p. L23. to C. munitata Him. Dr. V. G. M. Schitlz (Festschr. 60. Geburtst. Embrik Strand, Vol. 3, mmiioto. 
p. 560) says that the larva is much more variable than previous accounts have indicated; he figures larvae 
in situ on a stem of Galium mollugo, on which he reared, them and was able indoors to obtain a complete second 
generation, which commenced to emerge within 6 weeks from the date of oviposition. — ab. nigroalbata Heydem. nit/ no /ha la. 
( - fuscifascia Prout). Although Dr. Heydemann courteously disclaimed any intention of forestalling my name, 
his article, containing the name nigroalbata . appeared first and must be accepted. 
C. tristis Djakonov. Certainly related to munitata. with which the genitalia most nearly agree, although tristvs. 
distinctly different; rather difficult to describe, the unique type being very badly worn. Palpus pointed,reaching 
beyond the head, appressed scaled. Pectinations moderately long. “Expanse 22 mm” (length of a forewing 
presumably almost 12). Somewhat like a small, pale munitata but somewhat narrower winged;of the markings 
only the following can be made out: ground-colour light yellowish (or brownish) grey, in the basal area some¬ 
what darker; no distinct basal patch recognizable; median band darker, nearly straight, little narrower behind 
than at costa, bounded on each side by a white line; antemedian weakly curved; postmedian almost straight, 
only at 1st and 3rd radials with slight roundish projections; cell-dot weak; 2 faint dark lines beyond the post- 
median, parallel with it; distal area again somewhat darker, subterminal very indistinct, !mt apparently forming 
3 larger whitish spots in its posterior half. Hindwing white, at the base and near the inner margin somewhat 
grey-scaled. Founded chiefly on the distinctive build of the G genitalia, of which good figures are given: uncus 
longer than in munitata , valve distinctly bipartite ventral part weak, dorsal part forming a strongly chitinized. 
bent process with dentate ventral edge and a small proximal prong, anellus dorsally with several spines, ventrally 
forming an irregular calcar. S. Kansu: Kuan-ki-hsiao-shan, Min-shan Range, at 3600 m, 1 G-

p. 124, to C. oxybiata Mill. (12 b). The discovery of this form on Sardinia (Tenrpio and Teulada. in oxybiata. 
the latter locality in company with disjunctaria scoriaria) suggests that it may, after all, prove a separate species 
rather than a form of disjunctaria. 
p. 124, to C. incursata Hbn. Dr. Heydemann 's researches on this group, which extended over a long incursata. 
period, have now been made public; and although, when he learned last year that my manuscript was already 
in the press, he kindly sent me some notes which permitted a few hurried corrections in my proofs, it is now 
possible to supplement and in part supersede them. He has demonstrated that there are 4 good species in the 
incursata complex and that these form, with tianschanica. interpositaria and infernaria, a well defined subgroup, 
with which montanata , jluctuata and the ferrugata group have tolerably close association. He describes and figures 
the genitalia and emphasizes the relationship — already known — between XantJwrhoe and Ortholitha. incursata 
is the second largest of the four; markings, especially the boundaries of the median area, sharp, the two larger 
postmedian projections as a rule distinctly trilobed, the anterior ones more dentate; subterminal generally ind¬ 
istinct; both the cell-dots strong, above and beneath. Distributed in the Alps and in the mountains of Central 
Germany; according to Djakonov also in E. Siberia. Wanting in the North.

mann is entirely convinced that monticolaria was figured from N. European specimens with false locality and 
that the name has no independent standing; he has worked out his case very fully. He gives the distribution 
as boreal and in the E. Baltic countries and Siberia. Less sharply marked than incursata.. the edges of the 
median area less blackish, the outward projections of the postmedian weakened, the cell-dots weaker often 
very small, the dividing-line of the whitish bands very indistinct, the proximal boundary-line of the distal area 
ill-developed, the subterminal line generally broader and looking less strongly dentate. 
C. sajanaria Prout. Heydemann treats derzhavini Djakonov as a synonym. Very closely resembles sajanaria. 
annotinata; colour and markings about the same or with the median area standing out rather more conspicuously, 
its projections perhaps weaker still, sometimes rounded, sometimes almost regularly dentate; distal area of 
forewing with the subterminal somewhat more strongly toothed than in annotinata. that of the hindwing some¬ 
what more blurred. N. Siberia, the Sajan Mountains and Kamtshatka; also, unless a mistake in labelling lias 
occurred. “N. Lapland". 
C. majorata Heydem. Recognizable in the G by its large size (length of a forewing ca. 17 mm), silky majorata . 
wings, with light dove-grey irroration on a dirty whitish ground, in which a very delicate yellowish tone produces 
a very slight effect of green-grey; median area rather narrow, proximally as well as distally slightly lunulate. 
the distal projections weak, the anterior one bilobed; duplicating lines accompany the ante- and postmedian 
in the median area, the rest of which remains somewhat paler (as in some of the caesiata- group, etc.); subterminal 
composed of strong, dirty whitish lunules on a broad grey area; cell-dot small. Hindwing with the line which
