bearing pectinations of the <$ are there very rare, I think otherwise unknown in the Palaearctic Region (En¬ 
tile S. dimoera Front and sordida Warr. of S. India, see Vol. 12). 
C. humifusaria Ev. (Vol. 4, pi. 4 a). I have now examined considerable material, from localities ranging from 
Morocco to the Hi district, and find exceedingly little variation in it and apparently nonetliat can be considered 
geographical. It is evidently one of those species which have found a very perfect adjustment to their environ¬ 
mental needs. — ab. reducta Th.-Mieg merely refers to an undersized specimen (<J) from Andalusia. 
C. andalusiaria F. Wagn., just published, is said to be on an average somewhat larger and more robust, 
more chocolate-brown, the white markings much restricted, cell-spots less prominent, forehead not white, $ 
pectinations and ciliations much stronger. Andalusia and Murcia. The figures which are to elucidate the 
antennal differences have not yet appeared; all the forms before me have similar antennae, but these do not 
include Andalusian or Anatolian possibly it is the Anatolian, as its author first suspected, which requires 
a new name. 
23. Genus: Eiiiiniltis Hbn. 
E. pygmaearia Him. teriolensis Dannehl is said to be darker, more olive-grey than the Italian forms 
which, for purposes of comparison, Dannehl regards as name-typical, the markings more slender. Recorded 
from various localities in the Tyrol. — gen. aest. vannaria Dannehl. Smaller, somewhat lighter, also inclining 
to olive-grev, the markings more complete and bandlike. Type from Gardasee. Considered to be the second 
generation of teriolensis rather than of the name-type, but a more scientific working-out of this variable species 
is still a desideratum. — sirentina Dannehl, provisionally proposed for the forms from the Sirent, Sabine and 
Alban Mountains, is much more yellow-brown, in general somewhat larger, perhaps relatively longer-winged 
and with heavier markings than teriolensis. Unfortunately the originals, like most of Hubner's Geometridae, 
were undescribed, therefore of unknown oiigin. They are shown dark, but not olivaceous, and I cannot match 
them; moreover, minutaria V.. from Italy, which perhaps refers to this species, will also have to be taken into 
account in revising the nomenclature. 
24. Genus: Aiitliometra Bsd. 
A. plumularia Bsd. ab. unicolorana Dufrane. Absolutely uniform dark reddish ochre, with no trace 
of darker lines. —• ab. fusca Dufrane. Darker, almost black, the lines lost in the ground-colour. Both these are 
from Soalheira, Portugal. 
25. Genus : Cleta Dup. 
The species which was tentatively, but quite erroneously, referred here on p. 417 of Vol. 4, has since 
been assigned to its correct position'with Scopula gastonaria (see p. 34). No fresh additions have been made 
to Cleta. 
C. ramosaria Vill. (5g). We figure a Spanish example of the name-typical race. Dr. Wehrli, who shares 
the suspicion that transiens may be a separate species, has recorded the latter from Chiclana, thereby adding 
Andalusia to its known range. 
C. cinneretharia Amsel. About 2 mm larger than transiens. Brown-yellow, without darkening of basal 
area and border; lines of both wings less waved, the median on forewing almost straight, exactly midway 
between ante- and postmedian, cell-dot of hindwing entirely wanting above, quite weakly indicated beneath; 
fringe-dots more distinct than in transiens, less proximally placed; underside similar, the lines still schaiper.

26. Genus: JSterrha Hbn. 
Almost all authorities, at least as regards our Palaearctic fauna, are now agreed that the distinction 
between Sterrha and Ptychopoda on the basis of the number of spurs on the <$ hindtibia is not of generic 
value. It is therefore necessary to call the entire assemblage by the older name of Sterrha. The diversities of 
structure as regards secondary sexual characters in the <$ form an extremely interesting but apparently 
interminable study, especially when one comes to deal with the exotic forms. It is possible that some of the 
groups which are founded on these structures really constitute valid genera, but hitherto I have not felt able 
to draw a line of demarcation; in the Lepidopterum Catalogus, no less than 548 species of Sterrha are 
registered, and this must be very far short of the world’s total. 
For convenience of reference, I have retained the sectionising according to the <$ tibial armature.
