44. Genus: Itliizotypc Hmps. 
R. flammea Esp. (Vol. 3, p. 138, pi. 34 a, b). — vividior Obth. is the Algerian form, that is common at riridior. 
Lambessa and also at Tunis. It has paler grey marginal and deeper black median areas, so that the latter appears 
more prominent. 
R. crassicornis Obth. (18 e) resembles jodea, the $ antennae are more boldly serrate and ciliate. Fore- crassi- 
wings with monotonous silky violet-grey marginal area, devoid of markings. No subterminal line or only vestiges 
of same. Between the transverse lines there is a fairly wide rectangular velvety black patch in lower half of 
median area. Hindwings with relatively large central lunule and darker marginal band. Digne; E. Pyrenees; 
Albarracin; Algeria. In the latter locality — obscura Obth. frequently occurs. These are very dusky $$ with dark obsmra. 
grey-black or red-black ground colour. 
R. iodea Guen. (Vol. 3, p. 138, pi. 34 b). — rubidior Strd. head, thorax and forewings more profusely rubidior. 
marked with red and without the whitish colouration. France and Spain. — schaefferi Obth. is a much paler schaefferi. 
blue-grey form, the black markings are bleached to a dull grey-black. Digne and the Pyrenees. 
45. Genus: Steiiostignia Warr. 
S. inquieta Pglr. (18 f) closely resembles curva Stgr ., the markings are brighter and more variegated, inquieta. 
Central area interrupted. The antennae with shorter cilia. Forewings uniformly grey with black basal streak, 
median area somewhat more brownish, the central lines distinct and with short dentations; they conjoin below 
centre, thus separating 2 patches. Orbicular stigma generally delicately extended to the small yellowish reni- 
form stigma. Subterminal line absent, black longitudinal streaks anterior to margin and below apex a dark 
oblique shade. Hindwings ashy grey with paler base. Aksu (E. Turkestan). 
46. Genus: Atliaiim sistsi Hmps. 
A. expressa Led. (Vol. 3, p. 139). We are giving illustrations of this species and of the form 
Stgr. (18 f). 
ochracea expressa. 
ochracea 
A. sapporensis Mats, is, according to the description, much like expressa. Forewings grey-brown with sappo- 
coppery gloss. Subbasal line black-brown, anterior line double, only distinct below the mediana with pale grey rensis - 
interfilling, angulated on vein 1. Orbicular stigma large, round with black surround, elliptical at top. Reni- 
form stigma also large, both somewhat paler than ground with black and pale grey surrounds. Claviform stigma 
large, conical, also with black surround and with coppery brown centre. The posterior transverse line double, 
undulate, interfilled with black-brown, extended to dentations on 5 and 6. Subterminal line yellowish brown 
anteriorly with coppery brown patches; posteriorly with a marginal line of black crescents. Hindwings grey 
with grey-brown discal spot and posterior to same a transverse line. Wing expanse: 30—34 mm. Sapporo, Kyoto. 
A. siderigera Christ. (Vol. 3, p. 139). This species is now being illustrated (ISf) from specimens in the siderigera. 
Pungeler collection. 
A. splendida 0. B.-H. Forewings ochreous yellow, black subbasal and anterior transverse lines. The splendida. 
posterior half of median area, blackish, excepting for the yellow reniform stigma. Fringes yellow with black 
checks. Hindwings grey with darker cell spot and 2 parallel dark transverse stripes. Head and thorax ochreous 
yellow. Antennae bipectinated. Possibly this is only a yellow aberration of siderigera, analogous to the ochracea 
form of expressa. Wing expanse: 30 mm. A single specimen from Sajan (Munku Sardyk). 
A. cortex Alph. (Vol. 3, p. 139). We are also able to illustrate this species and the smaller grey form cortex. 
corticula Pglr. from specimens in the Pungeler collection (18 f). — parvispina Tshet. is an Agrotidae and rorilcuIn - 
mentioned on p. 88 of this Supplement and also illustrated on pi. 12 1. 
46a. Genus: Victrix Stgr. 
Whether this Genus, which was omitted from Main Volume, should be retained next to Athaumasta, is 
open to question. From the description, which is very scant, the 3rd joint of palpi is longer and there is no 
basal crest on abdomen. According to Filipjev, who has examined the type, the single species could well be 
classified under Athaumasta. 
V. karsiana Stgr. Thorax and forewings impure dark grey. Orbicular stigma large; the small reniform karsiana. 
stigma is only indicated by a paler patch, at the outer edge of which there are a few dark and light dots. 
Both transverse lines are only faint, with slightly paler edges on averted sides. Before the fringes there is a 
row of black marginal dots. The veins are slightly dusted with whitish in marginal area. Hindwings impure
