dafa - dark spots from which rise the sinuous inner and outer lines and the very faint median shade; subterminal 



line more distinct, pale on a darker ground; cellspot small and dull; hindwing with fainter reproduction of 



the markings of forewing. Occurs in S. Europe, Hungary, Dalmatia, Istria, Carniola, S. Tyrol, S. France,

spot darker; subbasal line marked by two black dots; inner lunulate, from a dark costal spot; median area 

 darker ; outer line pale, excurved beyond cell, then incurved and vertical below vein 2 ; the praesubterminal 

 shade broader and more diffuse towards costa; hindwing with three obscure dark lines. Catania, Sicily. 



78. Genus : Paragona Stgr. 



Tongue present; palpi porrect, thickly haired; antennae of $ subserrate, ciliated; abdomen slender, 

 with strongly developed genitalia and large anal tuft in the <J; insects of small size and delicate structure, 

 with dull coloration. Type P. multisignata Christ. The genus seems closely allied to Orectis Led. 



multisig- 

 nata. 



P. multisignata Christ. (71 d). Forewing pale grey, dusted with darker; inner and outer lines black; 

 conversely edged with whitish; the outer strongly dentate, preceded below middle by a broad brown fascia; 

 a black crescent at end of cell; subterminal line whitish, flexuous, indented on the folds; terminal area brownish, 

 brownish patches also beyond outer line at each extremity ; a black festooned terminal line ; hindwing darker, 

 with black crescent at end of cell, fine outer and subterminal lines, with a brown band between. Amurland. 



deorides. P. cleorides Wilem. Forewing white dusted with grey ; the markings dark grey, not brown as in multi-

 dentate outwards, indented on both folds ; terminal area darker grey with the subterminal line pale ; terminal 

 line black and thick ; hindwing with inner and outer lines and a dark subterminal shade. In the type specimen 

 the black cellspot is joined to the black costal mark at origin of median line, so forming an oblique black 

 costal bar, whence the name. Japan. 



Tongue present but weak; frons smooth; palpi feeble 

 ciliations; wings of delicate structure. Type C. albosignata Stgr. 



79. Genus: Chara Stgr.
