(see Petersen, Lep.-Faun. Estland. ed. 2. Vol. I. p. 235).' A specimen was taken in Hellenorm (Likkesoo) in 
1912, and in 1913 Dr. Ernest Petersen discovered other Esthonian localities for it and observed its habits. 
It appears, like Brephos parthenias , in March and April, contemporaneously with the disappearance of the 
snows and its period is short. It rests on the branches of Picea excelsa. its only known food-plant - “sylvest- 
ris" on p. 95 of the present volume was an unfortunate laps. cal.

p. 95. to 0. brumata L. It is now well established that there are at least two biological races, that of brumata. 
the higher altitudes having a shorter pupal period (see Rev. Appl. Ent.. Vol. 21 A, p. 174 and 23 A. p. 62 and 
717); thus control methods may fail through ignorance of the bionomics of the race concerned. A further con¬ 
tribution. by W. Speyer, to the study of the races has just appeared (Arb. Phys. Angew. Ent.. Vol. 5, p. 50 
to 76). A very full life-history was published by Thiem in Arb. Biol. Anstalt Berk. Vol. 11. p. 54- -88 (1922).

bands; ab. bifasciata Kolossow is a further synonym. 
p. 99. to T„ taochata Led. Mr. A. H. Stringer, in comparing the genitalia of the new species about taochata. 
to be described, noted the principal differences between taochata and sabaudiata; “Tegumen narrower: uncus 
thinner, longer and almost semicircular when viewed in profile: valve narrower, costal process shorter; labides 
quite differently shaped from those of either sabaudiata or mnestira, quite narrow throughout most of the 
length, at apex broadening out. spoon-shaped, juxta not so long.'’ 
T. mnestira sp. n. (17 a). Very like sabaudiata and taochata. so that without access to more of the mnestira. 
latter and of mnestira it is difficult to say what superficial distinctions will be the most serviceable. Hindwing 
perhaps slightly less broad, in both the known examples a trifle whiter than forewing, more distinctly marked 
than in any sabaudiata except eugramma. Fore wing with antemedian band less angled near the costa than in 
the allies, cell-dot slighter than in taochata. postmedian perhaps somewhat more dentate outward behind the 
3rd radial. The latter character also observable on the hindwing above and beneath. Kashmir: Garhi. 2700 
feet, 17 May 1912 (A. Avinoff). a beautiful $ in the British Museum; a somewhat less large and less sharply 
marked from Simla district, 8000 feet. May 1865 (Moore coll.). Clearly in the sabaudiata-taochata group. 
Mr. Stringer finds the following genitalic distinctions from sabaudiata to be applicable to both specimens: 
The lateral parts of the tegumen taper towards the base of the uncus, giving a much narrower effect; uncus 
shorter, more rounded, the base which fits into a hollow in the tegumen much smaller and shallower; valve 
with a shorter chitinized part of the costal arm. the process curved away from, not continuing straight and 
parallel with, the dorsal margin of the valve; sacculus process considerably reduced and not conspicuous; the 
labides (?), which are fused into a single lobe, uniform in thickness throughout and without the conspicuous 
bunch of hair at the extreme apex (see Le Cere's figures in Bull. Mus. Ffist. Nat. 1918. No. 6. pi. 9). 
to p. 99, after T. sericata: 
T. albirama sp. n. (17 a). In general tone and in particular the pale markings (here even whiter, less albirama. 
dark-irrorated) very suggestive of oenozona Prout (1923), which will be figured in Vol. 12: indentation of post¬ 
median of forewing at 5th subcostal similarly acute. Wings slightly broader; forewing without the heavy 
dark markings at the commencement of the bands, the incomplete whitish subbasal stripe more angular, the 
darkish antemedian band (double line) more regular, the cell-dot reduced, the postmedian line better defined, 
the white outside it broad, notably the longitudinal streak which connects it with the subterminal; hindwing 
with the subterminal less crenulate than in oenozona. Underside less weakly marked than in oenozona. Ta- 
tsien-lu. type $, Tien-tsuen. Yuin-kin. paratvpe both in the British Museum, ex OberthTr.
