ANTITYPE. By Dr. M. Draudt. 
lima, scales, having only 3 delicate dentate transverse lines, marginal and costal dots. Albarracin. — luna Schwing. 
It is doubtful which species is referred to here, size and markings agree with those of dubia, but there is no 
yellowish tone or dull gloss. Ground colour is pure grey, scaling is coarser than in nigrocinda. Hindwings 
grey-white with distinct median band. Andalusia (Sierra de Luna). 
pentheri. A. pentheri Rbl. belongs in the group of forms around dubia. Antennae are similarly built. Thorax and 
forewings yellow-grey with 3 subbasal dentate blackish transverse lines that are very close together and that 
commence with dark costal spots. Basal area therefore appears the darkest part of the wing. Central area 
very pale, edged outwardly by a fine dark transverse line with long dentations, which projects sharply inwards 
between 1 and 3. The small oval orbicular stigma has distinct dark surround. In place of reniform stigma, 
there is only a pale spot. Marginal area nebulous and dusky at costa and above centre. At margin a line of 
delicate dark lunules. Hindwings grey with wide dusky blackish margin. Wing expanse: 36 mm. Somewhat 
resembles Dasy.st. anceps, differing from same by the build of the antennae, more yellowish colouration and 
marginal row of dots. From one A from the Erdshias-Dagh, captured in July. 
canescens. A. canescens Dup. (Vol. 3, p. 137, pi. 33 g). The illustration was poor, much too dull yellow; we are 
giving a better picture (18 d) of a $ from Dalmatia and a Portuguese $. The species is exceedingly variable. —- 
calida. calida Trti. is a pale, faintly reddish form with reduced markings on clear ground. Oporto; Liguria. — aspho- 
delioides ^ e ^°’^ es Tdi. (18 d ) appears more smoothly scaled, grey-blue, more simply marked. Central area frequently 
rather darker, the large stigmata pale and prominent. Hindwings of $ very dusky. Crimea; Amasia; Taurus. 
aritzensis. — aritzensis Trti. (18 d) is a very dark, blue-grey, variegated form. Hindwings very characteristic with dark 
plumbina. grey-brown triangular cuneiform marks at extremities of veins. Aritzo (Sardinia). -—- plumbina Osth. are ex¬ 
tremely dark blue-grey specimens with distinct whitish yellow markings. We are illustrating one such specimen 
from Marash (18 d). 
grisea. A. grisea D. Luc. (18 d) is, according to the description, most like canescens. Wing contour rather elong¬ 
ate. Forewings leaden grey with somewhat darker fringes having white interspersions. The black anterior 
transverse line is oblique. Orbicular and reniform stigmata are distinct, paler grey than ground colour. The 
black postmedian line is clear and forms a rectangular bend. Subterminal line sharply dentate, whitish, parallel 
to margin. Hindwings white peppered with grey, darker grey in $, with grey marginal line. Thorax grey ad¬ 
mixed with black, abdomen dark grey. Tunis (Kebili). 
illecebrosa. A. illecebrosa Pglr. (Vol. 3, p. 137, pi. 33 g). The illustration was unrecognisable. A better one is given 
here (18 d). 
styriaca. A. xantJiomista Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 137, pi. 33 h). —- styriaca Hofftn. is a dark form that is a nice blue-grey 
nivea. with dusky black median area almost or completely devoid of yellow-red patches. Styria. — nivea Dhl. (18 e) 
is a very fine, pale, almost whitish form that is small and with narrow wings. All yellow is absent, in contrast 
to nivescens, which is richly spotted with yellow. The markings are a nice blue-grey, the black dentate trans¬ 
verse line in median area is absent. Hindwings glossy silvery white. The $ is rather more blackish grey, stig¬ 
mata clear and only faintly shaded. Southern Abruzzi (Montagna Grande, Pescocostanzo). 
kalchbergi. A. kalclibergi Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 138). We are now giving an illustration (18 e) of this rare little species 
with its dark median band. 
jonis. A. jonis Led. (Vol. 3, p. 138, pi. 33 i). Osthelder reports that he captured a specimen at Marash and 
we are therefore able to more fully describe the species. It is smaller than suda with much more unicolourous, 
impure grey forewings, that have not got the large white reniform stigma of suda. The illustration in Main Volume 
is fairly good, but it should be smaller and the pale patches should be more heavily dusted with grey. It has 
also been captured in Albania (Korab) by Rebel and Zerny. 
schimae. A. suda Hbn. G. (Vol. 3, p. 138, pi. 33 i). — schimae Schaiv. has purer whitish grey forewings with darker 
Ivmpida. median band. Bisina. — limpida Dhl. (18 e) is also a paler, milky white, clearly marked form, without any brownish 
or yellowish hue, with a pale dull bluish grey median band with very meagre dark interspersion. Hindwings 
pure white, dusted with faint blackish grey in $. A small race from the southern Abruzzi at altitudes of 1000 to 
amasina. 1800 m. — amasina Stgr. should certainly not be classified with jonis and we are now giving a good illustration 
(18 e). 
sub- A. chi L. (Vol. 3, p. 138, pi. 33 i, 34 a). — subcaerulea Graes. is now illustrated (18 e). —• caerulescens 
caerulea. Hartig is a very similar dark blue-grey. From the S. Tyrol. — diluta Hartig (= marsicana Dhl.) on the contrary 
lesccns a ver y pale white local race, in which the markings are delicate pale grey and only the “X” shaped mark 
diluta. posterior to the claviform stigma is deep black. Hindwings pure silvery white. North and central Italy. —• 
aibo- albofasciata Kiefer has dark grey forewings with a distinct pale grey dentate band which is edged outwardlyby 
fasciata. deep black. Enns Valley.
