apical white mark enlarged, its principal part broad and longitudinal in the end of cellule 6. Hindwing with more 
extended smoky suffusions than in the name-type, leaving only the costal part (scarcely to cell-fold and 2nd 
radial) and the postmedian line white. Japan: Hot Spring Hoppo, Nagaro-ken, end of July (I. Sttgitani), 
type in the British Museum; Yoshino, Yamato, June 1899, 1 C (A. E. Wileman). 
L. albicinctata Pung. (11 a). Has been recorded by Sterneck from Sunpanting, to which can be added 
Ta-tsien-lu and Ta-ho, etc. (Chinese Tibet). — eminens form. nov. (11a) is a large form, or perhaps separate 
species, of which I have only seen a pair, collected for Oberthitr on the “eastern frontier of Tibet.” More 
warmly coloured, especially the (almost) orange bands of the forewing; antemedian white line straighter from 
costa to the angle at median vein (which angle is less acutely produced), apical mark slighter, less clean white, 
hindwing in the $ darker; above and beneath much more strongly marked; both wings beneath with distinct 
brown band outside the postmedian. 
L.agnes Btlr. (Vol. 4, pi. 11 h) festinaria Christ. (11 b) seems to have broader white subterminal, at 
least on the hindwing; but if it is a separable race I think it belongs to Yezo as well Ussuri, agues being the 
Hondo form. A better differentiated race inhabits Formosa. 
L. pyraliata Schijf. (Vol. 4, pi. 8 g). Cockayne has recently described and figured a larva with spiral 
segmentation, the first record of this abnormality in the Geometridae. — ab. aurantiodeleta Schawerda. Likeab. 
deleta Strand but with the ground-colour light reddish yellow. The type from Vucijabara, Herzegovina. Bang- 
Haas (Novit. Macrolep., Vol. 2, p. 220) erroneously registers also “A. populata ab. aurantiodeleta.” 
58. Genus: Gamlaritis Moore. 
(See Vol. 4, p. 214.) 
G. fixseni magnifica Prout (Vol. 4, pi. 8 f.) ab. ( ? subsp. div.) tristis Sterneck. Strikingly darkened; fore¬ 
wing with merely a small white costal spot before the middle, the large apical spot (which is here white, not 
yellow) and obsolescent whitish subbasal and antemedian lines, the rest dark brown, without markings. Hind¬ 
wing as far as the postmedian entirely dark-brown, with two yellow bands, the proximal one continuous, the 
distal broken into lunules. Ta-tsien-lu, 1 As this is the only fixseni recorded from W. China its status is 
uncertain. 
59. Genus: Ciriarhi Tr. 
Subgenus Cidaria Tr. 
(See Vol. 4, p. 215.) 
C. fulvata Forst. (Vol. 4, pi. 8 g) ab. lineata Wehrli. Hindwing with a distinct dark postmedian line. A 
very rare development, typified by an example from the Solothurn Jura. — ab. arearuptata Sitovski is diagnosed 
as smaller, paler, forewing with median area interrupted. Poland and elsewhere, especially (?) in Eastern Europe. 
deguttata Dannehl (Karwendel and Carnic Alps) is a synonym, for the size and pale colour are non-essential. Mos¬ 
ley has figured an arearuptata (without name) from the Isle of Man. — ab. costovata Nitsche ( = kolari Drenow- 
ski) has lost the posterior spot of arearuptata, only a small costal spot (very small in the type costovata, Kastel- 
ruth, Dolomites) remaining. - nugata Feld. (Vol. 4, pi. 13 o). I have subsequently compared Felder’s type with 
Issyk-kul distinctata in the Tring Museum and noted only the dark basal patch and rather narrower and more 
angularly margined central band as distinguishing the latter. 
C.basharica 0. B.-Haas (11 b). Bright yellow, the forewing with basal and median areas reddish-brown, 
much as in ochracearia Leech (Vol. IV, pi. 130), but differing in the shape of the median area and in the angled 
basal patch. Hindwing with the postmedian line present, in the type “distinct”. Bashar, Poo, Schipki Pass, 
4000 m, collected in July. Possibly a subspecies of ochracearia. 
C. ochripennis Prout. As a synonym is to be added staudingeri Wnuk. Like most authors who exercise 
themselves with name-giving in groups with which they are unfamiliar, Wnukowsky has burdened us with an 
unnecessary name. 
C. deletaria Pimps. (11 b), founded on a single 3 (misprinted in the original description) from Kok- 
sar, Kashmir, is rather long-winged, with smooth face, longish palpus and rather strongly oblique discocellulars 
of the hindwing, the type of pattern also suggesting that it belongs to the typical section of Cidaria, though it 
does not seem so closely related to the rest of them as they do one another; much less yellow, forewing beneath 
witz more extended suffusions than above, 
C. miyakei Matsumura. In deference to its author’s opinion that it “belongs no doubt to the subgenus 
Cidaria” , I quote this species here, but it is compared with munitata , though with simple antenna; pale grey; 
forewing with a broad fuscous median band which is proximally angled at the median vein, distally waved but 
not angled; cell-spot black, conspicuous; hindwing with cell-dot and traces (distinct in posterior half) of wavy
