type. ■— ab. depupillata Dannehl is a further development, with the cell-marks entirely wanting. —* ab. simplex depupillata. 
Th.-Mi$Z'(= alogaria Schawenla) lacks also the transverse markings, becoming unicolorous. Thierry-Mieg’s ampler. 
type was collected in the Pyrenees-Orientales, together with forms in which the outer row of dots remains 
visible. Schawerda records it from Pola and several examples from Zengg. —- ab. scorteata F. Wagn. (= de- smrtcnla. 
colorata Dannehl ) is pale leather-yellow, the antithesis of the bright red ab. badiaria. Named from Dalmatia. 
— ab. fasciata F. Wagn., also from Dalmatia, is a more striking aberration, with the median shade on both fasciata. 
wings broadened and exceptionally dark. — calaritana Trti., described as a species (see Vol. 4, p. 146), proves calariiana. 
to be merely a large, robust early-spring form of pwppillaria, generally well coloured; its author considerably 
over-estimated its antennal pectinations. Similar forms occur in S. Dalmatia in March (F. Wagner). I have 
also seen such from Corsica and Capri. —- lilacinipes Schaus. “Wings shaped as in punctaria, not narrow and lilacinipes. 
pointed as in maderensis ; vertex covered with reddish ochreous scales, cheeks wdiite, front dusky lilacine; 
anterior legs rosy lilac in front; thorax and base of abdomen dorsally warm terra-cotta red. abdomen paler ami 
yellow, the segments with a dorsal lilacine spot, dark in middle; wings above warm terra-cotta red, with a pale 
dusky median band across both, but no other conspicuous markings; postmedian dots in very irregular series; 
half way between median band and base a few' (3) obscure dots; costa irrorated with lilacine markings; fringe 
pinkish. Expanse 29 mm.” Funchal, Madeira, 1 $. It will almost certainly prove to be an aberration or local 
race of puppillaria. — granti subsp. nov. (4 d). Smaller than any but the most exceptional p. puppillaria , forewing granti. 
scarcely so broad, median shade closer to the cell. Both the known examples are of a deeper reddish and more 
heavily dark-irrorated than any but a very few of the most extreme p. puppillaria , the costal edge of the fore- 
wing clear bright red; the paratype has the median shade much weaker than the type, which is the specimen 
figured. May w'ell prove much more variable (as with continental forms). Azores: San Pedro, Sta. Maria, 
2 March 1903 (W. R. Ogilvie-Grant), 2 $$ in the Tring Museum, the paratype labelled “ pupillaria ab. ba¬ 
diaria ”; Reguinho, Terceira, 2200 feet, 6 April 1903, 1 in the British Museum. Distinguishable from the 
following, which Warren also determined as “pupillaria”, by the more produced apex of forewing, more bent 
hindwing, reddish, black-centred abdominal spots, more deeply coloured wings, differently formed (but almost 
obsolete) postmedian dots, etc. 
C. maderensis B.-Bak. azorensis Prout (4e). Considerably smaller (not ,,slightly” so, as stated in Vol. 4), azorensis. 
somewhat broader-winged, esjDecially in the GS °f the typical (San Jorge) series. Reddish irroration generally 
denser; median shade slightly more oblique, commonly very thick and strong; postmedian dots often con¬ 
nected by a complete line, both above and beneath; cell-dot small. Possibly a separate species. Azores: Ter¬ 
ceira, Graciosa, San Jorge, Fayal and Ilha do Pico. — trilineata Prout (4 e). The scope of this name, of which trilincata. 
the type specimen is in the British Museum from La Laguna, Teneriffe, bred from Erica arborea (notwithstanding 
the unfortunate insertion regarding the Azores form), should be widened so as to cover the race from the Cana¬ 
ries. On an average smaller than m. maderensis, perhaps more brightly coloured, antemedian dots (according 
to Rebel) oftener obsolete, cell-spots small, only w r eakly dark-ringed, median shade (when strongly deve - 
loped) showdng no curve on posterior part of forewing, postmedian (when developed) not punctiform. 
C. quercimontaria Bastelb. (Vol. 4, pi. 4eQ. As was expected, this interesting Cosymbia lias been found in quercimon- 
many additional localities since it became more widely recognized. In Germany and Austria it has a very wide 
range, in France it reaches the vicinity of Paris, in Holland it lias recently been discovered at Berg-en-Dal, near 
Nijmegen, the Tring Museum has a few' specimens from Hungary (Bihar and Mezoseg), Switzerland produces it 
in a few r localities and the late Mr. J. W. Ttjtt took one at An Pra, Vaudois Valley, Piedmont. — elbursica etbursica. 
subsp. nov. (4 e) shows slightly more approach to punctaria in shape, is very warmly coloured throughout 
(slightly more reddish than the South American angeronaria Warr.) and lias the antemedian as well as the 
median line marked with darker red, the white cell-marks very small, linear. The abdomen and the valves 
appear somewhat more slender than in quercimontaria, the sacculus arms (fibulae) highly developed, elegantly 
crossed (at least in this specimen). Elburz Mountains, 1 $ in the Tring Museum, collected at Darekeroudbar, 
Sabatku, Mazanderan, 20 July 1931. Perhaps a new species, but in any case representing quercimontaria in 
North Persia. 
C. ruficiliaria H.-Sch. (Vol. 4, pl.4Q). The suggested synonym hybridaria Selys and — at least for the ruficiliaria. 
present — the locality Belgium must be deleted. M. Derenne has examined the originals in the Selys- 
Longchamps collection and finds them to belong to linearia ; they are further discussed below, under that 
species. More doubt remains regarding the other older name which might have to replace ruf iciliaria, namely 
unilinearia Scharfenb.; although its author definitely differentiated it from punctaria, he did not hit upon the 
salient features of the present species and may well have had before him an aberrant form of the variable 
punctaria. Beyond the recorded range, ruficiliaria occurs in Spain and ( ?) Holland. 
C. hyponoea sp. n. (4 e). Very similar to some (rather rare) examples of ruficiliaria ab. privataria in hyponoea. 
which ill-defined subterminal spots are developed, placed about as in porata; cell-dots dark-ringed (likewise
