P. 525 Suppl. 4. Boarmia (Jordanisca Whli.) tenuisaria Stgr. from the Basra district, where it flies fre- tenuisaria. 
quently locally in november, is figured by Wiltshire, also the still unknown $ and the still undescribed cater¬ 
pillar (Ent. Record 56, 1944, November, p. 114, tab. 4, fig. B, C and K). Caterpillar on Lycium barbarum in 
the Lycietum of the Irak-Plaine as an animal of the oasis.

worn and damaged on the wingmargins ( = Boarmia sordida Btlr. ssp. sordina Bryk, based on a single worn $). 
Both specimens came from the same locality: Kunashiri, Tomari, Kuriles. The hitherto wellknown, but neither 
described nor figured $ of B. sordida is, as shown by comparison with my Japonese material, marked by the 
considerably stronger indented border of the hindwing as of the which therefor in the $ resembles a little 
more that of B. catotaeniaria ; the edges of the $ of this species however are still considerably sharper, and so 
this species differs at a first glance by the forewings before the middle of the wings bluntly angulated outer 
border, what is excellently represented by Poujade (Ann. Soc. Ent. France 64, 1925, p. 313, tab. 7, fig. 15). 
Also the drawing especially of the hindwings differs considerably, so that no doubt can exist of the identity 
of Bryk’s picture (Iris 56, 1942, p. 84, tab. 2, fig. 20), which brings at first the representation of the $ of B. 
sordida. Of the of sordida there exist 3 pictures, from Butler (Ill. Typ. Het. Brit. Mus. 3, 1878, p. 46, tab. 52, 
fig. 7, enlarged), Matsumura (Thous. Ins. of Japon, Suppl. 2, tab. 25, fig. 18) and Seitz (Vol. 4, tab. 21, fig. f), 
everyone different (all from Japon), therefor evidently, individually varying, corresponding to my Japonese 
serie. Such easily variing, thereto still worn and faded and single specimens cannot be put up as subspecies, 
especially not without sufficient differential diagnosis. From catotaeniaria there lies a splendid serie before me catotaeni-

ture and of the <J genital-apparatus the genus Syllegusina Whli. with S. sinuaria Guen. as the typus of the 
genus, in the part issued the 24 th of august 1943. A short time ago Inolte had published for the same species 
the genus Rectopis. Rectopis receives priority. Inoue does not show himself positive about the position in the 
system. I pointed out to the relations of some markings to the Semiothisinae, like the hitherto omitted trans¬ 
lucent hyalin wedge-spot of forewings behind the cell, as it occurs similarly in Semiothisa (Thyridesia) pi a data 
F. and khasiana Swinh. a. o. - The real fovea lies behind this spot -; further the thickened hindtibias with 
the striking brush and the tarsae shortened to %; then the three-parted valvae, the anguillae of which resemble 
those of Semiothisa (Ligdiformia) temeraria Swinh. ; also the Abraxas- like long aedoeagus occurs too in Semio¬ 
thisa (Chiasmia clathrata L.) - admittedly shorter -. The short uncus, indeed without the typical horns, points 
also to relations with the Semiothisinae, near which the genus Rectopis would be ranged.
