COPICUCULLIA — HYPOMECIA. By Dr M. Draudt.

3. Genus: Copicucullla Smith. 
Dumont created the Genus: Pseudocopicucullia for the palaearctic species of this group, the type of 
which is actually an american species. 
C. syrtana Mab. (Vol. 3, p. Ill, pi. 29 a) occurs eastwards as far as Egypt. xyrtanu. 
C. naruenensis St.gr. (Vol. 3, p. Ill, pi. 29 a). We are now able to illustrate the form — eumorpha Alph. eumorpha. 
(16 e). 
3a. Genus: Metlaouia Dumont. 
Differs from the preceding by the boldly pectinated antennae of the actually should only have the 
rank of a subgenus. 
M. oberthuri Deckert (16 e) has whitish ground of forewings densely bestrewn with grey-black; only oberthuri. 
the cuneiform marks in the interstices before the margin remain pure white, a streak above the black basal 
streak and a yellowish dusted longitudinal streak in and behind the cell. Of the other markings only the long 
dentations of the 2 transverse lines and an oblique black streak from the anal angle are distinctly visible. Hind- 
wings whitish, veins and terminal line smoky brown, in the $ quite dusky brown. Algeria, Tunisia. 
M. fioiii Trti. strongly resembles the preceding species, but is much paler in ground colour and the fiorii. 
brown sharply dentate transverse lines are finer and more distinct. Ground colour is a pale bluish grey, mark¬ 
ings are red-brown, almost just like in oberthuri. Hindwings silky glossy white, somewhat dusky towards 
the margin with fine dark marginal line and whitish fringes. Cyrenaica (Tobruk). Probably only a subspecies 
of the preceding. 
4. Genus: Clheligalea Hmps. 
C. scopariae Dorfm. (Vol. 3, p. Ill, pi. 29 a). The species should be denominated as indicated and not scopariac. 
fuchsiana Ev. as I have already explained under that species, which is a genuine Gucullia. As the small species 
was not well illustrated, we are giving a better picture here (16 e). The asiatic localities are probably mostly 
referable to fuchsiana and at present it is impossible to give any exact particulars of the distribution of this 
species, which is chiefly found in Austria, Hungary and western Asia, scopariae is smaller and sleeker than 
fuchsiana, the stigmata are less distinctly whitish, claviform stigma entirely absent, the area behind same is 
hot paler than the rest of the wing. A distinct posterior transverse line is always present in its entire extent. 
On the margin there are separate thick black marginal streaks which in fuchsiana form a continuous brown 
marginal line. 
6. Genus : l^oplioierges Hmps. 
L. millierei Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. Ill, pi. 28 b). The illustration in the Main Volume is not recognisable, 
we are giving a fresh illustration of this rare species (15 k). — horhammeri Wgnr. has a pronouncedly brownish 
and not blue-grey ground colour. The reddish streak situate near the margin before the reniform stigma, is 
absent; the costal streak is not whitish but grey-brown, the black markings are more clearly discernible. From 
Asia Minor (Anatolia). Probably a transition to the subsequent centralasiae Stgr. which is more definitely a 
genuine species.

L. centralasiae Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 112). We are able to give an illustration of this interesting species (15 k). central- 
do yellowish grey form 
siderably from the much darker deep reddish brown centralasiae. 
aksuensis A. B.-H. (15 1) is a still more pale yellowish grey form from the desert around Aksu, it varies con- .• 
L. fatua Pglr. (Vol. 3, p. 112) 
giving a good illustration (15 1). 
This fine species was not illustrated in the Main Volume, we are now fatua. 
8. Genus: ffypoim'cia Stgr. 
H. quadrivirgula Mab. (Vol. 3, p. 112). We are now able to give an illustration of a typical specimen, quadri-

that become shorter towards the top. The white streaks at anal angle are more numerous and are irregularly 
enwidened forming spots. Hindwings are rather less whitish and the marginal line is distincter, underside 
paler. The $ has much more narrow and darker dusky grey forewings and dark grey hindwings. From the 
Valley of the Jordan in Palestine.
