haps greater transparency of the wings, darker body and some differences of venation: in lysimeles the first 2 
subcostals of the forewing are stalked, the subcostal of the hindwing from, or close to, the apex of the cell; 
in heterog ynoides the former are coincident throughout, the latter well separate at its origin from the 1st radial, 
Sajan Mountains, 2300 m altitude, 2 $6 taken in June. 
4a. Genus: Enmegethes Stgr. 
This genus, erroneously described as Noctuid, belongs here. Build rather slender, scaling smooth and 
glossy. Antenna in the $ with fascicles of long cilia. Hindleg slender, with all spurs. Forewing short, in the $ 
somewhat more acute than in the 1st subcostal anastomosing at a point or connected with the costal, 2nd 
from near 3rd, sometimes stalked with it, always anastomosing with the 1st and afterwards wdth the 3rd— 
4th. Hindwing with the second subcostal not stalked, the 2nd radial rather slender, midway between 1st and 
3rd. Probably related to Myinodes, which differs in shape and has the 2nd subcostal of the hindwing stalked. 
Genotype: tenuis Stgr. 
E. tenuis Stgr. (1 b). White, tinged in places with rather pale drab-grey, the forewing with firm, straight tenuis. 
antemedian and weaker, curved postmedian, both strengthened on the veins. Described from E. Tunis, known 
also from Central Algeria, Cyrenaica and Egypt. 
E. picta Trti. (6 c). Pearly brownish. Antemedian of forewdng different in direction from that of tenuis , picta. 
oblique outward rather than inward, postmedian nearly as in that species but more slender and wdth its pale 
distal edging more noticeable against the brownish irroration of the ground-colour; a well-marked dark cell- 
dot, which is wanting in tenuis ; black terminal dots. Hindwing lighter, with black cell-dot; traces of a semi¬ 
circular row of dots, pale-edged distally as on forewing; terminal dots black, distinct, well separated. Founded 
on two specimens taken at Porto Bardia, Cyrenaica in November, together with tenuis. 
4b. Genus: Drepanopterula Hedicke 
Described by Titrati under the preoccupied name of Drepanoptera. Antenna of the $ finely pubescent. 
Forewdng different from that of Eumegethes in the falcate apex and non-anastomosis of the costal vein. Most 
characters much as in that genus. Also founded on a single N. African species; this was originally placed in 
H ypoplectis (H ypoxystis). 
D. zationi Trti. (1 b). A small, glossy species, with the two lines of the forewdng rufous, somewhat ap- zanoni. 
proximated, one on either side of the cell-dot, a more luteous outer shade, more oblique than distal margin, 
and a subterminal shade from apex to inner margin near tornu8. Hindwing with the median line consisting 
of rufous dots, both the outer shades weak. Broader-winged than Hypoxystis henricaria, much more glossy, 
hindwing less devoid of markings, etc. Bengasi (Cyrenaica). 
6. Genus: Sarcinodes Guen. 
(see Vol. 4. p. 5 and Vol. 12, p. 28.) 
S. mongaku Marumo (1 c). Rather smaller than debitaria Walk. (Vol. 12, p. 28), much suffused wdth mongaku. 
pink, the costal margin of forewing deeper reddish, the veins whitish. Underside whitish mixed with pink, 
the distal half of the hindwdng and a more restricted posterior part of the distal area of forewdng greyish olive, 
nearly as in some debitaria. Japan, the type from Nachi, Kii, discovered on 28 July 1916. 
7. Genus: Epirrantliis Him. 
(see Vol. 4, p. 5). 
E. diversata Schiff. ab. fasciata Scilzl. Forewdng with median area narrowed, more brown than the fasciata. 
ground-colour, forming a differentiated band. Hindwing with a blackgrey postmedian band, 1 y 2 mm in width. 
Founded on a $ from Brantlberg, near Regensburg. 
8. Genus: Aplasta Hbn.
