C. mixta Frr. (Vol. 3, p. 103, pi. 26 b) occurs in a paler form also in Upper Italy. 
C. sachalinensis Mats, closely related to maculosa Stejr. (Vol. 3, p. 103, pi. 28 a), forewings mottled 
with leaden grey scales, the round orbicular stigma with white surround, black on both sides, reniform stigma 
obsolete, only indicated by a white arc inwardly; posterior transverse line black-brown, sharply angulated on 
submedian fold; in each of the cells 1, 4 and 6 a black longitudinal streak. Hindwings dark brown somewhat 
paler at base. Wing expanse: 37 mm. N. Saghalin (Alexandrowsk). 
C. cineracea Frr. (Vol. 3, p. 103, pi. 26 c) has also been discovered in Italy. — infuscata Tshetv., speci¬ 
mens from Minussinsk and the surrounding country have very dusky hindwings in both sexes. June and July. 
C. artemisiae Hufn. (Vol. 3, p. 103, pi. 26 c). — ab. immaculata Bromb. the 2 stigmata are completely 
absent on both forewings. Bred from a larva from Kaiserstuhl. — obscura Trti. is a very dusky grey-black 
monotonous form in which only the stigmata and the black longitudinal streaks are distinct, the pale spot 
below stigmata is almost completely extinct. Apennines of Modena. — perspicua Warn., a local race from 
Ussuri (Suifun) much darker and more distinctly marked than specimens from N. Germany; stigmata in 
contrast to the name type form, very prominent, especially the orbicular stigma with its grey centre widely 
encircled by white. 
C. tescorum Pglr. (Vol. 3, p. 104) we are now able to give an illustration (16 a). 
C. jozankeana Mats. This resembles 'perforata Brem. (Vol. 3, p. 105, pi. 26 e) in size and wing contour 
but is much paler and differs in the marking. Forewings pale grey, the black anterior transverse line only wide 
at costa, twice sharply angulated below the mediana; the orbicular stigma white encircled by black, elliptical 
at top, inwardly of same a white cuneiform mark which is separated from the stigma by a black streak. Reni¬ 
form stigma whitish with black-brown edge and brownish centre. The undulate postmedian has a paler outer 
edge. Anterior to same above the inner margin a black oval spot. Veins black in marginal area with 3 black 
marks between them subterminally. Hindwings paler than in perforata. Wing expanse: 40—45 mm. S. Saghalin 
(Ichinosawa; Kawakami). End of July, early August. 
C. santonici Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 104, pi. 26 cl). — aksuana /. n. (16 a) a form that is completely suffused 
with ochreous yellow; from Aksu. Type in the collection of Pungeler. 
C. vicina A. B.-H. (16 a) very close to mixta Frr. (Vol. 3, p. 103, pi. 26 b) but has much wider wings, 
bolder markings and is more darkly coloured. Forewings dark ashy grey, somewhat paler in marginal area, suf¬ 
fused with brownish red, especially in disc. Therein the stigmata with their delicate white surrounds stand 
out prominently. Marginal lunules boldly black. Hindwings much darker with distinct central spot. Wing 
expanse: 42—45 mm. Alai; Karagai-tao; Julclus. 
C. umbratica L. (Vol. 3, p. 105, pi. 26 f). — rliodana Cabeau has forewings with a slightly roseate hue. 
Hindwings whiter than type. Described from Belgium. — obscura Buresch is a melanic form described from 
a single specimen from Sofia. — albida Spul. is the counterpart thereto, being a pale whitish ashy grey form, 
that occasionally occurs among the type form and may be identical with clarior Fuchs. 
C. chamomillae Schiff. (Vol. 3, p. 105, pi. 26 g). There is still considerable uncertainty in regard to 
this species and probably the form from Algeria described as — amoenissima Obth. is the same as the following 
species wredowi; amoenissima was described as a smaller form with paler grey and clearer and more distinct 
markings. From Algeria and Tunisia. 
C. wredowi Costa (16 a) has no connection with santolinae, but is a genuine species that is difficult to 
distinguish and is in close relationship to chamomillae. It is apparently very widely distributed. In the first 
instance it differs from calendulae by the more dainty build, narrower wings, more delicate markings and a 
certain bluish grey tone to the colouration which in the $ is usually somewhat darker, santolinae is also similar 
but is more robustly built, markings are heavier and more contrasting, the whitish dots under stigmata are 
more distinct and hindwings more brownish. From Capri, Sicily, Algeria, Tunisia, Palestine, Syria, Taurus 
(Marash). — caucasica ( B.-H . i. 1.) S.-R. is a form with coarser pale dark mottling from the Caucasus. The 
larva is pale green or brown with yellow longitudinal stripes and pale brown ringed minute punctiform warts. 
It feeds in April and May on Achillea, hiding by day. The moth occurs from December to March and in this 
respect resembles inderienses. In my opinion however one cannot classify fudaeorum under wredowi as Sohn- 
Rethel has done. 
C. achilleae Cuen. (Vol. 3, p. 106, pi. 28 a). This rare little species that hitherto has only been found 
in Andalusia is, according to a specimen in the Pungeler collection, also to be found in Castile. The old illus¬ 
tration did not truly represent the species and we are giving a fresh picture here (16 b). It somewhat resembles 
a small pale tanaceti with very heavy black subanal marking, the fine black streak below and behind the end 
of cell is absent. Hindwings pure white with narrow brown marginal line. The species is not allied to wredowi. 
C. beata Rothsch. is one of the finest species in the umbratica group. It is close to tanaceti but much 
smaller and the black markings differ considerably. Antennae brown; head ashy grey, thorax bluish ashy 
grey, abdomen inclined to whitish with faint yellowish tinge laterally and with dark dorsal line and anal tuft.
