CIDARIA. By L. B. Prout. 
divisa, would have the priority. An excellent photograph was taken of the type, a $ from Oberweiden. — ab. divisa 
reducta. Osthelder has the median band divided into two by a complete, though slender, white central band. — ab. reducta 
Osthelder corresponds to those of hastata and subhastata which bear the same name, or to tristata ab. kerteszi 
indisUncta. Aigner. — ab. indistincta Osthelder. The white bands and subterminal line remain, but all the dark markings 
are washed-out, unicolorous brownish. This and the two preceding are described from South Bavaria. 
commixta. C. cornmixta Matsumura is either (as its author makes it) an unusually wdiite member of the tristata 
group or (as is suggested by the large amount of white in the median area of both wings and the strongly deve¬ 
loped hastata- marks of the subterminal) a Eulype. Only a <$, expanding “30 mm”, is known; this w T as collected 
at Furumaki, S. Saghalien, on 13 July 1924. Body black, with some white scales. “Wings snowy white, with 
black irrorated markings.” The median band of the forewing, according to the figure, projects very little in 
the middle, is fairly broad near the hindmargin and almost completely interrupted between the median and 
(2nd) submedian veins. 
galiata. C. galiata Schiff. (see Vol. 4, pi. 10 b). The strong tendency of this species to adapt itself to the soil 
on which it rests is probably further illustrated in some $$ from the Great Atlas, which are said to have the 
brunneata. pale parts of the forewdng strongly tinged with reddish. — ab. brunneata Kitt (= brunnescens F. Wagn.) has 
strong reddish-brown scaling in the distal, but especially in the basal, area of the forewing. Founded on a $ 
from Albarracin. Wagner inclines to think it a good race, but, judging from the Albarracin material which 
1 have seen, I cannot regard it as more than a rather frequent aberration. Moreover, it occurs in several other 
ochreata. localities with typical galiata (compare also eophanata). — ab. ochreata F. Wagn., also from Albarracin, is, as 
its author subsequently admitted, merely an exceptionally extreme development of brunneata, with the basal 
emina. and distal areas of the forewing reddish ochre-brown, almost orange. — emina Schawerda (see Vol. 4, p. 257), 
described from Herzegovina, is said to be a race in the Balkans, characterized by the purity of the white ground¬ 
colour and the blue-black colour of the median band, the brown tinge absent from both. Probably nearer to 
some of our S. English forms (from the chalk and limestone) than to the extreme Huddersfield aberration. 
dissoluta. Forms from Andalusia and the Riff have also been referred here (Reisser). — ab. dissoluta ab. nov. is a modi¬ 
fication of these chalk ‘‘‘‘emina”, with the median band predominantly light blue-grey, only blackened at its 
eophanata. extreme edges. Several specimens from Eastbourne in the Tring Museum. — eophanata Krulik. (misprinted 
eophanata in the German edition of Vol. 4, p. 257) has the basal and distal areas of the forewing suffused with 
red-brown, the hindwing also generally with a slight reddish tinge. E. Russia, in both generations and not 
rare - Krulikovsky had seen none like it from Germany. 
tbnozzaria. C. timozzaria Const. (Vol. 4, p. 10 a) is locally common on Corsica, the typical form showing, when 
fresh, more or less brown in the wdiite areas which border the blue-grey median band of the forewdng. The larva 
has been found on the scrubby alder of the high mountains (Alnus suaveolens), which Schawerda suspects 
gabriella. may be the food-plant also of casearia. — ab. gabriella Schawerda has both wings strikingly white, the median 
band broader than usual, filled from costa to hindmargin with pure white, so that only its borders are narrowly 
stenotaenia. blue-grey. — ab. stenotaenia Schawerda is also whiter than the type, but its special character is the extreme 
narrowdng of the median area, which is occupied by a slender dark band crossing the cell-spot. Only the type 
known, a $ in poor condition. 
parvularia. C. parvularia Leech (Vol. 4, pi. 7 h). Further localities are Sunpanting (Stotzner collections) and Ta- 
tsien-lu; the examples which I have seen quite agree with Leech's type. 
latevittata. C. latevittata Trti. The position which I assigned (Vol. 4, p. 257) to this rare Sardinian Cidaria Avas 
perhaps inaccurate; I observe that Dr. Bytinski-Salz, in recording further specimens (Tempio and Aritzo, 
April—May), transfers it to the section Euphyia, though without comment. 
rivata. C. rivata Hbn. (Vol. 4, pi. 10 a). Scholten (Ent. Ber., Vol. 7, p. 81—86) has published an article on 
maculata. this species and alternata, giving results of breeding, with careful comparisons of the early stages. — ab. maculata 
Rbl., accidentally omitted from Vol. 4, has the median band of the forewdng greally reduced, broken into a 
small costal spot, a wedge-shaped central mark and a somewhat less small hindmarginal. Type from Croatia. 
It was figured, but not named, by Aigner-Abafi (Ann. Mus. Hung., Vol. 4, pi. 14, f. 9) and in an almost equally 
inexp:ctata. extreme example by Barrett. — ab. inexpectata Krulik. (treated as a separate species) is somewhat more 
extreme, lacking the midcostal spot, so that the central band is reduced to the two spots shown in our figure 
of alternata ab. degenerata, but with similar reduction on the hindwing; the “cinereous" distal area much widened. 
Founded on a $ from Urzhum. Typical rivata (2 1 $) were also collected there. 
supergressa. C. supergressa Butlr. (15 k). The description in Vol. 4 (p. 257) was based on the name-typical Japanese 
form. I was, at the time, acquainted wdth very little, if any, E, Siberian material and depended on Staitdinger's 
article in my allusion to “Amurland specimens”; but even he noticed that the turn races were not identical
