elongate claviform stigma; only the finely black outer edge of the very elongated orbicular stigma is visible, 
the upper half of the reniform stigma is not discernible, just the lower half can be discerned on veins 3 and 
4 in 2 long lobes which have darker grey edges; between the finely black veins elongated grey sagittate marks 
proceed from the margin. Hindwings whitish. 
sitiens. Th. sitiens Pglr. (14 k) is a smaller species that looks almost exactly like Odont. margiana but the an¬ 
tennae have longer pectinations and anatomically it belonges to Thargelia on account of the stunted proboscis 
and the absence of the spurs on the fore tibiae. Forewings ashy grey with whitish and partially somewhat 
brownish admixture. There are no transverse lines and only the whitish reniform stigma with its dark surround 
is distinct, whilst the claviform stigma is faintly indicated. In the marginal area there are dark sagittate marks 
in the interstices. Fringes grey, faintly checked. Hindwings whitish, sparsely dusted with grey and somewhat 
darkened at margin. Syr-Daria, captured in September. 
margiana. 
icterias. 
13. Genus : Odontelia Hmps. 
0. margiana Pglr. (Vol. 3, p. 80). We are giving an illustration of a specimen in the Pungeler collec¬ 
tion (14 k). 
14. Genus: Hypobarathra Hmps. 
H. icterias Ev. (Vol. 3, p. 81. pi. 20 b). The old illustration was very unsatisfactory and we are replacing 
same by a better illustration (14 k) of a specimen from Sutshansk (Ussuri). 
15. Genus: Conisaiiia Hmps. 
pomerana. C. leineri Frr. (Vol. 3, p. 81, pi. 21 a). — pomerana Schulz also occurs as far as the coast of Samland 
in E. Prussia. The illustration was poor, we are giving a good illustration of a nice form (14 k) and also of the 
pain. 2 other forms bovina and furcata (14 1). — subsp. polli Stertz (14 1) varies to such a degree, that possibly it is 
a separate genuine species; the ground colour is frequently a greyish inclining towards olive, markings are 
much more precisely distinct, both transverse lines prominent, 3 to 4 black sagittate marks before the sub- 
terminal line. Hindwings somewhat paler dusky grey than forewings, with pale fringes. Ground colour of the 
larva is a brighter green than that of lemeri, it also feeds on Artemisia. From Vintshgovia. It should be men¬ 
tioned here that it was not the late Mr. Poll that discovered this insect but the keen collector Astfaller in 
Merano, who gave the first specimens he found to Poll who passed them on as if he himself had obtained them. 
rcnaii. C. renati Oblh. (Vol. 3, p. 83, pi. 20 d). As has meanwhile been ascertained this species belongs anato¬ 
mically to the Conisanici and should be classified nearest to leineri. Meanwhile this rare species has been found 
to be more widely distribueted than at first assumed. It has now been frequently discovered in the Alpes Mari- 
times, southwards to Albarracin. We are giving a fresh illustration (14 1). 
ostro- C. ostrogovichi Drt. (14 1) is also to be classified in the group of leineri. Forewings pale grey-yellow, 
govtcln. thorax rather more grey. Forewings with simple black transverse lines, the anterior one forming 3 arcs, the 
posterior one sharply dentate; orbicular stigma small, round, pale and with black surround, reniform stigma 
large, whitish, with heavy black circumscription, the lower lobes of both pure white and protracted inwardly 
and outwardly; from the inner angle a central shade extends to the inner margin. Sub terminal line somewhat 
paler, dentate, and anteriorly to same obsolete sagittate marks. Hindwings brownish, darker than forewings, 
duskier on margin, inner margin and fringes whitish. From Rumania (Cluj). According to Filipjev it also 
occurs at Dagestan (Ciscaucasia) and specimens are to be found in the Leningrad Museum. He states further 
that according to the genitalia it is identical with leineri. 
16. Genus: Saragossa Stgr. 
seeboldi. S. seeboldi Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 81). We are glad to be able to illustrate this interesting species from a 
arabum. typical Spanish specimen (14 1). arabuni Culot is the N. African race, it is rather darker olive-brown in ground 
colour so that the markings stand out more prominently white. Markings however are somewhat constricted 
and hindwings are not such a pure white but have a faint yellowish tone. 
17. Genus: Oiiycliestra Hmps. 
siccanorum. 0. siccaiioruni Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 82. pi. 19 g). The illustration is unsatisfactory and is replaced by a 
better one (15 a). 
bergi. 0. bergi Kusnezow. Similar to siccanorum ; body and forewings ochreous grey admixed with brown; 
both transverse lines are double with pale interfilling, the posterior one indistinct with 2 to 3 sharp curves at 
lower extremity. Orbicular stigma pale with brown centre; reniform stigma large with sharp black lower edge 
and somewhat brownish centre; the wide claviform stigma is indistinct. The delicate subterminal line extends 
parallel to the margin and is ochreous white with a pale spot at apex; fringes grey. Hindwings whitish grey
