I regret that I altogether overlooked the fact that this striking (perhaps unique) form had already been named 
by Thierry-Mieg (Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg., Vol. 54, p, 384, 1910). We figure the type of both names. — ab. 
joannisi Schawerda has the median band of the forewing darkened throughout. Type a J from Soalheira, 
Portugal, sent to Schawerda by the Abbe Joannis. — ab. culoti Schawerda (Vol. 4. pi. 8 a, as peribolata). 
Although Hubner's type figure was founded on a French specimen, it represents the dark form wdiich is well 
known from Albarracin, etc.; the paler one, which we figured as peribolata, has therefore been named culoti; 
the type pair come from Cambo la Bergerie. The somewhat isolated colony which inhabits Guernsey is so 
similar to the rest of these light, bright forms that I do not think it needs a separate name. — chouika 
Oberth. (= magna Prout ) (7 g). The synonymy of this large Algerian race was given in Vol. 4, p. 419 (un¬ 
fortunately misprinted clionica in the German edition). We now give a figure. Some Spanish examples 
closely approach it. 
0. duplicate Wan. subfimbriata subsp. (? sp .) nov. (Vol. 4, pi. 12 b, as duplicata) differs from the 
typical duplicata of Sikkim-Tibet in having a better developed smoky band at or close to the termen of the 
hindwing above, divided by a white subterminal line. Locally common in W. China, the type series from 
Tschang-kou, good material also from Ta-tsien-lu, etc. Variable, but the general strength of the hindwing 
markings well maintained; in the $, and sometimes in the one sees further a more or less distinct post¬ 
median line on the upperside of this wing. The genitalia of typical duplicata, so far as yet investigated, are 
somewhat intermediate between this and the following, so perhaps all three should rank as species. 
0. eurypeda sp. n. (7 g). Appreciably larger than duplicata (length of a forewing 20—22 mm; in sub¬ 
fimbriata generally between 16 and 19 mm), the palest parts of the forewing white, almost or altogether 
without the yellowish tinge, either dead white or with a faint suggestion of violet-whitish, the hindwing very 
white, quite weakly marked unless in the abdominal region, the terminal band almost obsolete or, if present, 
very narrow. Constant distinctions in the forewing markings are hard to find; the dark bands are perhaps 
a trifle browner (less velvety blackish) and the lines outside the last of these bands generally show, on close 
attention, some small differences: the whitish subterminal line, which immediately succeeds the band, is 
generally less yellow, more slender and commonly traceable less far forward (in subfimbriata it sometimes 
cuts off the apical streak from the last band), the brown line and the blue-whitish one which stand between 
this and the fine terminal line are less sharp, the former of them almost always without the blacker inter- 
neural dots which catch the eye in nearly all subfimbriata. The q genitalia show sufficient differences to in¬ 
dicate a separate species; the distal part of the valve is narrower, more pointed, the saccus broader, the 
aedoeagus stouter. Tchang-kou, 15 $<$, 3 from the Oberthur collection; also from Ta-tsien-lu and 
Hou-kow. 
0. coelinaria Grasl. It appears that I interpreted the expression “fusco-subnigrum” in the description 
of the median area of Graslin's original too literally and it is now customary to separate the tw r o forms 
coelinaria and (ab., nec subsp.) fugicola solely by the grey, resp. ochreous ground-colour of the forewing. 
Understood in this sense, my material entirely supports Zerny’s experience (Eos, Vol. 3, p. 407) that there 
occur various transitions. — ab. jugicola Stgr. (7 li). We figure a $ from Albarracin. 
0. kashghara Moore (Vol. 4, pi. 6 h). By a misprint in the German edition (p. 161), this name was 
given as kashgara, not only in the text but in the margin. The original spelling should be restored. 
0. subvicinaria Stgr. (14 k). We are now able to give a figure of this species. It should have been added 
to its differentiation from vicinaria (Vol. 4, p. 162) that the angulation of the postmedian line of the hind¬ 
wing is somewhat more acute. A Hungarian S (Meleg-Fbldvar, 29 April) determined by Rebel as subvicinaria 
is larger than vicinaria from the S. Tyrol and Valais, median band broader, postmedian line with a small 
indentation, which is wanting (or at least, minute) in vicinaria. This description and the accompanying figure 
show little likeness to Caucasian subvicinaria, but more recall vicinaria brunnescens. — libanaria Prout (Vol. 4, 
pi. 12 b) is, according to Zerny, “doubless only a lighter, more sand-coloured race of subvicinaria'’. Examples 
thus recorded, though not quite exact to my type, were collected at the beginning and middle of June in the 
cedar forest above Bscharre (ca. 1900 m), but were not common. 
0. vicinaria Dup. illyriacaria Schawerda. Generally smaller than typical vicinaria; coloration more 
whitish grey, lacking the dark-brown bordering of the median area of the forewing, which remains at the 
most dark-grey. Underside pale, glossy, without markings except the weak cell-dot of the hindwing. Founded 
on material from Zengg, Croatia. 
0. burgaria Ev. (Vol. 4, pi. 8 a) has recently been recorded by Dioszeghy from the Retyezat Moun¬ 
tains, but, to judge from his figure, his burgaria is likely to be a form of vicinaria , perhaps near illyriacaria.
