p. 26, to Craspediopsis: 
C. (?) sinuosaria Leech (Vol. 4, pi. 5 d). I have found some valuable notes in the British Museum, left sinuosaria. 
there by Mr. A. H. Stringer, who was able to examine very fine material from the Oberthur collection. He 
states that according to the genitalia this species and the one about to be described will need separation from 
the true Craspediopsis , on account of the absence of mappa and cerata; as, however, most characters agree 
so well therewith, I do not yet feel prepared to erect a new genus for them. The localities from which sinuosaria 
is represented are Pu-tsu-fong, Ta-tsien-lu, Yaregong and Yargong Zambala. 
C. (?) necopina sp.n. (18 k). Generally somewhat smaller than sinuosaria, angulation of hindwing necopina. 
slightly less pronounced. Tone rather darker and more red-greyish (but our figure shows a very close approach 
to that of necopina). Forewing with cell-mark less triangular; antemedian line at hinder end less thickened and 
scarcely so oblique; postmedian more sinuous, showing in general a much sharper bend or angle just behind 
the 2nd median. Hinclwing with the postmedian more proximally placed than in sinuosaria: dots at base of 
fringe smaller. Tseku, a very long series. “Valve less rounded, more pointed at anal angle; uncus more curved 
and apicallv upturned” (Stringer, M. S.). 
• p. 28, to C. amata. — ab. atropurpurea Michel ( = witzi C. Schneid.) is uniformly deep-black, irrorated, alropur- 
except the costa of the forewing, with purple-red scales. A £ taken by Mr. Hugo Krombholz, Ober-Politz (?), purci 
Czechoslovakia. Schneider's type is a $ from Markgroningen, Wtirttemberg. — comae A. Schmidt. From a comae. 
brief note made at the time, confirmed by recent correspondence with Dr. Horn, I gather that a $ in the col¬ 
lection of the Deutsches Entomologisches Institut, which I determined many years ago as amata ab., belongs 
essentially to this form. It is labelled “Murcia”. 
p. 30, to C. orbicularia Hhn. (Vol. 4, pi. 4 n). Horhammer has recently added S. Bavaria to the recorded orbicularia. 
range. — hybr. orbialbiocellaria Hain. S. Hain has obtained pairings of orbicularia $ with albiocellaria $ and orbialbio- 
vice versa, but only some of the eggs from the former proved fertile. The larvae chose the foodplant of the 
parent and 6 moths were successfully reared, all Pale yellowish, the very fine black irroration giving it a 
tinge of moss-green; postmedian resolved into strong vein-dots; an indefinite median shade (not band, as in 
orbicularia) is pale reddish ochre-brown and widens triangularly on the forewing towards its hindmargin; 
cloudy subterminal spots of the same colour are strongest towards the hind angle and a similar shade, in half 
the specimens, surrounds the cell-rings; the latter are blackish with white centres and are somewhat larger 
than in orbicularia,. 
p. 31, to C. puppillaria. — ab. agrapharia Homberg. Fore- and hindwing uniformly coloured, sandy agrapharia 
ochreous, less washed with reddish than in puppillaria. Lines and ocelli entirely wanting, excepting a hardly 
perceptible median shade. La Trayas, Var, 1 §. Several other specimens approach it, though less extreme. 
asiae-minoris Amsel. This name is provisionally proposed as racial on the strength of 1 <§ from Waldheim asiae- 
near Haifa and 1 from Angora, both of which differ from badiaria chiefly in their peculiar pale, rosy to flesh- minori 
coloured ground-colour; nearly without markings, but characterized by an oblique red costal spot at 4 / 5 , above 
and beneath. Presumably a mere aberration. 
C. porata ab. visperaria A. Fuchs (Vol. 4, pi. 4 o). Although this is chiefly a summer form it can occur visperaria. 
also in the spring brood, as is the case with some other normally second-brood forms in this genus. 
p. 31, to C. quercimontaria Bastelb. To the given distribution are to be added Mecklenburg, Denmark, quercimon- 
Polancl, S. Bavaria and Macedonia. — ab. nigrosparsaria Heydem. (nom. coll.). Extraordinarily coarsely and . iari 
densely irrorated with black, somewhat recalling porata and ruficiliaria. North Holland. — ab. privataria 
Heydem. (nom. coll.), a <j>, quite corresponds to ruficiliaria ab. privataria (Vol. 4, pi. 5 c, as privata). privataria. 
p. 32, to C. punctaria. — ab. nigra Michel is entirely blackened above and beneath, without any mark- nigra. 
ings. A $ from Algersdorf, near Bensen, Czechoslovakia. The photograph of the type shows the hindwing 
unusually sharply angled; is the determination absolutely assured? 
p. 33, before P. vulgaris: 
P. ocellata Friv. (Vol. 4, pi. 5 a). The specimens from Palestine, according to the Pungeler collection, occllala. 
are more strongly marked than those from Asia Minor, but probably Amsel is right in considering it unneces¬ 
sary to give them a separate name. 
P. maxima Th.-Mieg (Vol. 4, p. 50). In response to my inquiries, Mr. W. Schaus has very obligingly maxima. 
examined the unique type, now in the United States National Museum. He confirms the accuracy of the original 
description in the important matters of the sex ($), pectinate antenna and black vertex. It is closely allied to 
plenorbis Prout , from Sumatra, which will shortly be described and figured in Vol. 12, the silvery discal spot
