PHILEREME. By L. B. Prout. 
corporaali. C. (?) corporaali Wehrli (13 c). Similar to grisearia, costa less convex, hindwing less deeply dentate; 
forewing with antemedian nob sharply angled in cell, merely excurved throughout, postmedian with its sub¬ 
costal prong less long, proximal boundary of distal area blurred, terminal line less continuous. Khardong, 
4100 m, 5 June 1929, 1 $ collected on the Dutch Karakoram Expedition. 
undulata. C. undulata L. ( = palaearctica Bryk) (Vol. 4, pi. 8 d). The North American form, which has been named 
bluff (!) by Bryk, seems to be an ecological, if not a morphological “species”, as it is there gregarious and con- 
heinrichi. fined to wild cherry. — ab. heinrichi Hannemann has a very narrow, moniliform dark central band on the fore- 
nordstrdmi. wing, formed by the filling-in of the loop-like median markings. Berlin district. — ab. nordstromi Bryk (= medio- 
alba Maslowscy), on the contrary, has the two central groups of lines more widely separated than is normal, 
divi.sa. leaving clear a complete whitish band. Hoko, Scania ( nordstromi ); Zawiercie, Poland ( medioalba ). — ab. divisa 
Heinrich (= culoti Bryk) forms the transition to nordstromi, the whitish median patch being narrow (about 
1 mm) and tapering to a point towards the middle of the wing; Heinrich includes also modifications in which 
the pale patch reappears at hindmargin after its interruption. Berlin, Sweden, S. England, etc. For the rest, 
Bryk has made a minute study of the variation, which has some value as showing the possibilities in a rela- 
paucilineata. lively constant species but cannot be recommended as an example in nomenclature. — ab. paucilineata Bryk 
(= ljungdahli [Strand] Nordstrom) founded on a small $ from Blido figured by Ljungdahl, has the lines of 
the forewing much weakened, in the more than ordinarily suffused proximal area scarcely traceable; cell-mark 
malaisei. conspicuous; hindwing also weakly marked. — ab. malaisei Bryk. The loop-like median markings (“Eierstab” 
of Bryk) confusedly double, perhaps through the insertion of an additional line of dark shading between them. 
quinqueun- Uppland (Sweden). — ab. quinqueundulata Bryk. The last two dark “lines” of the forewing (bordering the sub- 
septemlinea- terminal) confluent into a waved band. — ab. septemlineata Bryk. The sixth “line” (proximal subterminal) 
ta. of the hindwing cleft by a fine whitish line, bringing up the total to 7. — ab. octolineata Bryk. A much rarer 
octolineata. development, with, in addition, the 3rd line beyond the cell-dot of the hindwing faintly duplicated, bringing the 
uddmanni. total to 8. — uddmanni Bryk , from Karelia, is uniformly pale (without the browner hue in median and terminal 
sajana. areas), the cell-spot of the forewing strong, the “Eierstab" inclined to be lost. — sajana Bryk. The confluence 
of the last two “lines" of the forewing (see quinqueundulata) is believed by Bryk to become characteristic of 
the Sajan race, but both this and the preceding were founded on quite inadequate material. 
inanata . C. inanata Christ. (Vol. 4, pi. 7 e). Suzuki has added Japan to the range of the species; I have not the 
detail concerning this. 
flavipes. C. flavipes Men. (10 c). We figure a $ of the name-typical Amurland race from Narva, S. Ussuri. - 
sachalinen- sachalinensis Matsumura, described (like the original flavipes) as an Abraxas, afterwards removed to Cidaria 
sls ' (Xanthorhoe), on account of an assumed relationship (notwithstanding the admittedly biangulate discocellulars) 
to abraxina Btlr., manifestly represents a form of flavipes, but whether an aberration or a local race I have no 
means of deciding. Spots of forewing somewhat reduced (especially the postmedian series), the median one at 
base of 2nd median branch small, comma-shaped, well isolated from costal; median and postmedian of hind¬ 
wing confined to abdominal region. S. Saghalien, 1 $. 
47. Genus: I*hilereme Hbn. 
(See Vol. 4, p. 204.) 
I have brought this forward in order to avoid separating it from the rest of its group by Photoscotosia, 
a course which I took solely for the sake of conserving the sequence of the Staudinger Catalog. 
vetustala . Ph. vetulata Schiff. (Vol. 4, pi. 8 a, b) vetustata Stgr. (not vestustata, as misprinted in the German edition) 
(10 c). We figure a from the Wehrli collection. 
scnescens . Ph. senescens Stgr. (10 c) was, according to the genitalia, rightly placed in this genus by Staudinger, 
but I do not consider his comparisons with G. montivagata and cervinalis (see Vol. 4, p. 205) particularly fortun¬ 
ate. In any case, a very distinct species. The A here figured is from Shahrud, the $ from Arwas, Transcaspia, 
collected in June. 
hastedonen - Ph. transversata Hufn. (Vol. 4, pi. 8 b) ab. hastedonensis Lambill. (10 c). We figure a from Epping 
sis . Forest. — ab. depicturata Niepelt is a modification of the same form, almost unicolorous grey but with the pale 
ticdiojascia - subterminal line well developed. Founded on a Magdeburg A - — at), mediofasciata Bubacek deviates in the 
ta . opposite direction; median area developed into a broad, solid black-brown band, markings of outer area ob- 
i - rror . solete. Type from the E. Pyrenees. —- terror Schawerda. According to Schawerda the melanic form becomes 
a local race in the Balkans and has received the above name; the extreme type, almost entirely black, comes 
japanaria . from Herzegovina. — japanaria Leech (10 d) remains very rare; besides the 2 originals not dated) I know- 
only a $ from Nikko, 2000 feet, 10 July 1893, in the Wileman collection. Sterneck, however, records from 
Sunpanting, W. China, 1 $ of this or a closely similar race.
