Sacculus longer than costa. comptaria Walk. 
A. Section. Uncus weak, with strong lateral appendages. 
G. rectisirigaria Ev. ab. obsoleta Prout. (Yol. 4, pi. 5g). This form should, according to Djakonov, 
be degraded to the status of an aberration, as it occurs in the same localities as the type. If it were a sub¬ 
species, the name would be inadmissible, since there exists an Indian C. obsoleta (Warr., 1897). Further ma¬ 
terial is now known from Kamtchatka and Amurland. 
G. amata L. ab. latistriga Phi. The oblique line on the forewing strongly thickened, with dentate prox¬ 
imal projections between the veins, on the hind wings still wider (1.5 —-2 mm), formings a wavy band. The 
type is Hungarian. — ab. serenata Dannehl lacks the usual irroration and has the oblique line slender and 
sharply expressed. S. Tyrol, not rare in the warmer spots. — ab. (? subsp.) griseata Petersen. This name was 
by an oversight given as grisearia in Vol. 4. It is possible, as Krulikovsky already suggested in 1908, that 
this should be united with the Scandinavian forms, which would be the typical amata L., and the brighter 
forms of Central and South Europe, etc., re-named. — recompta Prout (4 c) is the Eastern race or representative, 
on an average smaller, the grey irroration slight or (as in ab. serenata) entirely wanting, the oblique line brightly 
coloured, the terminal pink suffusion strong. The £ genitalia, so far as examined, show' the “scobinate flanges” 
of the <$ uncus (see Pierce, Genit. Geom., p. 36) more heavily armed and other slight differences. Ussuri (loc. 
typ.), Corea and Japan, formerly confounded with comptaria. —- comae A. Schmidt, if it belongs to amata , is 
a very remarkable form, but I am inclined to agree with its author that it will probably prove a separate spe¬ 
cies; unfortunately no other material is known from the locality. Length of a forewing 13 mm. The oblique 
line is faint, the apical dash accentuated above but almost obsolete beneath, the underside very heavily irro- 
rated. Murcia, 1 $■ 
C. comptaria Walk. (4 c). In its generally small size agreeing with amata recompta, but diverging from 
typical amata in the opposite direction, the irroration being strong, even in the second brood, the oblique line 
duller rufous, always mixed with black, not diffused distally, often thickened at apex; post-median line usu¬ 
ally distinct, on the hindwing more sharply angled than in typical amata-, terminal line dull, without pink 
suffusion; fringes generally tinged with pink. Uncus of $ much less blunt than in amata, its appendages more 
arm-like, sacculus long, free. Distributed from Japan and Ussuri to West China. Apparently represented in 
India by a closely related species, responsaria Moore. 
C. paralias sp. n. (4 c). A rather large species (35—37 mm), otherwise nearly related to comptaria. Pale 
in colour, freer from irroration than most comptaria, antemedian line of forewing present, though very slender, 
postmedian of hindwing with the outward bend fully as strong as in comptaria , cell-mark of forewing weak but 
elongate. The genitalia show several differences: arms of uncus somewhat longer and more sinuate, costa 
almost as long as valve, its upper edge bisinuate, its thumb-like process somewhat less proximally placed, sac¬ 
culus relatively shorter, fibula with a marked tooth at its bend near the tip, preceded by some slighter clenti- 
culation. The type here figured, was captured at Vladimir Bay, E. Siberia, among very thick vegetation 
at the mouth of the river, in the afternoon of 24 July 1899, and was kindly presented to me many years ago 
by its discoverer, Fleet Paymaster T. B. Fletcher. I have now' before me, in addition, a couple of $$ from 
Narva, S. Ussuri, 14 July 1921 (N. Kardakoff) and one specimen, also from Ongodai, Altai (Berezewsky). 
C. apieirosea sp. n. (4 d). Generally distinguishable by the extension of the oblique line into a more 
or less pronounced rosy suffusion at the apex of the forewing (but see dichela)-, otherwise extremely difficult 
to differentiate from comptaria, though the ground-colour is generally less ochreous-tinged. the said line is 
less slender and the postmedian of the hindwing perhaps on an average less strongly bent. Terminal line brown, 
very slender, fringe with a rosy spot at apex of forewing, otherwise whitish, not or scarcely suffused. The 
first brood, which flies in May and June, is nearly as large as paralias, in general rather strongly irrorated and 
strigulated with grey. — gen. aest. inturbida nov. (4 d) is considerably smaller, freer from grey scales, the rosy 
line in consequence brighter; all the dated specimens which I have seen were taken in August or September. 
Much more material will need to be studied before a precise analysis of apieirosea, by the wing-markings will 
be possible, but it is already known to me from Japan, Ussuri and a few' Chino-Tibetan localities (Siao-lou, 
Tien-tsuen); the types are Japanese, both in the Tring Museum: Takao-San, near Tokyo 18 June ( apieirosea) 
and 20 September 1925 {inturbida). The Sino-Tibetan are perhaps a race, rather smaller and paler than typical 
inturbida. The <$ genitalia, in addition to the remarkable lateral arms of the uncus (already given as diagnostic), 
differ from those of the two preceding in the somewhat shorter and almost straight fibula (not upeurved at
