CALOCALPE. By L. B. Prout.

the median area proximally and distally, the median area itself containing a clear yellowish patch anteriorly. 
Founded on 2 $$ from Schonberg, Moravia. — ab. mediofasciata Bubacek. Median area of forewing forming mediofascia- 
a solid black-brown band, the lighter parts of the wing comparatively free from markings. Rekawinkel, bred 
from larva. — ab. rebel'! Nitsche is said to differ from the preceding in that the same scheme is continued also rebeli. 
(though somewhat less strongly) on the hindwing. Sieveringer Wald. As, however, L jungdahl’s Swedish 
figure (Ent. Tidskr., Vol. 37, fig. 35 B), which, though narrower-banded, Bubacek cites to mediofasciata , shows 
also this tendency, I incline to think the name rebeli superfluous. — ab. flavonigrofasciata (Zool. Rec., Vol. 62) 
Horhammer (ex Schepp, non binom.) is again almost a synonym, the ground-colour clay-yellow instead of greyish, 
the black median band offset by a pale area on either side. Schepp founded his conception on a number bred 
from Heidelberg. — hawelkae Schawerda is described as having the wings slightly narrower and more pointed haweikae. 
than in the type (but not undersized like simplonica), light grey without any trace of brown; different from 
ab. griseata Bastelb. in that the markings are weak. The 4 originals from Gacko, which established the first 
record of the species for Herzegovina, were pretty constant and were assumed to indicate the existence of a 
local race. — The pupa of cervinalis has been carefully described and figured by Ljitagdahl; the “short fork 
of the cremaster (Vol. 4, p. 200) is not Y-shaped, as for instance in T. dubitata , but V-shaped and there are 
6 supplementary hooklets, 4 lateral and 2 dorsal. 
C. veternata Christ. (= veterenata Stgr.) (10 b). We figure a $ from Vladivostok. The description vetemata. 
Vol. 4 (p. 200) is probably adequate.

C. ex^ultata Christ. (Vol. 4, pi. 8 d, as exultata). Staudwger adds Central China to the range. The exfultata. 
subterminal line is generally a good deal more deeply lunulate than in cervinalis, but it varies and (very rarely) 
seems to cut athwart the differentiation by the shape of the median band. 
C. montivagata Dup. (Vol. 4, pi. 5 k). Zerny regards both the Albarracin examples and those of the montivagaia. 
Sierra Nevada as indistinguishable from the Astrabad form and therefore necessarily sinks andalusica Ribbe to 
hyrcana Stgr.] Reisser has recently recorded a single, defective example from Izilan (Riff Mountains) under 
the same synonymy, as it seems to agree with the Spanish. If these authors are correct, one must assume that 
hyrcana is the phylogenetic (though not the nomenclatural) type and that a separate race has evolved only 
in Alps. I have no Persian material accessible, but an example from the Taurus looks somewhat different and 
I cannot venture a pronouncement on the synonymy. 
C. ithys sp. n. (10 b). Smaller than normal montivagata and much more contrastingly marked (differing ithys. 
even more from Sierra Nevada montivagata than they from the typical forms of the Alps); it would, however, 
have been regarded as a race but that the $ hindleg is definitely less highly specialized: femur almost as 
rough-tufted, tibia in part roughly clothed, but without the terminal tuft which in montivagata projects along 
the 1st tarsal joint, the latter swollen, but less so than in montivagata. Environs of Lambese: Sgag, July 1913

C. fasciaria , but Dr. Wehrli writes me that it differs from our figure (Vol. 4, pi. 11 e) in its darker ground¬ 
colour and sharper terminal line, besides the much less distinct cell-dot of the forewing, the $ also in its costally 
broader, and in its proximal half darker, median band and the more sharply marked distal area; the $, which, 
however, is considerably worn, is lighter, with the band darker, narrower and more parallel-sided. Some of 
these deviations are individual, some due to imperfections in the figure, but the terminal line is important and 
the hair-tuft of the hindwing is black in sideritaria.

C. grisearia Leech (10 b) seems well distributed in Szechuan, perhaps commonest in the Ta-tsien-lu grisearia.

C. tristis Prout (Vol. 4, pi. 12 b). Our figure is too brown. But the species varies considerably, or per- tristis. 
haps includes a mixture; a few very glossy specimens, sometimes of a more olive- grey tone, have some¬ 
what puzzled me, but I cannot yet seen any ground for a separation. Steeneck's remark that tristis shows 
conspicuous yellowish spots or spots about the median vein in the centre of the forewing (such as is sometimes 
shown by grisearia, but not, I think, by alternata nudaria) is not borne out by the original series and I doubt 
the identification; on the other hand, a Sunpanting Calocalpe received from the Dresden Musum as “ grisearia” 
seems to me to be a rather pale tristis with well dentate postmedian and subterminal.
