black transverse lines are simple, white edges on averted sides, the posterior line inclined to have a yellowish 
white edge. The white stigmata have black surrounds, orbicular stigma obliquely elliptical, with brown centre, 
reniform stima with black scales in centre. A faint oblique darker line proceeds from lower angle of cell to inner 
margin. Subterminal line yellowish white with small black sagittate marks anteriorly. Hindwings white, shaded 
dark brown at margin, with brown discal spot, postmedian and subterminal shades. Wing expanse: 34 mm. 
Cyprus. 
E. muscosa Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 130, pi. 32 b). As Osthelder has pointed out, this species was neither cor¬ 
rectly described nor well illustrated in Main Volume. Markings are just like those of lichenea, the inner line 
forms 3 pointed arcs. Claviform stigma is not obsolete, but very distinctly marked, a short, truncate cunei¬ 
form mark with wide black surround. Ground colour varies from pale brownish to black-brown. 
37. Genus: Crino Hbn. 
C. magnirena Alph. (Vol. 3, p. 131). We are illustrating a specimen from the Pungeler collection (17 i). 
G. satura Schiff. (Vol. 3, p. 131, pi. 32 b). — variegata Schaw. has stigmata and the large rufous anal 
patch coloured a pale yellowish, also the basal and premarginal dentate lines. From Kufstein (Tyrol). 
C. schumacheri Rbl. is clearly very like tenerijica, if it is not in fact synonymous with same. It is very 
large and with wide wings. Antennae very long, bipectinated. Thorax with tufty rufous hairs like the head 
and forewings. The latter with 2 simple black transverse lines that converge towards the inner margin, the 
anterior one undulate, the posterior one with long and bold dentations. Claviform stigma absent, orbicular 
stigma small, elliptical. Reniform stigma large with grey-black centre and white outward edge. There is no 
subterminal line in the dusky marginal area. Hindwings yellow-grey with blackish grey dusting and blackish 
discal spot and arched line anterior to centre. Abdomen yellowish grey with reddish yellow anal tuft. Wing 
expanse: 48 mm. From Orotava on Teneriffe. 
C. adusta Esj). (Vol. 3, p. 131, pi. 32 c). —- pavida Bsd. was incorrectly enumerated in the Main Volume 
as being synonymous with vulturina Frr. Hitherto a correct description does not seem to have been generally 
made known. Cttlot illustrates the type, according to which it is a smallish, unicoloured reddish brown form 
with delicate markings, all lines without whitish edges, the black basal streak very prominent. On the other 
hand the conjoining streak between claviform stigma and posterior transverse line is absent. From S. Russia. 
— virgata Tutt (17 i) has basal and subterminal areas, as well as centres of stigmata a paler reddish brown, 
veins still paler, sagittate marks anterior to subterminal line very distinct and large, also the marginal triangles. 
Scotland. — bcdtica Hering (1846) is superseded by the older name. — vulturinea H.-S (1845) (Vol. 3, p. 132, 
pi. 32 cl). This is the race from eastern Europe, East and West Prussia and Brandenburg. They are large dark, 
deep bluish red specimens with distinct black markings and an especially bold black conjoining streak between 
claviform stigma and posterior transverse line, vulturina Frr. is also a synonym of same. The illustration in 
Main Volume mentioned above, does therefore not depict this form, nor does the illustration of baltica (pi. 32 d) 
which is more like pavida. — septentrionalis Hoffm. is not by any means black, but much paler, inclining to 
brownish yellow in ground colour, distinctly marked with clear black submedian streak. An interesting small 
form from Finland. — carpathica Kaucki is a much darker, but otherwise normally marked form from the 
Carpathians. —- aterrima Costni is a small form, body and fore wings deep black and highly glossy, hindwings 
dusky at margin. From Mte. Gibbio. — juldussica A.B.-H. i. 1. I have a few specimens of this before me with 
especially protracted apices of forewings and with more oblique margins. They are somewhat paler blackish 
grey with a violet sheen in ground colour, very delicately marked, with transverse streak and very clear but 
fine white subterminal line without any trace of black cuneiform marks anteriorly. Hindwings very pale whitish 
with dark crescent at end of cell, postmedian and marginal bands. Juldus and Arasagungol. —- sylvatica Bell. 
should be removed from here and classified as a form of anilis. —■ moesta Stgr. is not identical with septentrio¬ 
nalis. We are illustrating this asiatic form (17 i). — vicina Alph. is also illustrated (17 i). — anilis is to be removed 
from among the forms of adusta. 
C. bathensis Lutzau (= pavida H.-S. nee Bsd.) (17 k). According to Petersen’s investigations this is 
a separate species. Genitalia are distinct. However from superficial characteristics it is not always easy to se¬ 
parate same from adusta and especially from pavida. Forewings black-brown with distinct transverse band and 
paler stigmata. Reniform stigma always with pronounced white centre. The black longitudinal streak in cellule 
lb very definite and the subterminal line is whitish and clear. Abdomen, especially in reddish. Hindwings 
whitish, more dusky at margin with discal spot and arched band. Baltic Provinces; Leningrad; Urals. 
C. usurpatrix Rbl. (= atlanticum Rbl. nec Baker) (17 k). A species that is somewhat like adusta. Fore¬ 
wings rufous, ante and postmedian areas paler and somewhat dusted with bluish grey. Black basal and longi¬ 
tudinal streak between claviform stigma and posterior transverse line. Both transverse lines indistinctly double. 
The upper stigmata paler with bluish grey centres. Orbicular stigma oblique and elongate. Reniform stigma wide, 
somewhat quadrate, with faint whitish outer edge. The brown claviform stigma is pointed. Subterminal line
