AEROMACHUS; HETEROPTERUS; PAMPHILA. By M. Gaede. 
violet sheen and wide grey discal band. — Tutt has ascertained three delicate differences in the shade of ground 
colour, so that each name can be combined in three different ways. Specimens without band are named tages L., 
brunnea-unicolor, unicolor Frr. ; specimens with faint band: alcoicles, brunnea-alcoides, suffusa-alcoides ; with well 
developed band: transversa, brunnea- and suffusa-transversa\ with darker grey discal area variegata , brunnea and 
suffusa-variegata. Specially small specimens have also been named minima Lamb, 
pelias. Th. pelias Leech. (Vol. 1, p. 341, pi. 86 d). — erebus Gr.-Grsh. is slightly more clearly marked and 
crebus. mar pj n g S are m0 re contrasting. Tatung, Seening-Shan. 
21. Genus: Aeromaclius Nic. 
inachus. A. inachus Men. (Vol. 1, p. 342, pi. 86 g). — thibetana Aust. a dark race. The row of white spots on 
thibetana. f orew ings more incurved towards inner margin. Without green dusting on underside of hindwings (like all 
specimens of inachus before me from the Amur). Also with 2 rows of light spots (the inner one is often 
boldly represented in inachus and is pure white). The name is of no importance. Thibet. 
28. Genus: Heteropteriis Bum. 
morpheas. H. niorplieus Pall. (Vol. 1, p. 344, pi. 87 b). — obscura Skala (= obsoleta Fritsch) has no yellow spots 
'JroUmbala a P ex °I forewings. — In atrolimbata Skala, the fringes are not checked with yellow. — phantasos Stick. (16 1). 
phantasos. The yellow apical spots on upperside of forewings are more or less extinct. On underside of forewings the yellow 
spots reduced in size, ground colour of hindwings almost darker than that of forewings. The ground colour be- 
radiata. tween the 2 rows of ivory-yellow spots has minute dark yellow dots. — radiata Roll, has the 5 yellow marginal 
coreana. spots on upperside of hindwings elongated inwards radially, with 3 fainter yellow spots towards base. — coreana 
Mats. Forewings darker with diffuse yellow submarginal band and a yellow streak above lower median nerv- 
ure. Hindwings normal. On underside of forewings the yellow marginal line extends beyond median nervure, 
the eyespots smaller on hindwings. Corea. It cannot be stated definitely whether this is an aberration or a race. 
31. Genus: Pampliila F. 
silvius. P. silvius Knock (Vol. 1, p. 345, pi. 87 b, c). A few aberrations are newly described from european 
pseudo- territory. — pseudopalaemon-d Fritsch. It is similar to a transition from silvius-G to palaemon -£. The black 
palaemon. mar kings are similar to palaemon but not so extensive. The 8 fine yellow streaks (marginal spots) which always 
evanescens. occur in palaemon are also present here. Hindwings also similar to palaemon but lighter yellow. — evanescens-d 
atrolimbata. Heinr . The black antemarginal spots on upperside of forewings are more or less extinct. — atrolimbata- $ Heinr. 
fasciata. The small yellow lunules on upperside of forewings are extinct, the margin therefore widely black. — fasciata 
Schrdr. (= catella Schultz). The black spots on forewings are so confluent that a band is formed from the middle 
isshikii. of the costa to the middle of the inner margin. — The description of the race isshikii Mats, from Saghalin was 
doii. not available to me. — doii Mats, with larger black spots in cell of forewings and in middle of wings. They 
are narrower but not oval as in type, more roundish as in sachalinensis . The spots of submarginal row larger, 
all approximately of same size except the one above lower median nervure. Kurile Islands. 
palaemon. P. palaemon Pall. (Vol. 1, p. 345, pi. 87 c). Two fresh east asiatic races are described: — albigutfata 
albiguttata. Christ. (16 1). Upperside with small yellow spots. Underside of hindwings is darker, spots white. S. Urals, 
shikotanus. Irkutsk, Vilui. — shikotanus Nakah. Compared by the author to silvius. The yellow spots more extensive 
especially in the discal cell and the black spots in this area half as large as in isshikii Mats., less black in the 
conjuncta. outer area. The yellow discal spot on hindwings is narrower. Shikotan Island. — conjuncta Black. Forewings 
normal on upper and undersides. On upperside of hindwings the cell is bordered by black, beyond same only 
the veins are black, the rest is yellow, on underside all veins except for the disco-cellular nervure are black. — 
carrueli. confluens Ostk. is practically the same. — carrueli Le Charles is identical with conjuncta Black, on hindwings. 
According to the description the forewings are without markings, however the illustration indicates traces of the 
restricta. normal spots. — restricta Tutt {= habeneyi Sigl) has no yellow marginal spots on upperside of hindwings, 
silvioides. discal spot is small. — silvioldes Muller. Outer row of golden-yellow spots on forewings confluent, margin beyond 
same narrow and only faintly dark. On hindwings on the other hand only the 3 main yellow spots present, 
freyi. marginal spots practically absent. — In freyi Hellw. only the yellow marginal spots on hindwings absent. — 
luteana. luteana Gab. basal half on upperside of forewings uniformly yellow. — melicertes Schultz uniformly black forewings 
mehcertes. w jthout yellow spots. — Tutt names the following: excessa, when spots are large and orange-yellow with a distinct 
aurantia. marginal row between the veins; aurantia, when marginal spots are indistinct; restricta, when spots are small. 
restricta. — If spots are yellow, one adds the name lutea. If spots on underside of hindwings are yellow with dark 
, ire uni- borders, circumcincta. — extrema Diosz. is due to exposure to heat, with much reduced yellow markings on 
cincta. both wings. The marginal spots, which may be small under normal circumstances, can be absent. On hindwings 
extrema. on iy the middle large spot still clearly distinct. — murasei Mats, wings narrower than type, smaller light spots 
on upperside of forewings, larger spots on underside of hindwings. S. Saghalin. 
christophi. P. christophi Gr.-Grsh. (Vol. 1, p. 345, pi. 87 d). Oberthur says christophi is not synonymous with niveo- 
maculatus Oberth. as indicated by Leech, nor with dulcis Oberth. as stated in the Staudinger-Rebel catalogue.
