the S. European forms, whereas the English approaches ornata, which at least occurs among it as an aberra¬ 
tion. — cinereata Stgr. (8 i) becomes a local race in the Mediterranean countries and perhaps intergrades with 
the plumbeata of N. Africa. We figure a $ from Albarracin. 
Ch. linogrisearia Const. (8 h). Having now seen examples of this exclusively Corsican form, I am 
strongly inclined to agree with those entomologists who regard it as a good species. 
Ch. korbi Bohatsch (8 h). A short series from Marasch, determined by Wehrli, enables us to provide a 
figure. Rebel records it from Angora, perhaps in a racially distinguishable form, somewhat larger, not “flesh- 
colour'’ hut with the costal part a reddish reed-colour with the veins darkened (brownish), the broadly brown- 
scaled 3rd subcostal particularly conspicuous.

(See Vol. 4, p. 175.) 
A. lythoxylata Hbn. (Vol. 4, pi. 8 a). Bulgaria (Witoscha and Rila-Dagh, 1500 — 2000 m) is to be added 
to the range in Europe. Balestre has found larvae on Vaccinium in the Maritime Alps (1700—1900 m) hut 
so far as I know they have not yet been described. — christophi subsp. nov. is slightly narrower winged, the 
distal margin of the forewing and its lines appearing slightly more oblique, the postmedians sometimes inclined 
to curve inwards at costa; both wings duller in colour, the forewdng more tinged with cinnamon or fawm, the 
hindwing more clay-colour; terminal shade of forewing rarely strong. Manglis, Transcaucasia, 4 SS * n the 
British Museum, ex coll. Christoph. 
A. mundata Stgr. (8 h). We figure a Beyrout specimen from the Wehrli collection. The already given 
differentiation from mundulata is probably adequate (Vol. 4, p. 176). 
A. mundulata Guen. (8 i). We also give a figure of typical mundulata from the same source; but the 
distinctions between this and the ab. submundulata (Vol. 4, pi. 8 a) do not seem very vital and as our previously 
figured example was from the Jordan Valley it should perhaps have been regarded as name-typical mundulata. 
A. praeformata Hbn. ab. latefasdata Nitzsche. Median band of the forewing of equal breadth through¬ 
out. Described from Freiwaldau, Silesia. 
A. annexata Frr. ab. infuscata Prout (7 i). We give a figure of the type, a $ and Wehrli has it from 
S. E. Kansu. 
A.poneformata Stgr. (6 b). Sterneck records a few specimens from Wassekou and Sunpanting, W. China. 
A. plagiata L. ab. ruberata Rbl. (6 a). For convenience of reference, we reproduce the type figure of 
this aberration. — ab. kautzi Schawerda. Wholly dark-brown, the base, median bands and termen darkest; 
a very slightly more extreme development of ab. suffusa Prout (Vol. 4, p. 177), with which I would have united 
it. A $ from Attersee.;ab. rsigrescens Hannemann is again almost a synonym, but is black-grey instead of brown, 
median bands not confluent, the entire area from thence to the termen strongly darkened. The type bred 
from Riidersdorf. — ab. ( ?) dissoluta Dannehl is said to be large (a first-brood form), the lines quite thin and 
isolated, the hindwing too rosy for “f. pallidata” (see efformata ); perhaps really efformata first brood, as Dannehl 
in this article mixes that species with plagiata. His type-locality is S. Tyrol (Mendel and Terlan). — cypria 
subsp. nov. (9 a). Somewhat darker, greyer, decidedly more uniform in aspect, neither the dark lines nor the 
whitish subterminal being so strongly expressed. Cyprus: Limassol, flying from October to February, ap¬ 
parently common. Type in the British Museum. 
A. corsalta Schawerda (9 a). Extremely similar to some forms of plagiata , probably sometimes scarcely 
distinguishable, apart from the locality. Described as intermediate in size between typical plagiata and typical 
efformata, of a steel-grey colour, with fine blackish lines and bands, the reel-grey or brownish suffusion on the 
apical streak wanting, the underside also more greyish, without the rosy suffusions of plagiata , the antemeclian of 
the forewing costally has a slightly different orientation. The abdomen is relatively shorter and broader than in 
plagiata and the genitalia show definite distinctions. Bytinski-Salz (Int. Ent. Zeitschr., Vol. 28, p. 136) has 
figured side by side the $ valves of plagiata , corsalta, sardalta and efformata. corsalta w r as first discovered in 
the Monte d’Oro district (Corsica) at 1300 m altitude, but has since been taken at somewhat lower elevations 
(1100 m). A single example from Gennargentu (Sardinia, 1700 m) recorded by Bytinski-Salz shows a distinct 
brown shading to the apical streak and will perhaps prove to represent a distinct race. 
A. sardalta Bytinski-Salz, founded on a <$ from the Gennargentu district, 1700 m, captured on 12 July, 
is said to strike the eye as unfamiliar when compared with plagiata and corsalta “but it is hard to say exactly 
in what this difference consists'’. The ground-colour is cleaner grey than in plagiata, the grey scaling finer. 
The 3 principal bands of the forewing stand out more, on account of the comparative suppression of the sub¬ 
ordinate markings; they are a trifle narrower than in corsalta and almost lack the longitudinal partitioning 
which is generally conspicuous in plagiata. The genitalia belong to the efformata-corsalta group, nearest to those
