B. thamanaea limps. (2 d) belongs similarly with the preceding to the millophaea group. Forewings thamanaea. 
ochreous whitish, peppered with black especially in basal and discal areas, the brown inner transverse line 
edged basally with ochreous white, the elbowed line double; both upper stigmata large with black centres and 
pale edge finely outlined by black. Orbicular stigma round, reniform stigma 8-shaped, instead of a subter¬ 
minal line small blackish spots on the inner side. The whitish hindwings with brownish tinge and traces of a 
postmedian line and a discal spot. Persia, Shakuh. 
B. hampsoni sp. n. (2 e) is as large as miltophaea with still wider wings, quite milky white adumbrated hampsoni. 
to a grey-black in basal area and widely in disc, sparsely peppered with black scales in front and behind the 
shade. Transverse lines only indicated by colour contrast, the posterior line extends in a wide arch around 
the reniform stigma which has a somewhat dark grey-black centre and is edged with white. Subterminal 
line faintly dentate, indicated by somewhat denser blackish scaling, a larger spot at costa. Marginal area 
scarcely more densely peppered, small spots at margin. Hindwings thinly scaled somewhat darker in shade 
than ground colour of forewings with darker discal lunule and marginal nervures. North Alai (Ispayran), £ type 
in the Pungeler Collection; Hampson had the type before him and assumed it belonged to a new Genus, but 
I prefer to classify same here. 
B. plumbeola St.gr. (Vol. 3, p. 20, pi. 4 c). — ab. syriensis Sir cl. (= ab. 1 Hmps.) has the postmedian syriensis. 
area of forewings with the exception of costal and marginal areas rather more yellowish. Syria. 
B. albiceps sp. n. (2 c) is a somewhat more slim, narrow winged species. Head and upperside of palpi albiceps. 
white. Forewings whitish densely dusted with grey-black with the sole exception of the transverse lines which 
remain white. Stigmata in median area therefore barely prominent; inner transverse line wide, elbowed line of 
usual shape in a wide arch around the reniform stigma, concave outwards on the submedian, projecting in a 
dentation along nervure 1; subterminal also whitish, fringes intersected by a dark line. Hindwings pure white. 
Type in the Collection of 0. B.-Haas. According to a $ from Garni, Peter the Great Mountains, captured in June. 
B. protecta sp. n. ( Bung. i. 1.) (2 e). Under this name there is a specimen in the Pungeler Collection 'protecta. 
that is somewhat like albiceps, grey-black peppered with white and with white transverse lines which are rather 
differently shaped and more sharply outlined by black. It also has brownish grey hindwings. Lagodechi. 
B. eucta Hmps. (2 e). Head and thorax whitish with darker admixture. Forewings ochreous-whitish eucta. 
peppered with brown-black with indistinct blackish transverse lines, the inner one vertical, slightly undulate, the 
posterior finely dentate of usual form, the discal area between same blackish, the stigmata therein with indist¬ 
inct pale edges; orbicular stigma round, reniform stigma elliptical; the indistinct pale subterminal line with 
black-brown inward edge. Hindwings white with brownish margin and white fringes. Persia (Urmiah); W. 
Turkestan (Askhabad). 
B. glaucula Stgr. (= fraudatricula Leech nec Hbn.) (Vol. 3, p. 20, pi. 4 c) (2 e). We are giving here glaucula. 
a good illustration of this rare species in the Berlin Museum from the Pungeler Collection. 
B. labecula Led. (Vol. 3, p. 20, pi. 4 c) (2 a). We are giving a further illustration from a perfect specimen, labecula. 
B. granitalis Btlr. (2 e) is omitted. It resembles a large algae in the markings, basal area pale grey; granitalis. 
the outer margin more oblique than in algae, more resembling raptricula ; middle area black admixed with 
chestnut brown, narrow at costa and inner margin, very wide in cell by the large arch around the reniform stig¬ 
ma; this as well as costa and inner margin pale grey subterminally and as far as margin; centre of margin 
reddish brown; above the submedian fold a heavy black angulated streak between the postmedian and anal 
angle. Hindwings grey-brown. The species is closely related also to glaucula, but is specifically different; the 
latter is darker and has no pale grey basal area. E. Siberia, Ussuri; Japan and Central China. 
A. strigula Bkh. ( = receptricula Him.) (Vol. 3, p. 20, pi. 4 d). — ab. fasciata Spul. has no black on fasciata. 
forewings except for the inner edge of the subterminal line. — hartmanni Spul. is darker grey admixed with hartmanni. 
white in centre of wing, indistinctly marked. From Silesia. — ab. guglielminae Bagusa has a large white gugliel- 
basal spot on forewings. Other authors hold same to be more probably an algae form. I cannot express an 
opinion owing to insufficient material. Sicily. — ab. virescens Dannehl shows a liberal moss-green suffusion, virescens. 
Mid-Italy. 
B, ravula Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 20, pi. 4 d) occurs as far as Algeria, Tunis and Morocco. 
gnsescens 
ravula. 
grisescens. 
Oberth. is a unicoloured pale ashy grey form frequent in N. Africa. According to 6 specimens in my collection 
from Haifa — rectilinea Warr. should also be classified here as an extreme pale grey form of ravula — ex- rectilinea. 
ceeding grisescens ; very variable, discal area occasionally faintly adumbrated, in one specimen the inner trans¬ 
verse line expanded forming a blackish antemedian band. In Portugal only a unicoloured dark, almost black 
form occurs: — ab. unicolor Spul. — ab. ravulana Strd. (= ab. 3 Hmps.) resembles vanclalusiae but has a 
rusty red antemedian area on forewings. Syria. — subsp. tatsienluica Obth. is a large race, the black inner 
transverse line on forewings more rounded, with 2 black longitudinal submedian streaks, a short one before 
the inner transverse line and a longer one from the postmedian to margin; stigmata as in ravula, similarly 
hindwings; ground colour of forewings dark grey, rufous admixed with whitish and black. Thibet.
