EUXOA. By Dr. A. Corti. 
of the antennae. Ground colour of forewings vinous brown, stigmata larger than in canariensis. Thorax vinous 
grey. Fore wings very elongated, stigmata with pale vinous grey centres. Orbicular stigma very elongate. 
A black streak extends from base, claviform stigma indistinct, subterminal line indistinct. Marginal line fine, 
black. Hindwings brown-grey, paler in £. Teneriffe. Early stages unknown. 
caiervaria. E. catervaria Corti (4 a cotype). I introduce this species here, as it may be the original form from 
which the following cos Won. evolved although it has antennae with heavier pectinations and denser cilia than 
cos. Similar to this sjiecies, forewings wider, hindwdngs larger and rounder, fringes of forewings paler, limbal 
line much clearer, outstanding and yellowish. As a rule a distinct collar. $ like the <$, hindwings somewhat 
darker. Kuku-Noor, Alexander Mountains, Ivorla, Tien-shan. Early stages unknown.

Subject to fairly heavy variation and a number of aberrations have been named. The illustration in the 
main Volume is too pale, it figures the v. millieri Stgr. I am therefore illustrating cos again, cos is a southern 
species, it occurs besides in the lands mentioned in the main Volume also in Bosnia, Transylvania, Herze- 
millieri. gowina, the hungarian Carpathians, Tunis (Warren). — millieri Stgr. is in my opinion identical with v. crimaea 
A. B.-H. and v. mesopotamica 0. B.-H. i. 1. millieri is much paler than cos, the black spots of transverse band 
on costa stand out more clearly, the head is more whitish and hindwings similarly much paler (greyer) than 
cycladum. in cos. Crimea, S. Russia, Syria, Italy (Abruzzi, Sicily), S. France. — The form cycladum Stgr. (4 a <$) originates 
from Greece (Naxos) but specimens from Italy (Rebel), the Adriatic Islands (Galvagni), Algeria and Spain 
aphc. can also be classified here. Smaller, fore wings reddish grey. — In regard to the form aphe Mab., which pro¬ 
bably belongs to cos, nothing fresh can yet be said. The type is completely defective. New denominations 
unamunoi. of aberrations are as follows: — f. imamunol Fdz. very pale and quite unicoloured, a mere colour aberration 
erubescens. of cycladum. —- ab. erubescetis is the name given by Dannehl to specimens of millieri with pale red tone 
purificaia. and faint markings from Italy and — ab. purificata denotes specimens flying concurrently, which are almost 
completely without markings, only a minute trace of the surrounds of the stigmata being still discernible. 
Of the early stages there is no description of the ova and pupa. The larva resembles that of decora Schiff. 
pundifem. E„ pursctifera nom. nov. Corti (= squalida Ev. nec Gn.) (Vol. 3, p. 32, pi. 7 a). The illustration is good. 
punctifera is in my opinion a genuine species that varies little and does not belong to sabuletorum Bsd. Fore- 
wings grey-brown almost unicoloured with dusky spot markings towards outer margin. Orbicular and reni- 
form stigmata scarcely visible with faint white edges. A dark spot or streak on the median nervure below r 
the reniform stigma is characteristic. A dark costal spot often occurs above the reniform stigma. Hindwings 
rarely almost white, usually with heavy adumbration, especially along the veins. Underside of wings with 
distinct discoidal spots. S. Urals, Sarepta. Early stages unknown. 
sabule- E. sabuletorum Bsd. (Vol. 3, p. 32, pi. 7 a). The illustration is not good, it would be better as figuring 
torum. a form of aquilina. I am therefore having the <$ type of Boisduval illustrated on pi. 4 b. Fore wings uni¬ 
coloured brownish grey, orbicular and reniform stigmata distinctly prominent by their blackish edges, clavi¬ 
form stigma of same colour as wings, faintly edged by darker line. A few dark spots on costa of forewings. 
A line of black crescent marks in front of margin of fore and hindwings. Hindwings pure white with faint 
discoidal spot. Underside of forewings brownish with a faint arched line and very distinct discoidal spot, 
hindwings impure white with small dark discoidal spot. Sarepta, also from the Altai according to Kozhan- 
tschikov, Central Asia, Turkestan, Ili, Issyk-kul. Early stages unknown. 
joeda. E„ foeda Led. (Vol. 3, p. 32) (= nigrina Stgr.). According to Kozhantschikov’s, Filipjef’s and my 
own opinions, is a separate species from sabuletorum Bsd. and is a genuine species. Illustration 4 b q . Similar 
to sabuletorum Bsd. forewings almost unicoloured grey-brown, inner and outer transverse lines distinct, dark, 
especially the double inner line. Orbicular and reniform stigmata only faintly prominent. Hindwings white or 
impure white. Discoidal spot absent or only faintly indicated in the specimens in my collection. Underside of 
forewings paler than in sabuletorum, otherwise the same. Underside of hindwings white with brownish dusting, 
Discoidal spot faintly visible. Sarepta, also Altai, Caucasus, Crimea, according to Ivozhantschikov. Early 
stages unknown. 
robiginosa. E, rofoiglsiosa Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 29, pi. 6 c). Forewings almost unicoloured pale to dark red-brown with 
obsolete markings, stigmata indistinct with dark edges, transverse lines rarely occur and when they do only 
faintly. A blackish limbal (lunule) line before the pale fringes. Hindwings of $ almost pure white, much dark¬ 
er in Thorax as forewings, abdomen grey-white. Underside of forewings glossy light grey-brown with 
extinct dark median spot and darker transverse line. Underside of hindwings impure white in generally 
darker outwardly. Palestine, October-November. The illustration in the main Volume illustrates a heavily 
marked specimen. Early stages unknown. 
heringi. E„ heringi Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 29) (4 b <$). Similar to the former species but paler, not reddish but grey- 
brown. Basal and outer transverse lines and also reniform stigma generally dark, sometimes however quite
