ticola has a reniform stunted process on frons that is excised below and that projects more prominently having 
a turned over edge. It is widely distributed from Syria to Algeria and occurs from March to May. 
22. Genus: Triclioelea Grt. 
T. albicolon Sepp. (Vol. 3. p. 83, pi. 21 b). — egena Led. as well as the following: — arida Led. should 
probably be removed and considered genuine species. We a;re illustrating both (15 b); egena is distributed 
fairly widely westwards and occurs already at Sarepta in the Caucasus and Taurus, in the Steppes of Edrgisen 
and as far as Djarkent. 
T. simplex Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 84, pi. 21 d). 
T. amydra Pglr. (15 b) should be removed from the list of synonyms and classified as a genuine species. 
It is more daintily built, much paler, with smoother scales and more delicate and diffuse markings. 
T. sociabilis Grasl. (Vol. 3, p. 84, pi. 20 d) is not recognisable from the illustration in Main Volume. 
On plate 15 b we are giving a good illustration of this rare insect. 
T. demotica Pglr. (Vol. 3, p. 84, pi. 20 d). Just as the previous species, this one also is not recognisable 
from the illustration in Main Volume. This is rectified by a fresh figure here (15 c). 
23. Genus: Manobia Stgr. 
M. sachalinensis Mats, is closely related to xena, but is smaller and has a darker grey ground colour 
with brown markings; the subbasal line is distinct, the anterior transverse line is wide and intersected and sub¬ 
divided into 4 spots by the paler veins; the large pale stigmata are situate in the brown central area as in 
xena-, subterminal line blackish brown, undulate with pale outer edge and posterior to same, the margin is 
narrowly blackish brown. Fringes are grey with dark central line. Hindwings dark grey, paler at base, the 
dark fringes have white terminations. Wing expanse: 31—33 mm. Saghalin. Only $$ are known. 
M. grisea Btlr. (Vol. 3, p. 84, pi. 20 e). Besides being found in Japan this is now also said to occur in 
S. Saghalin. 
24. Genus: T^asiaiiobia Pimps. 
L. lauta Pglr. (Vol. 3, p. 84). We are illustrating a specimen ex the collection of Pungeler (15 c). 
L. levicula Pglr. (15 c) is so close to decreta that it may be a local form of same, but it is decidedly 
paler and with more monotonous colouration. Eorewings pale brownish with faint markings and short black 
basal streak. Transverse lines are indistinct, the inner one is undulate forming a sharp angle towards the base 
on the mediana, the subterminal line is not discernible. Orbicular stigma is large, circular, extending in 2 points 
at lower edge, thus forming a spot. Reniform stigma is also large and similarly is extended to a two-pointed 
spot at the lower edge. Claviform stigma is absent. Hindwings pale grey-brown with blackish marginal line 
and pale fringes. Wing expanse: 32 mm. Lob-nor. 
25. Genus: H^asiestra Pimps. 
L. dovrensis WocPe (Vol. 3, p. 85, pi. 21 c). fumida Graes ., which had been described as an Anar fa, is 
a synonym. It is also known to occur in Lapland and is distributed eastwards as far as Sajan, Irkutsk. 
L. stereotypa Kozh. should be classified after montana Leech (Vol. 3, p. 84, pi. 20 e) and belongs in the 
same group. Body and forewings dark yellow-grey, the latter with indistinct black markings; stigmata very 
indistinct and only the reniform stigma has a narrow pale edge, claviform stigma is absent. Transverse lines 
are double, but very indistinct. A narrow black central shade in the middle, which in its upper part adumbrates 
the inner part of the reniform stigma. The pale yellow-white marginal line is distinct. The subterminal line 
is scarcely undulate and only relatively distinct in the $. Hindwings yellow-grey with darker marginal band. 
This dusky faintly marked species reminds one most of dark specimens of Scot-, trifolii. Wing expanse: 34—36 mm. 
Minussinsk, steppes of Kalish occurring in June. 
L. persa Alpln. (Vol. 3, p. 85, pi. 20 e). The illustration is unrecognisable. We are giving a fresh figure 
(15 c) of a specimen in the Pungeler collection. 
Pi. meraca Pglr. (Vol. 3, p. 85, pi. 21 c). For this species the following name should be used on the 
grounds of priority: extrita Stgr. The illustration on pi. 34 d is a poor one, that on pi. 21 c is rather better. 
The species is not a Cucullianae.
