ANYDROPHILA; CEROCALA. Ry W. Warren. 



6 I . 



Genus: Anjdropliila Joh 



Tongue present: frons smooth or protuberant: palpi upturned, the second segment broadly scaled, the 

 third of moderate length, thickly scaled; antennae of cf with long fasciculate cilia; metathorax crested; abdomen 

 smooth, without crests: fore tibiae moderately fringed with hair; mid and hind tibiae tufted with hair above 

 at middle and extremity; fore tibiae without spines; hind tibiae spined between the spurs only. Type A. 

 mirifica Ersch. 



imitatrix. A. imitatrix Christ. (62 e). Forewing pale grey speckled with dark grey, in parts with grey suffusion; 



the veins with deeper dusting; the median vein and submedian fold sometimes paler; lines very indistinct, 

 marked by dark spots on costa; a curved dark dentate line from below costa to lower end of cell, with dark 

 grey suffusion inside and defined outwardly by whitish scaling; an obscure pale spot at end of cell with some 

 dark dentate markings above it: a row of whitish dark-edged terminal lunules; fringe grey; hindwing yellow, 

 with a large black blotch at apex, a smaller rounded one below vein 3, and a spot at anal angle; fringe 

 white, slightly pencilled with dark grey: underside of forewing with a large black spot on discocellular and 

 another, 'smaller, before apex; hindwing with subapical and lower black spots; the ground colour whitish. 

 Recorded from the Transcaspian regions. 



simiola. A. simiola Pi'mg. (62 f). Resembles imitatrix, but paler, the markings still less definite ; in the hindwing 



the third black spot, at anal angle, is large and black; underside of forewing with no black blotch on the 

 discocellular, and all three blotches plain in hindwing. Like the last species found in Transcaspia. 



mirifica. A. mirifica Ersch. (62 f). Forewing darker grey than the preceding species, with olive suffusion and 



thickly dusted; lines marked on costa by dark spots; inner line blackish, oblique outwards and wavy; median 

 line more vertical, touching a dark lunule on discocellular, and approaching inner line below middle; outer 

 line blackish, oblique from costa and acutely angled on vein 5, irregularly lunulate dentate below, preceded 

 by olive grey suffusion and followed by whitish; a row of dark pale-edged lunules along termen; hindwing 

 yellow, with spots as in imitatrix; underside of forewing without black spot on discocellular, but with a distinct 

 dark grey median shade and some dark scales at anal angle. Transcaspia. 



sabouraudi. A. sabouraudi Lucas. Near to simiola and mirifica. Forewing grey, darker in terminal area; the apex 



paler; near apex a broad fuscous line touching the reniform stigma: above it an acute angled line comprising 

 the same stigma: within the vein limiting the lower part of area, a black well-marked line forming a similar 

 acute angle: fringe mixed with white; hindwing luteous, with broad black terminal border dentate on both 

 edges; the costal area paler; forewing beneath white, with 2 blackish blotches; the front one broad, before 

 the white fringe: the hind one oblique, incurved, approaching fringe. Tunis. 



inlermixta. A. intermixta spec. nov. (62 f). This species is intermediate between simiola Pi'utg. and mirifica Ersch.; 



it agrees with the former on the upper side of both wings, and with the latter on the underside; the forewing 



has no large black discal spot, but only a grey band swollen below middle. 

 Museum from Transcaspia. 



38. Genus: Cerocala Bsd. 



Described from 2 ?? in Tring 



Tongue present: frons smooth; palpi porrect, the second segment hairy below, the third as long as 

 second, porrect, spatulate, scaleless; antennae of c? bipectinate to apex: all the tibiae spined: thorax and 

 abdomen smooth, the abdomen slender. Type C. scapulosa Hbn. 



scapidosa. C. scapulosa Hbn. (62f). Forewing pale grey, thickly speckled with dark grey, especially along costa; 



lines black, thinly edged with white, all starting from subcostal vein; inner line well curved, preceded by an 

 olive green patch; orbicular stigma an olive green round dot ringed with pale; reniform an olive green lunule 

 with dark lateral edges: the cell before and beyond it sometimes pale buff; outer line black and nearly vertical 

 from subcostal vein to vein 2, where it all but touches subterminal line, thence recurved upwards to touch 

 the bottom of reniform, then curved downwards in a line Avith the inner edge of reniform to vein I, and 

 thence very oblique to inner margin, nearly touching subterminal, the two areas between the lines olive green: 

 subterminal line crenulate, edged with shining white, acutely indented beyond cell, followed by a slight dark 

 shade, which is separated by a pale oblique band from the dark grey termen; terminal line black, festooned; 

 hindwing yellowish white, somewhat suffused with grey towards base, with a dark discal lunule, a black outer 

 wavy diffuse band, and a black abbreviated terminal border, formed of laterally confluent black blotches along 

 the veins, running out into the white fringe. Occurs in S.W. Spain, and in Morocco and Algeria. Larva
