. 



Tongue present, but weak; frons smooth; palpi with second segment long and thickly scaled, the third 

 short and blunt ; antennae of <J with long ciliations ; head and thorax clothed, with broad scales. Larva feeds 

 on Coccidas on fruit trees, making a shield of the empty scales, and pupating in a cocoon on the stems. Type 

 C. communimacula Schiff. 



communi- C. communimacula Schiff. (51 d). Forewing uniform pale flesh colour; costa marked with dark and 



*' light spots; a pale submarginal line parallel to termen, the area beyond it somewhat deeper; on middle of inner 

 margin a chocolate brown pale-edged bullet-shaped blotch; fringe olive grey brown; hindwing whitish tinged 

 with pale fleshcolour in outer half. Larva pale greyish yellow, without markings; head small, heart-shaped, 

 shining black brown ; spiracles small and red; forelegs black; the others reddish, rudimentary. Found in Italy, 

 Dalmatia, Greece, Austria and. Hungary; in Pontus, Taurus, Armenia, Mesopotamia. 



8. Genus: Coccirfiplu&ga Spul. 



Tongue aborted ; frons smooth ; palpi long and slender ; the third segment short ; antennae of <J with 

 long ciliations; thorax coarsely scaled; veins 3, 4 rising close together from lower angle of cell in forewing, stalk- 

 ed in hindwing; costal shortly anastomosing with subcostal in hindwing; forewings marked with wavy lines 

 and a large reniform stigma. La,rva with only ten feet, the abdominal feet represented by a ring of hooks; feed- 

 ing on Coccidae on various trees, the scales of which it fashions into a case in which it also pupates. Type C. 

 scitula Rmb. 



scitula. C. scitula Rmb. (= exasperata Led., exasperalis Led., gibbosa Snell., cretacea Hmps.) (51 d). Fore- 



wing white; the shading leaden grey; inner line oblique outwards and curved, dark grey; outer line outcurved 

 above middle, incurved, below and then vertical, dark grey, broadly edged outwardly with white; the line itself 

 is sometimes obsolete; space between them sometimes blotched, sometimes filled up with leaden grey; sub-
