ADDENDA AD ULIOCNEMIS THALERA. By L. B. Prout. 
castalaria. U. castalaria Oberth. (= cassidaria auct., nec Guen.) (1 c). Best known from the Khasis, but straggling 
into Malaya, Tonkin and with one record for W. China: Huang-mu-Chang, 7000 feet (Leech). 
p. 11, before Rh. incomptaria: 
monosticta. Rh. monosticta Wehrli (1 d). This species, though not really Palaearctic, got figured in the present 
volume and should be mentioned here. “$ unknown, $ closely similar to the $ forms of megaspilaria Guen. 
but without apical spot in the hindwing" (etc.; see Vol. 12, p. 90). Hindtibial spurs short, the proximal pair 
in one specimen wanting. Lienping, S. E. China. 
p. 11, under Comibaena: 
pustulaia. C. pustulata Hufn. (Vol. 4, pi. 2 b). Although so very generally an oak-feeder only, the larva of this 
species is definitely recorded as found feeding on beech (Waters, Ent. Mo. Mag., Vol. 60, p. 64). The occasional 
flesh-pink or reddish specimens of the imago which are taken, and which I had supposed to be influenced by 
moisture, are now believed to be a natural aberration, perhaps inheritable; attempts should be made to breed 
stigmatisata. from it. — ab. stigmatisata Stauder, a small $ from Triest, is very bright green, with the transverse lines of 
the forewing obsolescent, the spot at the tornus reaching to the middle of the wing, both the cell-dots distinctly 
expressed, as in neriaria. 
p. 15, before Microloxia: 
25. Genus: Xeromla Stgr. 
(See Vol. 16, p. 29.) 
pidverei- N. pulvereisparsa Hmps. (= iodisata Stgr.) (Vol. 4, pi. 3 a). I have been inclined to think (as was indi- 
sparsa. cated both in Vol. 4. p. 26, and in Vol. 16) that there were two species, or at least two races, mixed here, but 
as Amsel, who has seen much more Palestinian material, pronounces it “very variable in size and expression 
of markings” I accept the current synonymy for the present. 
virideciliata. p. 15, to M. herbaria virideciliata Bubacek. Bytinski-Salz says that he has seen this form also not 
only from Sardinia but from such remote localities as Latvia, etc. and does not think it can be anything more 
than an aberration. For myself, I have only seen one or two from Corsica, but T am inclined to accept his 
judgment. 
crassilineata. p. 16, to M. saturata. — crassilineata Zerny differs from the name-type, which Zerny cannot distinguish 
from the Albarracin form, in its more distinct white line, especially on the forewing, in the deeper green of the 
$ and the more distinctly white distal half of the fringes; on an average larger. According to his figure, the $ 
has the termen and line of the forewing more curved, the line extended to the costal margin. Great Atlas. The 
larva probably feeds on Bupleurum spinosum. 
alinea. p. 17, to E. smaragdaria. — ab. alinea Burr. (Vol. 4, p. 28). The cpieried citation of immaculata Thnby. 
as an equivalent of this name must be deleted (see Hemistola below). If an aberration exists which lacks both 
cell-spot and lines it will require a new name. 
chlorophyl- p. 18, to E. chlorophyllaria Hed. A $ from S. Kansu (N. declivity of Min-shan, ca. 2750 m) is referred 
laria. q ere py Hjakonov, discoloured or aberrant, so that the hindwing looks almost white; lines of forewing perhaps 
somewhat nearer together. Possibly it may prove to belong to atyche (3c). 
p. 18, after E. atyche : 
kansuensis. E. kansuetisis Djakonov. Length of a forewing ca. 16 mm. Superficially recalls chlorophyllaria; palpus 
appreciably shorter and more slender, 2nd joint rather long-haired, terminal joint slender, elongate; $ antenna 
with longer apical part non-pectinate. Forewing light grass-green, with a tinge of blue; antemedian very oblique; 
no cell-spot; postmedian much broader than in chlorophyllaria, very oblique, quite straight (not dentate). Hind¬ 
wing white, with faint tinge of green and with a light olive-green line near the termen, parallel therewith at 
first, from 1st radial curving strongly so as to end rather far from anal angle. S. Kansu, ca. 3500 m, 1 August 
1930, 2 <J<J. 
autumnaiis. p. 18, to E. plusiaria. — f. autumnalis SchwingenscBuss. This name has been given comprehensively to 
the small 2nd-brood form from Spain, whereas powellaria Oberth. was founded particularly on the modifications 
of the markings and could presumably occur in both broods. 
fimbrialis. p. 18, to Th. fimbrialis. A record from Finland has been published (in Finnish) in Notul. Ent-., Vol. 14 
ochracea. p. 117. — ab. (?) ochracea Kolossow. “Uniform ochre-yellow, only with traces of green at the base of the wings.” 
A few from Ekat-erinenburg. I suspect discoloration through the action of moisture.
