p. 35, to S. immorata. — riloetisis Zullich. On an average decidedly larger and more robust than the riloensis. 
largest of Central Europe, the markings sharper (deep olive-green with a brown tinge, on a clean white ground¬ 
colour) the underside likewise much more sharply and contrastingly marked. Said to be a well-defined local 
race in the Rilo Mountains, Bulgaria, at about 1600 m. 
p. 35, to S. rubiginata Hufn. At Swanage, August 1935, on two successive nights, Mr. A. G. B. Russell rubiginata. 
took single specimens at light, large, strongly rosy and sharply marked, which it is suggested may be British- 
bred offspring of an accidentally imported French $; in any case very dissimilar to our ordinary small Breck- 
sand form. None exactly like it are in the long series in the British Museum, nor in my collection. 
p. 36, after S. rubiginata: 
S. (?) dresnayi D. Luc., described as “Acidalia” , is said to be near A. rubiginata ,but no further indication dresnayi. 
of structure is given, nor is the sex indicated. ‘'12 mm." Rosy grey. Forewing with 4 distinct black-grey lines; 
extrabasal and median oblique, subterminal composed of 3 lines parallel to the border, the first slightly dentate. 
Hindwing with the extrabasal [evidently the median] (proximal to the distinct cell-dot) and the 3 subterminals, 
the first and second of then dentate. The lines beneath grey, on the hindwing weakened. One very fine specimen 
from Rabat, 30 November. , 
p. 36, after S. halimodendrata : 
S. manes Djakonov. A very pale and weakly marked species, in size and most characters agreeing with manes, 
manifesta Prout (Vol. 4, pi. 5 g). Hindtarsus about % as long as tibia. Cell-dots small; the characteristic median 
shade of manifesta wanting; of the (very weak) lines the wavy postmedian and the proximal subterminal are 
the most distinct; the terminal line (interrupted at the veins) shows better in the $ than in the <$. The right- 
hand ceras of the 8th sternite is much longer than the mappa, the left-hand one shorter than the mappa; in 
manifesta both are considerably shortened, though likewise asymmetrical. 
p. 39, after S. marginepimctata : 
S. permutata gnophosaria Leech (Vol. 4, pi. 5 d). This, or a very similar subspecies, is recorded by gnophosaria 
Djakonov from S. Kansu, 1 on 1 July 1930, on the northern slopes of Min-shan, ca. 2750 m. Forewing more 
ochre-brown than in p. permutata, thus nearer to gnophosaria, but the hindwing not darkened, etc. 
p. 40, to vigilata turatii F. Wagn. By a very unfortunate misprint, “lava-form” in the English edition turatii. 
was spelled “larva-form" and caused a misunderstanding in the German edition: “So vermute ich, daB sie die 
gleiche Raupenform hat." My suspicion, confirmed by further material, was that turatii was an adaptation 
of vigilata to the dark lava-soil. 
p. 40, to S. incanata. — ibericata Peisser (17 c). On an average larger, much cleaner white, sharply iberirata. 
marked. Sierra de Gredos. 
p. 42, after S. nemoraria Hbn.: 
S. leuraria Prout (Vol. 4, pi. 3 m, as sedataria). Djakonov records a $ also of this Scopula from S. Kansu leuraria. 
— crest of the Min-shan range, 3100 to 3600 m. 
p. 43, to S. immutata ab. coarctata V. Schultz a synonym is ab. anastomosaria Preissecker ( nom. coll.), coarctata. 
recently published in the Verb, zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, Vol. 86—87, p. 419. 
S. sjostedti Djakonov. By the combination of characters this does not appear to be referable to any sjostedti. 
previously known species. Length of a forewing in the figured type 14 mm, sometimes decidedly smaller or 
a trifle larger. A with antenna stout, the cilia longer than the corresponding joints, hindtibia dilated but not 
abbreviated, tarsus rather long, somewhat over % tibia. Face black, vertex white, collar orange-yellow. Wings 
white, the black irroration very sparse, sometimes stronger along the costa (most of the examples unfortunately 
worn); lines weak and blurred, 4 on each wing, the median rather thick, not very sinuous, on the forewing distal 
to the cell-dot (when such is present), on the hindwing proximal; antemedian present on forewing only; post- 
median and proximal subterminal dentate, incurved between the radials; distal subterminal traceable on the 
hindwing, rarely on the forewing; terminal dots black, on the hindwing less distinct. Underside of forewing 
in the <$ nearly as far as the postmedian strongly suffused with smoke-brown, in the $ much more weakly so, 
postmedian very distinct, the 2 subterminals visible; underside of hindwing white, almost markingless; both 
wings here with a yellowish brown terminal line, cell-dot- better developed. Kansu: Min-shan, ca. 2750 to 
3100 m, several specimens. 
p. 44, to S. nigropunctata Hufn. According to Djakonov the name-typical form appears to meet f. nigropunc- 
subcandidata in S. Kansu (Pi-kow) and he also records the former from N. E. Szechuan (Yuen-kou) at ca. 200 m. iai>
