of hindwing beneath, nearly as in multifaria <$. Forewing with markings nearly as in literataria but relatively 
larger, the postmedian with more prominences; hindwing more distinctly marked on the upperside, the post¬ 
median with a stronger central projection. Yulongkong-Wali (S. of Ta-tsien-lu), 11 200—12 000 feet, 27 June 
(Kelley-Roosevelt Expedition of 1929), type in the Tring Museum. 
52. Genus: ]j<ol>ogoiio<lcs Bastelb. 
I have merged in this genus, established in 1909, my Microlygris (Vol. 4, p. 207), as most of the characters 
agree. Since there are, however, two sections, according to the characters of the $ forewing, both names can 
be conserved subgenerically. The type of Lobogonodes is permarmorata Bastelb. (10 f) from Formosa, with 
which I associate a second Formosan species ( taiwana Wileman <b South) and the Palaearctic erectaria (Vol. 4, 
pi. 13 d). The genus has a limited range, which is sufficiently indicated by these notes. 
A. Forewing of the with hair-pencil beneath, 1st m e d i a n vein free 
(Microlygris). 
L. complicata Btlr. (Vol. 4, pi. 13 a) is not, as it was made to appear, conspecific with the following; complicata. 
had it been so, the priority would have been reversed, for complicata was published in 1879, multistriata not 
until 1888. In the former, the cell-spot of the forewing is indistinct, not white-ringed, the distal area brighter 
ochreous-brown, the oblique white streak near the apex is wanting, etc. Besides Japan, it is only known to 
me from Formosa, in an unnamed race. 
L. multistriata Btlr. (= porphyriata Hmps., nec Moore.) (Vol. 4, pi. 12 a as porphyriata), fairly com- multistriata. 
mon from the eastern Punjab to Masuri (type from Dharmsala), was misidentified by Hampson as ]porphyriata 
and has since passed under that name. It has a race, sometimes scarcely differentiable, in Sikkim and the 
Khasis, which will be dealt with in Vol. 12. — atherma subsp. nov. (10 f) has the white lines more sharply developed, atherma. 
the dark parts more uniformly olive-brown mixed with fuscous, with scarcely any suggestion of the bicoloured 
median area of m. multistriata. Kwanhsien, 17 July 1928, type ^ in my collection. — clasis subsp. nov. Consi- clasis. 
derably smaller than m. multistriata (the length of a forewing 9 — 11 mm), coloration less warm (intermediate 
towards atherma), 5tli line about as sharply angled as in multistriata, outer markings more as in the Sikkim 
race. Yoshino, Yamato, in May, June and July and (1 $) October (A. E. Wileman), a series in the British 
Museum, besides 1 from Osaka, 30 Jidy. Here belong also the Corean (Gensan) examples which were er¬ 
roneously referred to complicata in Vol. 4 (p. 207). 
L. porphyriata Moore (10 f). Larger than multistriata (length of a forewing 12,5 — 16 mm); forewing porphyriata. 
with the elongate cell-mark ringed with very pale brown instead of with white, first two white lines less approx¬ 
imated, rather more oblique, 5th line (1st antemedian) broadened, outermost pair profoundly indented on both 
the medians, subterminal only shortly indented on 5th subcostal. Hindwing with termen scarcely angled at 
3rd radial; very feebly marked excepting a narrow posterior part. Dharmsala and Dalhousie. Moore's originals 
from Darjiling and 2 Sikkim $$ are large (14.5—16 mm, against 12.5—14 mm for the N. W. Indian), but I 
find no other difference. Its comparative rarity has led to the misidentification of multistriata from the same 
localities (see above). 
B. Forewing of the without hair-pencil, 1st median vein more or 
less stalked (Lobogonodes). 
L. erectaria Leech (Vol. 4, pi. 13 d). Very local, chiefly on Yezo, June — August, but occurs also in the erectaria. 
vicinity of Kioto in May and on Mt. Daisen in August. 
L. permarmorata Bastelb. (lOf). A rather large species, with much less sinuous postmedian line than permarmo- 
the rest, a broad white apical dash on forewing, both wings with the cell-dot broadly ringed with white. rata - 
Formosa. Mentioned here because a worn $ from Tu-pa-keo, Szechuan, 7400 feet (Kelley-Roosevelt Ex¬ 
pedition) seems to agree exactly with it. 
53. Genus: Eustroma Hbn. 
(See Vol. 4. p. 207.) 
E. reticulata Schiff. (Vol. 4, pi. 8 e) obsoleta Djakonov. On an average smaller than normal, lighter, the obsoleta. 
black markings reduced; differs from all the other named forms in that the middle of the forewing from the 
hindmargin to the costal spot remains white, almost without markings. Kamtshatka. — dictyota subsp. nov. didyota. 
(10 f) is much browner, with the transverse lines of the forewing more slender, the white markings of the hind¬ 
wing less developed. In the typical form the brown androconial patches of the hindwdng above and of the fore¬ 
wing beneath are somewhat reduced, the former somewhat darkened, suggesting the possibility of a separate
