large rounded projection above each indentation; terminal area darker; a row of black terminal dots; hindwing 



pale brownish, with a lain! curved pale median line before a fuscous brown submarginal border; this species varies rufa.

(60e), from Cintra, Portugal, the whole wing is tinged witli greenish, and the abdomen is glossy; subsp. inconspicua inconspicua- 



sal'sjh nov. (tide) from Lambessa, N.Africa, is a smaller form, generally with slight and inconspicuous markings, 



dull grey in the o 1 and somewhat pink-tinged in the ?. The species occurs throughout S. Europe, in Algeria, 



Syria, and Asia Minor. Larva brown; dorsal line line, moniliform; subdorsal broad, dark, enclosing pale spots, 



with three line dark lines beneath it; spiracular pale, sometimes yellowish; two lateral projections on segment 5; 



pairs of dorsal points on last two segments; head brown; feeding on oak. 



M. wiskotti Pting. (63g). In markings like lunaris, but smaller ; the reniform pale or absent instead of dark; ■wiskolti. 

 a dark spot on cosla near before outer line; in the ? a black point in the outermost tooth of subterminal 

 line; ground colour of cT greenish grey and brown mixed, as in lunaris; in the ? more uniform clear brown ; 

 in one ? the two lines are broadly shaded with dark brown; sometimes, as in lunaris, a subterminal row of 

 points: hindwing anil underside duller and more uniform brown. Palestine. 



18. Genus: Anna Walk 



Tongue present; frons smooth, with a pointed tuft of hair above; palpi upturned, the second segment 

 moderately scaled, the third porrect; antennae of the cT ciliated; thorax hairy, without crests; basal segments 

 of abdomen with ridges of hair; forewings elongate, narrow, generally more or less yellow in coloration. 

 Type: A. fini fascia Walk. 



Sect. II. Antennae and mid tibiae of c? normal; the hindwing on underside with woolly 

 hair on basal area and ridges of hair along the veins. 



A. tirhaca Cram. (60 f). Forewing olive green or yellowish green, generally covered with fine trans- lirhaca. 



verse brown striae; inner and outer lines hairfme, often invisible, meeting at middle of inner margin, the inner 



straight, the outer slightly curved above, starting from a triangular brown spot on costa; orbicular stigma a 



brown dot; reniform an oblique brown lunule; terminal area redbrown limited by the submarginal line, which 



projects outwards above veins 6 and 3, and forms three lunules below costa, containing black white-edged 



spots: hindwing deep yellow, with a broad black bar from anal angle to vein 6, generally strong and black 



in the ?, attenuated in the cf , or, as in type, reduced to a blotch beyond cell only, rarely quite absent. Found 



only in the South of Europe, in Algeria and the Canaries, in Cyprus, Syria, and Asia Minor; also occurring 



in India, and China. In the ab. absens ab. nov. (=ab.. 1 Hmps.) (61a) the blotch in hindwing of the c? is absens. 



entirely wanting: — in auricularis <? Hbn. the band is more or less attenuated and obsolescent; in vesta ? auricularis. 



v&stci 

 Esp. (60 f) the band is evenly broad and black with both edges dentate, but attains its greatest development 



in the form separans Walk. (60f); these specimens with very broad bands are ??; in another form ab. separans. 



pura ab. nov. (60 f) the ground colour is absolutely pure without any transverse striae. The dark scaling of pura. 



the hindwing is more feebly expressed in European specimens, and attains its greatest development in the 



Indian and Chinese examples. 



A. triphaenoides Walk. (61 a). <? Forewing pale greenish ochreous; terminal area darker, often pur- triphami- 

 plish brown: inner and outer lines very fine, brown, not meeting on inner margin, the fringe of which is 

 reddish: orbicular stigma a purple dot; reniform a purple lunule with deeper outline; subterminal line 

 violet, preceded by an olive shade containing two black spots above veins 6 and 7, the lower filling the 

 angle of the line; hindwing buff, greyish towards base, with a broad blackish terminal border, attenuated at 

 anal angle; in the 9, cuprea Moore, the forewing is wholly dark chocolate brown; the inner and outer lines cuprea. 

 pale: the subterminal rufous, preceded by a brown shade: the costal edge ochreous; hindwing with the paler 

 base smoky brown: in ab. pallescens cf ab. nov. (= ab. 2 Hmps) the forewing is quite pale ochreous without pallescens. 

 irroration: in ab. terminata c? ab. nov. the terminal area is conspicuously darker. An Indian species which termmala. 

 also occurs in W. China. 



A. olista Stvmh. (61 a). Forewing grey brown, in the ? with a reddish tinge; inner and outer lines olista. 

 pale, preceded by grey scales at the veins: the inner outwardly oblique to vein 1, then inbent, the outer 

 slightly curved above, marked by a black spot on costa; subterminal line pale, preceded by a series of black 

 irregularly triangular marks between the veins, sharply angled outwards above vein 6 and bluntly above 3; 

 orbicular stigma a black spot: reniform a brown lunule with black edges: hindwing palm- brown, with the 

 outer half dark fuscous. Recorded from China and Japan.
