mediana white to the margin and somewhat shaded below same; towards the margin there are faint grey streaks 
in the interstices, cell spot absent, base of fringes dark grey. Hindwings darker than the forewings, grey-black, 
with white fringes. S. Ussuri. 
S. subrosea Mats, has rosy grey forewings, a black-brown spot in the lower angle of cell, otherwise subrosca. 
devoid of markings except for a sparse interspersion of brownish black scales. Costa and fringes reddish. Hind- 
wings, paler at base, dark brownish with rosy red fringes. Wing expanse: 42—46 mm. Honsho and Hokkaido 
(Japan). 
S. griseola Mats. Forewings yellowish grey peppered with sparse brownish black scales, devoid of griseola. 
markings except for a faint darkening in the interstices, there is a row of indistinct blackish dots on the margin. 
Hindwings whitish with silky gloss, the veins with darker streaks on eacli side, dark spots on apical margin. 
Wing expanse: 38 mm. Hokkaido. 
41a. Genus: Heoborolia Mats. 
Is very close to the Genus Borolia which Warren had classified under Sideridis, as it only differs by 
the hairlike covering of the thorax. In Neoborolia head and thorax are coarsely scaled; the apex of forewings 
is rectangular. Only 1 species: 
N. noshirae Mats, resembles S. griseola Mats, in colour and contour, but has a brownish black row of noshirae. 
dots in postmedian area. Forewings pale yellowish with darker streaks alongside the veins, the veins themselves 
however paler than ground colour, a few black scales are interspersed below the mediana and submedian fold; 
marginal area somewhat darker. Hindwings of same colour as forewings, a row of black-brown dots towards 
the apex on the margin. Wing expanse: 36 mm. Honsho. 
Subfamily: Cucullianae. 
1. Genus: Hracliygalea Hmps. 
B. aibolineata Black. (Vol. 3, p. 102, pi. 28 d). The illustration in the Main Volume suffices to recognise albolineata. 
this small algerian species. 
2. Genus: Cucullia Schrlc. 
C . jankowskii Obtli. (Vol. 3, p. 102, pi. 26 a). — Japonica Mats, is a much paler form from Japan (Sapporo, japonica. 
Daisen). 
C. argentea Hufn. (Vol. 3, p. 102, pi. 26a). — divina Culot is a dusky, deep olive-green form from E. divina. 
Prussia. — fasciata Schreiber denotes a bred specimen from near Berlin which lias a silvery apical spot and fasciata. 
the 2 submarginal spots enlarged and confluent so that they form a wide silvery submarginal band. On the 
other hand the subdiscal spot is completely absent. 
C. argentina F. (Vol. 3, p. 102, pi. 26 b). — grisescens Wgnr. the material characteristics are the grey grisescens. 
collar, thorax and scapulae; the dark markings of forewings are bolder, hindwings pure white, the veins are 
more densely scaled with black in the region of the costa, thus appearing more heavily marked. This is a well 
differentiated, constant mountain race from the region of Sultan-Dagh in Asia Minor. It differs from the form 
achalina Pglr. by the retention of the pure white hindwings. 
C. bubaceki Kilt (16 a) is a new species that closely resembles argentina, but body and forewings are bubaceki. 
ashy grey. The silvery longitudinal band, that is narrower than in argentina , is deeply excurved in an arc at 
its outer end and has both ends protracted to a point, the dentate projection is more distinct on the underside. 
The silvery band has a somewhat brownish edge anteriorly and posteriorly. Veins of hindwings are darkened 
towards the margin and costa and margin of hindwings are dusky grey-brown. Described from Spain (Albar- 
racin and Ribas near Madrid) but also probably occurring in Algeria as Oberthur indicates that from there 
he has received besides typical argentina also achalina and this very probably will prove to be bubaceki. Larva 
with somewhat less prominent transverse pads than absinthii. If is a nice greenish blue with white longitudinal 
lines, black hairy warts and dark transverse spots on the dorsum. It feeds on Artemisia herba alba and pupates 
in a loose puparium composed of sand, earth and bits of vegetation. There are 2 broods in July and September. 
C. biradiata Kozh. (16 a) belongs to the same group and also closely resembles argentina, differing biradiata. 
however from same by the wide silvery longitudinal band that extends to the apex and which is silvery through¬ 
out, also at apex. Besides, a second narrower longitudinal band extends along the inner margin almost to the 
anal angle of forewing. From around Minussinsk, captured in June.
