China. It was founded on a series from the Isle of Askold, published almost simultaneously with jankowskiaria 
Oberth. from the same locality, also founded on a series. As the Askold specimens which I have seen, though 
somewhat variable, all belong to a single species and as it seemed highly improbable that two species so closely 
allied should occur together in this restricted area, I examined all the material accessible to me; still unable 
to find any line of demarcation, I consulted my good friend Dr. Wehrli, the possessor of Oberthur's type. His 
experience confirms mine; inexact figures (especially the exaggerated white area on the hindwing of that of 
jankowskiaria) have obscured the identity, but unless Hedemann's type specimen was aberrant in having the 
hindwing beneath “zeichnungslos", jankowskiaria must lie sunk as an absolute synonym. 
E. atyche sp. n. (3 c). 28—30 mm. In general scheme of coloration near chlorophyllaria but more 
mixed with white, the hindwing in costal and proximal parts definitely whitish green, becoming more greenish 
distally, the green itself slightly bluer than that of chlorophyllaria. Palpus and antenna formed about as in 
that, genitalia apparently stumpier, valves a little broader and more curved, uncus-spikes notably shorter. 
Forewing with apex slightly less sharp (termen more inclined to curve anteriorly), lines extremely slender in 
the type, evidently at least as variable as in chlorophyllaria, in the second specimen (here figured) less slender, 
more approximated, especially posteriorly. W. China (P. Dejean): the type <$ from Siao-lou, the paratype $ 
‘ Frontiere orientate du Thibet”, both in the British Museum, ex coll. Oberthur. 
E. plusiaria Bsd. (Vol. 4, pi. 2 f) ab. powellaria Oberth. (= simplificata Schleppnik) (3 c) has the white 
bands strikingly broadened, the enclosed green area containing no white ring. The type, a small 2nd-brood 
specimen, was taken at Lambese. Algeria, by H. Powell. The other known examples were bred or captured 
at Albarracin. — ab. confluens Schleppnik is similar to the small form of powellaria, but has the median area 
narrowed so that its green centre has only room to develop as a narrow patch in the anterior half of the wing; 
green band outside the white postmedian widened. Albarracin, bred with powellaria. 
29. Genus: Aglossocliloris Prout 
(see Vol. 4, p. 28 and Vol. 12, p. 121). 
A. correspondens Alph. The range reaches westward to Transcaspia. 
A. crucigerata Christ. The British Museum has received an extremely small G, in poor condition, from 
Kandahar (ab. or race?). —- euryrithra subsp. nov. (3 c). Forewing with the transverse white bands twice as 
broad, cell-spot also broadened, the longitudinal white dashes of the median area, on the other hand, reduced, 
though those of the terminal area remain broad. Green postmedian line of hinclwing well developed, rather 
straight. Transjordania: Amman (H. St.-J. B. Philby), a $ in the British Museum collection. 
A. radiata Walk. (3 c). We figure a 2 specimen from Scind Valley. Occurs also in Afghanistan (Kabul). 
30. Genus: Holoterpna Pung. 
(see Vol. 4. p. 29). 
H. pruinosata Stgr. has subsequently been found at Trieste, the larva feeding on Ferulago galbanifera. 
It is gaily coloured (yellow with purple-red transverse bands and fine longitudinal lines of the same) and is 
without either prothoracic or anal points. Larva in August, moth in June. 
32. Genus: Thalera Him. 
(see Vol. 4, p. 30 and Vol. 12, p. 121). 
Tn. fimbrialis Scop. A pathological aberration has been described and figured by Reisser, from 
Oberweisen, small, bleached, with the lines of the forewing approximated, close to the hindmargin confluent. 
— ab. obsoleta Skala. White lines of upperside almost entirely obsolete, of underside also much less distinct 
than in the type form. Nikolsburg, Moravia. — magnata A. Fuchs ( = major Warnecke) (3 c). This Asiatic 
race was briefly noted in the Addenda to Vol. 4, p. 415, but the size was not given and the only locality speci¬ 
fied was Transcaspia; thus it seems to have been overlooked by Warnecke, who re-named it in 1930, specifying 
Issyk-kul, Alexander Mountains, Togus Tjurae and Aksu. Fuchs (Jahrb. Nass. Ver. Nat. Vol. 56, p. 53) ad¬ 
opts a trade-name magnata for such Asiatic forms as ‘church besondere GroBe hervorragen", gives the length 
of a forewing as 19 mm and mentions that his is from Tura. The best-known localities are those given by 
Warnecke. We figure a large <$ from Issyk-kul. 
Th. chlorosaria Graeser (3 d). Warnecke is inclined to support Graeser’s contention that this is a 
separate species, and this is likely to be right; the lines show less sinuosities and the postmedian of the fore¬ 
wing is not, or scarcely, curved inward to the costa; the forewing, moreover, is decidedly less elongate anteriorly 
than in jimbrialis magnata. To the localities given in Vol. 4 must be added N. China; we figure a $ from 
Tsingtau, Shantung.
