M. acetosellae Schiff. (Vol. 3, p. 62, pi. 14 f). — comspersa Dhl. denotes specimens from the S. Tyrol 
with reddish forewings densely peppered with black-brown, thus appearing reddish grey-black. — ab. deleta 
Dhl. is applied to forms of any colour, where the row of spots in outer area is absent. grisea DM. is a 
rare grey form, peppered with black. Southern Alps. - pallida DM. are very pale whitish grey-rose speci¬ 
mens with pale rose hindwings, markings sometimes only indicated. As a race in the central italian moun¬ 
tains, as a rare form in S. Tyrol (Terlan, Lana). — vorbrodti Wehrli is an aberrative specimen, small, wings 
more rounded, outer transverse stripe being absent, the outer row of dots confluent forming a transverse 
line. On hindwings only subterminal band is present. Arlesheim in Switzerland. 
M. oxalina Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 62, pi. 14 e). rosea DM. are very pale, rosy grey specimens with irrorated 
hindwings. - rufescems Schaw. denotes a more reddish form, —- obscurata DM,, is a dusky slate-grey with 
still darker central area. — privata DM. are unicoloured specimens without the line and row of dots in 
outer area; these forms occur chiefly in the S. Tyrol. — unipumcta Kiefer is a transition to privata, with 
one dot retained. — nigriuscula Krul. is a still duskier form than obscurata. 
35. Genus: Hypoxestia Hmps. 
H. dilatata Btlr. (Vol. 3, p. 62, pi. 14 f.). 
H. fuscostigma Brem. (Vol. 3, p. 62, pi. 14 f). 
H. ohtaniensis Mats, resembles Cerastis sobrina; forewings reddish brown with delicate undulate trans¬ 
verse lines, the anterior and posterior lines being double and intertilled with paler colour, the posterior part 
punctiform. Orbicular stigma obsolescent, open on top and below, a brown quadrate patch between same 
and the indistinct reniform stigma; a blackish brown spot at lower angle of cell. Subterminal line pale, in¬ 
wardly of same a dark spot on costa. Marginal area paler, fringes reddish brown. Hindwings grey-brown, 
paler at base and inner margin. Wing expanse: 34 mm. Saghalin in August. 
H. sachalhiensis Mats, closely related to the preceding species, but it is more ochreous brown. A double 
basal line only visible on costa. A black dot at base of cell. Antemedian line double, distending to form 
a black patch in place of a claviform stigma. Orbicular stigma large and round. Reniform stigma dusky, 
black at lower extremity and with pale outline on both sides; an almost straight central line extends from 
same to inner margin. Posterior transverse line as in preceding species. The paler subterminal line with 2 
black dots inwardly on costa. Marginal area darker with black marginal lunules. At base of fringes a pale 
line. Hindwings dark grey, paler at base and with dark discal spot. Wing expanse: 34—39 mm. S. Sag¬ 
halin in August. — rikovskesisis Mats, differs from type in that the reniform stigma is no darker than ground 
colour and by the absence of the 2 black dots at upper extremity of subterminal line. N. Saghalin. 
H. nyiwonis Mats, is very close to sachalinensis , but has narrower, red-brown forewings with more 
oblique and single antemedian line, smaller orbicular stigma with dark centre, obsolescent paler reniform stigma. 
The double postmedian line is distinctly angulated on vein 4. The pale submarginal line is narrow, some¬ 
what excurved in vein 2. Inwardly of same there are no black sagittate marks on costa. Vertex and palpi 
red-brown. Wing expanse: 35 mm. N. Saghalin. 
36. Genus: Ufaenia Stph. 
N. typica L. (Vol. 3, p. 62, pi. 14 g). — claricolor Schaw. is a very pale, ochreous yellow form. Veins 
and surrounds to stigmata heavily marked with pale yellow. Only the triangular mark in basal area, the 
patches each side of the stigmata and in front of the apex, are darker. Albarracin. —- cofitammatoides Scha w. 
is a counterpart to same. It is much darker. Veins and transverse lines are visible, but not paler. Ground 
colour is brown with blackish markings. Stigmata finely outlined with pale yellow. Very similar to the suit- 
sequent contaminata. Described from Mostar. 
N. contaminata, Wkr. (Vol. 3, p. 62, pi. 14 g). 
37. Genus: Epilecta Him. 
E. linogdsea Schiff. (Vol. 3, p. 62, pi. 14 g). The illustration is too unicolourously grey. Freshly emerged 
specimens are a beautiful greenish white, marbled with violet-grey on forewings. 
E. accipiter Fldr. (Vol. 3, p. 63, pi. 14 h).
