quite possible that albida refers to this and not to pallida. —ab. grisescens Reutti (et Ilannemann). Described grisescens. 
from Baden and later from Berlin, in both cases as a casual aberration, this name cannot be transferred to 
the following race, as seems to have been suggested (though not adopted) by Dr. Heydemann in a recent contri¬ 
bution. It can occur in many places — I have even seen an example from the Taurus — but it becomes more 
prevalent in the “N. W. climatic region", though I know very few English or Irish. atropunctaria Walk. (= nigro- alropunc- 
lineata Schwingenschuss) (18 h). Heydemann was in any case right in deciding that the name nigrolineata 
(2 a, as nigrilineata) was applicable to the north-western race; I was misled by its being cited as “ab." in Bang- 
Haas and rather indefinitely erected. However, I find that indisputably the oldest name is Walker’s, founded 
on a dwarfed and faded <$ from E. Doubleday which was by mistake supposed to have come from “E. Florida" 
(!). It is obviousy English and, notwithstanding its poor condition, has the lines still strong, especially at the 
costa, cell-mark well developed, postmedian conspicuous beneath. We add a figure of the type in its present 
condition. The name holsatica F. Wagn. is probably superfluous, as Heydemann has indicated, unless it be 
retained for the grey specimens of the present race. Very large atropunctaria (sens, lat.) occur at Santa Fe, 
Catalonia, but they are variable on the upperside and I have not seen enough to justify a separate name. — ab. 
unilinearia LempJce. Subterminal line and, on the forewing, the antemedian wanting leaving only a dentate unilinearia. 
postmedian. Deurne, Holland. — ab. loc. viridimelaina Heydem. is a rare modification of the silky green viridi- viridime- 
squama Heydem. (= viridisquamosa Heydem.), melanistic in that white scales are wanting and a dense brown- 
grey suffusion invades the costa, the veins and the median area of the forewing and the entire hindwing. Rends-

(Vol. 4, p. 14) as having the 2nd subcostal stalked beyond the 5th. Misled by the absence of a vein (an exces¬ 
sively rare occurrence in the subfamily) and the thick scaling and somewhat folded wing-membrane towards 
the apex in the type, I imagined that I saw the 2nd subcostal distally to the 5th, whereas it is really lost. 
G. isometra Warr. (2 h, not 2 a, as cited in the English edition). Our figure is somewhat too bright and isometra. 
sharply marked and does not show the pale-pupilled (though small) ocellus of the hindwing. The type remains 
unicpie, as the Kashmir d mentioned in Vol. 4 (p. 14) is evidently a much damaged example of the species 
about to be described.

characters of the genotype; abdomen with rather strong anterior crests (perhaps abraded in the genotype and 
doubtless so in the Kashmir d); forewing with all veins present, the 2nd subcostal arising from the stalk of 
the 3rd—5th; 2nd radial of both wings nearer to the 1st than in isometra, though rather variable. Wings less 
narrow, colour darker and greyer, with denser irroration, the fore wing with some dark costal suffusion; cell- 
spots more elongate, not noticeably pale-centred; lines thicker, less macular, the postmeclian more proximally 
placed. Punjab: Kliyra Gully, (H. Roberts), the type dated 1—10 June 1881; also a <$ from the Ober- 
thur collection, labelled “Australie" (!), besides the specimen previously assumed to be isometra (Kashmir, 
May 1896); all are in the British Museum.

This exclusively Indo-Australian genus, which differs from Comibaena in its crested thorax and abdomen, 
better developed $ frenulum and, usually, 2-spurred hindtibia, contains the following species.
