fuscous, especially below middle, containing a while gamma-shaped mark with short sloul tail; sligniala well 

 defined, dark with pale outlines; the reniform coastricted in middle with a black shaded spot on each side; 

 subterminal line Lunulate dentate, preceded by a blackish shade; termen pale grey with black marginal dashes: 

 hindwing orange, with narrow black border: the base and inner margin smoky blackish ; underside of forewing 

 yellow to the grey terminal border. Larva dark purplish grey; dorsal Line while, traversed by a fine dark 

 line: lateral lines white: tubercles black, with rather long hairs; head small, brownish grey; feeds on a 

 variety of low plants. Found on the high Alps of Switzerland and the mountains of Central Asia 



C. hochenwarthii Hochenw. (= divergens F.) (64a). Forewing pale grey, without dusting, but suffused warlhu 

 in basal and upper median areas with brownish fuscous; lines finely brown, double, filled in with pale; the 

 inner sinuous above middle, inwardly oblique below; the outer somewhat angularly benl outwards beyond 

 cell and indented on vein 1; orbicular stigma an oblique V, with pale outline; the reniform narrow, oblique, 

 dark fuscous outlined with pale, preceded by black shading and followed by a black spot; median area below 

 middle deep velvety brown, containing a long outwardly directed white mark with the base narrowly brown; 

 a deep brownish fuscous shade before subterminal line; termen pale grey; fringe darker grey; hindwing 

 orange, with blackish border, and inner margin smoky fuscous; underside greyish yellow with markings grey. 

 Larva redbrown. with pale segmental incisions; dorsal line yellowish; head brown; feeds on various umbelli- 

 ferous plants. Occurs in the Swiss Alps, Scandinavia, and Lapland; the mountains of Armenia, Central Asia, 

 and Siberia. In the subsp. alaica Galvagni (64 a) from the Ala Tau Mts. and other Central Asian ranges, the alaka. 

 subcellular mark is small, shorter and stouter, and the hindwing deeper orange, with the dark border somewhat 

 broader; in another form from Tura, subsp. cuprina subsp. nov. (64a) the forewing is suffused with coppery cuprina- 

 fulvous, and the median area and other dark areas are deep coppery red instead of purplish fuscous; both 

 this form and alaica Galv. are somewhat larger than the average European hochenwarthii. 



C. tibetana Stgr. (64 a). Half as large again as hochenwarthii; forewing with the ground colour darker tibetana. 

 grey: the inner and outer lines less oblique, the outer not indented on vein 1; the silvery while" mark solid, 

 tusk-shaped, longer in proportion and more curved; the orbicular stigma rounded; the shade before subterminal 

 line almost linear: hindwing with the terminal border narrower. From Kuku Nor, Tibet. Described by 

 Staudinger as a form of hochenwarthii, but, as far as I am able to judge, specifically distinct; the difference 

 in size and markings is constant. 



C. composita spec. nov. (64a). Allied to hochenwarthii and possibly a form of it. Forewing pale grey, composite/. 

 with slight dark suffusion: inner and outer lines pale grey, not white; imier line below middle vertical to 

 vein 1. then bent, oblique inwards; outer line as in hochenivarthii; median area below middle paler brown; 

 the silvery marking short, and bent at middle; subterminal line lunulate dentate, as in niigro gramma; the 

 inner margin blackish; underside like hochenivarthii. Described from a single ? from the defile of Turgan 

 Aksu, Thian Shan Mts., August 1905 (Kutsenko). Type in the Tring Museum. 



2. Genus: Autograph a Hbn. 



Agrees with Caloplusia in the small elliptical eyes, and^in the hairy vestiture; but only the hind 

 tibiae are spined. and then only between the spurs. Type A. parilis Hbn. 



Another mountain genus; the single species has whitish hindwings with broad dark border. 



A. parilis Hbn. (= quadriplaga Walk, (64 a). Forewing ashy grey, speckled with black and shaded parilis. 

 with brownish grey; inner and outer lines fine and pale, distinct only below middle, the space between them 

 filled with dark velvety brown, containing a white gamma-shaped mark; reniform stigma undefined, lying in 

 a diffuse brown median shade, beyond which the excurved part of the outer line is visible; subterminal line 

 preceded by a broad brownish grey shade, angled outwards at vein 6 and below 4; the area beyond it 

 paler, with a dark patch at apex; hindwing whitish, with the basal half and terminal border blackish. Found 

 only in N. Scandinavia and Finland. A small but distinct species. 



3. Genus: Syngraplia Hbn. 



Distinguished from the two preceding genera by the large rounded eyes; the hind tibiae are spined 

 only between the spurs. Type S. ain Hochenw. 



S. ain Hochenw. (64b). Forewing purplish grey shaded with black; inner and outer lines double, black ain. .
