V. sauberi Graes. (17 1). Head and thorax white, admixed with black. Forewings whitish with olive 
dusting. Basal area faintly peppered with blackish, median area almost completely suffused with black. Therein 
the large whitish stigmata with black surrounds. Claviform stigma is particularly large and reniform stigma is 
protracted inwards on mediana. Dentate transverse lines are very bold, black; an oblique black streak at anal 
angle; subterminal line is absent. There is a black spot in post median area of costa having 2 white costal dashes 
therein. Small black marginal lunules and black dotted fringes. Hindwings blackish brown with white and 
brown checked fringes. Amur territory. 
V. dimorpha 0. B.-H. (17 e). The A appears almost identical with sauberi, but ground colour is almost 
pure white without greenish dusting, the white colour more extensive, only the area between the orbicular 
stigma and subterminal line filled with black, in which the white reniform stigma is. The entire outer area is 
snow white with a dense black arched streak over the anal angle. Fringes white with black checks. Hindwings 
blackish; fringes pale with dark checks. The $ is completely suffused with black, only the stigmata are slightly 
apparent. Wing expanse: 32—34 mm. Sajan (Tunkinsk, White mountains) southwest of Irkutsk. 
V. viridimacula Graes. (17 1) was omitted from Main Volume. It is a large species with rather narrow 
forewings which are moss-green, speckled with black. Median and marginal areas less intensively green, veins 
dusted with bluish brown. The green stigmata have black and white surrounds. Transverse lines are double, 
interfilled with green, the posterior one with sharp dentations which are partially very protracted. The whitish 
subterminal line is also dentate. Fringes brown intersected by green and with green line at base. Hindwings 
dark brown with ochreous fringes. — deviridaia Bird, has median area brown, only slightly green at costa and 
inner margin. East Siberia (Ussuri); Japan. 
43. Genus: Antitype Hbn. 
A. philippsi Pglr. (18 a). Forewings of pale ochreous ground colour with a vermilion reddish tinge, 
fairly densely peppered with black, especially in median area which is outlined by simple dentate transverse 
lines. Stigmata pale with delicate black centres and surrounds. Subterminal line generally rather indistinct, 
paler. Margin and fringes pale, the latter with slightly darker checks and dividing line. Hindwings whitish, 
sparsely scaled and faintly speckled with black, except for the narrow pale marginal area. They have discal 
lunule and postmedian band. Persia (Sultanabad). 
A. rosea Rothsch. (= concolor Obth.) (18 a) has still longer pectinations to antennae than the preceding 
species. Forewings with ochreous reddish more or less rosy suffused ground colour sparsely peppered with 
blackish. Median area in some specimens rather more prominent. Anterior transverse line very indistinctly 
double, consisting of 3 arcs. Posterior line simple, sharply dentate with somewhat paler outer edge. Stigmata 
of medium size, pale like the ground colour with blackish surrounds and fainter centres. Between them there 
is a more or less evident central shade. The subterminal line is dentate with darkly shaded inner edge. There 
are bold black marginal spots and fringes have faintly darker checks. Hindwings whitish with discal spot and 
postmedian band that is displaced towards centre and terminates at anal angle. Algeria. —- aurora Trti. for 
which the author created the Genus Pseudopolia, should certainly be classified here. It is a larger form that 
is more heavily suffused with pinky rose. Cyrenaica. 
A. serpentina Tr. (Vol. 3, p. 135, pi. 35 b). — ab. stupenda Wgnr. This species is generally very con¬ 
stant and scarcely varies at all; stupenda is a very remarkable variation with white ground colour, so that the 
colours seem to be inverted in this form. Dalmatia. 
A. rebecca Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 135, pi. 33 c). The illustration in Main Volume is unrecognisable and a better 
one is given here (18 a). It resembles rosea, but has much shorter pectinations to antennae. 
A. hagar Rothscli. is closely related to rebecca. Palpi and head brownish grey. Antennae boldly pectinated, 
orange brownish. Thorax grey-brown, abdomen paler yellowish brown. Forewings brownish yellow with 4 
irregular dark grey dentate transverse lines with an indistinct grey subterminal band of sagittate marks. Hind¬ 
wings pale brownish yellow with faintly darker median and subterminal bands. Length of forewings: 20 mm. 
From one captured at Bou Saada (Algeria) in April. 
A. discalis Rothsch. most resembles germana Rothsch., but has boldly serrate antennae. Thorax reddish 
yellow, interspersed with grey, abdomen greyer. Forewings bright yellowish red with a wide dark sooty grey, 
somewhat cuneiform, mark, that almost fills the entire disc of forewings and which extends along costal area 
to base. This patch is edged by black punctiform lines. Subterminal band is whitish indistinctly dusted with 
grey. Hindwings yellowish white with a curved rather indistinct brown central line. Length of forewings: 
20 mm. From one $ captured at Batna (Algeria) in September. 
A. armena Ev. (18 a) from central Asia-Minor (Tokat) and Shahkuh, is according to Filip jev a genuine 
Antitype, which has no connection with Euxoa deserta. According to the illustration it fairly closely resembles 
rosea. Markings are almost identical, colouration is pale ochreous yellowish sparsely peppered with blackish.
