CIDARIA. By L. B. Prout. 
violacearia. reached. — ab. violacearia Yorbrodt. Dark violet grey, without the cell-dot, a broad violet-grey shade developed 
proximally to the subterminal, the distal border of the forewing grey. Recalls unifasciata. Novaggio. — ab. 
hoyeri. hoyeri Pruffer. Median band uniformly black, cell-dot obsolescent, distal area orange-brownish, feebly marked, 
space between basal patch and median band also distinctly orange-tinged. Described from Cracow district, 
malaiaei. but of general occurrence. Parallel to quadrijasiata ab. thedenii — malaisei Djakonov (12 c) from Kamtchatka, 
has the forewing rather narrower and more pointed, the ground-colour more uniformly ochre-yellowish, the 
postmedian almost or qiut-e without projection. As the genitalia shows some slight deviations, this reads rather 
nujroiascut- like another separate species. I only know one worn specimen, which somewhat recalls asiatim (12c). — ab. rtigro- 
faseiata Djakonov has the median area black, corresponding to /. ferrugata ab. unidentaria. 
B. Antennal pectinations rudimentary, bearing fascicles of c i 1 i a. 
The name Ochyria is not applicable to this subsection, for the type of Ochyria, selected by Httlst, is 
quadrijasiata Cl. As it has — at least in part — a really close relationship to some Xanthorhoe, the division 
is more a matter of convenience than of phylogeny. C. apiciata, with elongate forewing and appreciably bi- 
angulate discocellulars of t lie hindwing, has been removed to Coenotephria. 
saivrata. C. saturata Guen. (Vol. 4, pi. 7 f). It lias not yet been found possible to establish the existence of 
separate races of this widely distributed but not particularly variable Cidaria. Tonkin and Formosa should 
be added to the given range; on the other hand South Africa is to be cancelled (see Vol. 16, p. 86, pi. 9 c, exorista 
Prout). The type locality of saturata is Pondicherry, of exliturata Walk. “S. India”, of livida and inamoena 
Btlr. Yokohama. Sterneck, in recording abundant material from Szechuan (Stotzner) stresses the prob¬ 
ability of its near relationship to ferrugata and the phylogenetic value of wing-pattern as compared with that 
of A antennal structure. 
angularia. C. angularia Leech (12 d) remains rare and has been little studied, but will probably prove to be a dark 
form (ab. loc.) of the following, with broader band than in typical biriviata. 
'hiriviafa. C. biriviata Bkh. (Vol. 4. pi. 9 e, as pomoeraria). Japan should be added to the range. Two Hokkaido 
$$ are almost typical; Hondo specimens seem to be angularia (see above). Some E. Siberian may be transitional. 
abditaria. — ab. abditaria H.-Sch. (12 d) is somewhat strange-looking on account of the different shape of the median 
band, but I would delete Staudinger’s query regarding the determination. The type, a $, came from Erlangen. 
iaiianaria. — ab. tatianaria Krulik. Basal area of forewing yellowish grey, with lighter lines very weakly marked, marginal 
area the same, with the post-median double stripe very little lighter, apical region strongly darkened. Viatka, 
rcduplicata. very rare, typical biriviata common. ab. reduplicata Heinrich. Median band divided into two separate bands 
by a grey central part. Bred in Berlin. As ab. divisa, Osthelder redescribed the same form from S. Bavaria. 
Extreme developments of it are rare, but intergradations quite frequent. 
designata. C. designata Hufn. (Vol. 4, pi. 9 e). Corsica has recently been added to the range, on a specimen taken 
at Vizzavona. Mr. W. C4. Sheldon, however, took designata at Bastelica in 1905. I have also before me a dark- 
marked example from the Elburz Mountains. The North American race, emendata Pearsall , differs slightly 
from the Old-World forms in the genitalia and has some claim to be treated as a separate species. — ab. 
■infcrrupta. interrupta Hannemann is merely described as having the median band of the forewing interrupted. — ab. suffusa 
suffusa. Hannemann has the forewing brownish grey with washed-out markings, the hindwing whitish. Both this and 
inversa. the preceding were described from Berlin. — ab. inversa Yorbrodt is dark ash-grey suffused with chestnut-brown, 
the median band of the forewing white, slightly dusted with yellow-brown. Haggen-Bruggen, Switzerland. 
binderi. ab. binderi Stauder (12d). Median band delicate rosy flesh-colour, with its dark markings relatively weak. 
hafnert. Type a from the Innsbruck district. — ab. haf fieri Stauder. Median band paler than usual, the ground-colour 
also pale, therefore not identical with ab. suffusa, though perhaps scarcely worthy of a name. Founded on 
standicaria. a pair from Crna Prst-, Carniola, 1300 m. islandicaria Stgr. (12 d). To the description in Vol. 4 (p. 228) add: 
distal area of forewing sometimes quite without markings except the pale brownish costal mark. Djakonov 
fa croc axis, notes some Sibirian forms as approaching the Icelandic. — faeroensis Wolff (— faroensis B.-Haas) (12 d). Median 
area of forewing whitish, with very little tinge of red. its proximal dark band broadened and intensified, its 
distal also greatly strengthened; basal patch usually with a dark admixture, hindwing often with some tendency 
to darker as far as the postmedian. Faroe Islands, common. Occasionally islandicaria is very similar, but on 
the Faroes the peculiarities are fixedly racial and (at least in my specimens) the size is small. The egg of 
designata is roundish oval, very slightly flattened at micropvlar end; micropyle conspicuous; colour yellow. 
rcdanteme- C. rectantemediana Wehrli (13 c). Very similar to designata , ciliation of U antenna somewhat shorter. 
diana. Head less brownish. Forewing with antemedian straight, subbasal also straight after its angle close to costa; 
median band little broader anteriorly than posteriorly; the reddish flush in the ground-colour, often observable 
in designata, wanting. S. Ussuri. In the absence of authentic from Japan, I refer here the rather variable 
Yezo y, of which at present 1 know only a few, which have the general tone and the straightish subbasal
