tion with pale vinous forewings as ab vinosa. — rabiosa var. nov. (3 g g type) is a nice race from central Asia vinosa. 
usually with very distinct markings, white dentate line behind the sagittate marks and fairly pale costa. ral,wsa -

is the race from Asia Minor with almost pure white hindwings. Was formerly often mistaken with distin- 
guenda Led. v. distincta Corti. — obscurior Stgr. (3 h <J) ( = tritici v. obscurior Stgr., Vol. 3, p. 32) is the obscurior. 
blackish, sometimes almost completely black race from Ussuri. Markings clear, dark, hindwings also in <$ very 
heavily adumbrated, especially at margin. According to Filip Jef = oberthuri Leech (Vol. 3, pi. 7 c) which how¬ 
ever has different antennae. 
E. titscliacki Corti (3 i cotype). Pale rufous, markings deeper rufous, costa slightly paler, orbicular titschaclci. 
stigma oblique, irregular, often open towards costa, median nervure pale from base to reniform stigma, sagittate 
marks distinct, situate before a more or less distinct pale subterminal line. No discoidal spot either on upper 
or underside, faintly indicated in §. Tegulae with darker collar. Head and thorax of the colour of hindwings. 
Jerusalem, Valley of the Jordan, Askhabad. Early stages unknown. 
E» quassa nov. spec. (3 i $ type). Similar to titscliacki but with rounder wings, darker and more diffuse quassa. 
markings, subterminal line scarcely indicated. Discoidal spots present. Sarepta, Naryn. Early stages unknown. 
E. glabella Wgnr. (= glabella Corti i. 1.) (3 i type). Forewings almost pale luteous in <§, darker glabella. 
in Costa pale, sandy coloured, darker in $, claviform stigma buff with black-brown surround, sagittate 
marks faint but distinct, reniform and orbicular stigmata with sandy-yellow centres, darker surrounds, hind¬ 
wings pure white in <$ scarcely darker in $. Underside similarly white, also on forewings. Armenia, Naryn. 
Early stages unknown. 
E. wagiieri Corti (3 i $ type). This nice species resembles certain forms of subdistinguenda, but can wagneri. 
be differentiated at once by the form of the antennae of <$. Also this species varies considerably. The oblique 
stripe described under aquilina is present, the colour is generally a nice dark, black-brown on pale ground. 
Costa white intermixed with brown. Reniform and orbicular stigmata white with brownish centres and black 
surrounds. White spots on costa, sagittate marks distinctly present. Hindwings white in <$, veins and margin 
brownish, a discoidal spot is present. Thorax dark black-brown sprinkled with whitish. Underside pale, dis¬ 
coidal spots distinct. Tarsi with white ringlets. Albarracin, Spain. August. — Ova yellowish white without ridges, 
hibernate with embryo developed, larvae very similar to those of subdistinguenda Corti, typical subterraneous 
larvae pupating in a fragile cocoon. Pupa pale buff with two diverging cremaster spines. 
E. schwingenschussi Corti (3 i $ type). Is best placed here and is probably closely related to aquilina schwingen- 
Ilb. although the pectinations of the antennae are shorter and also shorter than those of wagneri. Ground schussi 
colour is a pale buff, claviform stigma elongate, black-brown. Median nervure pale brown from base to reni¬ 
form stigma. Costa pale brown. Sagittate marks more or less present. Hindwing of 3 grey-white, darker at 
margin. Thorax of same colour as hindwings with black scales. Underside of both wings grey-white and glossy. 
Hindwings with a dark, large, triangular longitudinal shade in the middle. Castile, Teruel, Spain. — Ova 
yellow grey without ridges, laid in batches. Larvae typical subterraneous larvae, very similar to temera-kubneri. 
Pupa glossy, fuscous without cocoon with 2 strong spines and 2 smaller ones on dorsum. 
E. actinea Kozh. (= distaxis Brs., obeliscata Corti i. 1.) (3 k 3 cotype). Is doubtless closely related to actinea. 
aquilina Schiff. Costal margin pale, colour yellowish brown, orbicular and reniform stigmata distinct with 
black surrounds and pale grey-brown centres. Claviform stigma dark, distinct. Sagittate marks present as 
also is the pale oblique streak from claviform stigma obliquely to the outer transverse line. Transverse lines 
sometimes distinct, sometimes almost obsolete. Hindwings white with grey admixture at margin and dark 
subterminal line. Underside of hindwings almost white with distinct discoidal spot. Thorax of same colour as 
hindwings. Abdomen whitish. June-July, Turkestan, Naryn, Issyk-kul, Urals, Asia Minor. Possibly belongs to 
subgenus Mesoeuxoa. Early stages unknown. 
E. ierresftis sp. n. ( — terrena Corti i. 1.) (3 k 3 type)- A species classified in many collections as terrestris. 
sabuletorum Bsd. Unicoloured earthy brown. Markings as a rule only faintly discernible. Sagittate marks 
at the best only indicated. Claviform stigma faint, usually almost extinct, orbicular and reniform stig¬ 
mata faintly marked, costa barely paler. Hindwings of 3 as well as $ impure pale brown, considerably adum¬ 
brated from margin inwards. Abdomen of same colour as hindwings. Early stages unknown. S. Russia, Urals, 
Sarepta, Djarkent. July. 
E. marcens Chr. (Vol. 3, p. 29 under decora). According to Hampson and Warren synonymous with marcens. 
decora Schiff. I had a 3 before me ex the Pungeler Collection from Kasikoparan, Armenia. This is where 
Christoph had obtained his original specimens, which had been captured by Korb and classified as marcens 
when sent to Pungeler. The specimen however is identical with the preceding terrestris. According to the 
illustration of Kozhantschikov, Ann. Ms. Zook Acad. Sc. URSS. 1929, PI. XXVI, fig. 41, marcens can 
well be related to decora. The transverse bands and the pale hindwings indicate this. Ko zhantschiko.v treats 
marcens as a separate species.
