53. Genus: Itliyncliaglaca Hmps. 
R. scitula Btlr. (Vol. 3, p. 154). I have before me, from Hoene's collection from Japan, some 200 spe¬ 
cimens of this exceedingly variable species. No two specimens are identical! No purpose would be served by 
denominating all these forms. In the type the basal streak is absent. — kumamotonis Mats, has a black tri¬ 
angular mark basally below mediana. — albibasis /. n. has a white patch there. Instead of giving innumerable 
descriptions, we are illustrating a series of the different forms (18 e). Ground colour may be whitish, grey to 
black, yellow, brown or dark brown, blue-grey to slate-black. Markings may be pale or dark, stigmata are 
sometimes white, yellow, brown or jet-black with pale or dark surrounds. Again the markings may be distinct 
or quite diffuse, so that innumerable variations are possible. It would indeed be possible to give thousands 
of denominations! 
54. Genus: Eupsilia Hbn. 
E. satellitia L. (Vol. 3, p. 144, pi. 35 c). — brunneor Strd. a form that is very briefly described as “ brown” 
and no reason is stated, why this specimen should be separated from brunnea Lampa. — nigricans P. Schulze 
is a blackish suffused, probably melanic form. — olivacea Porritt has olive-greenish ground colour. — flavi- 
maculata Len'z has yellow reniform stigma and would seem to correspond to the type or the form brunnea. — 
ochrea Lenz is a form that is paler, more ochreous yellowish in marginal area. 
E. unipuncta Scriba closely resembles the preceding species, but is immediately distinguishable by a 
round white dot in place of reniform stigma. All the other markings in the same arrangement as in satellitia, 
but very indistinct. Hindwings dark grey. Japan. 
56. Genus: Orhona PLbn. 
0. fragariae Esp. (Vol. 3, p. 145, pi. 35 e). — conjuncta Hirschke has both stigmata of cell conjoined, 
canaria Dhl. denotes the form that is greyer with heavier blackish interspersions. — rubetra Dhl. is unicoloured 
dark brown. — pallida DM. is pale yellow-grey or grey-brown with almost obsolete markings. 
57. Genus: Xantholeiica Steph. 
X. croceago F. (Vol. 3, p. 145, pi. 35 f). — niveata Obth. is the form from Sebdou and Lambessa in Algeria 
It occurs there from November to March and is a much paler yellowish white form that occasionally has a 
greenish tinge and is without definite markings. — intermedia Obth. is a transition form from S. France (Digne) 
and the Pyrenees, paler, pinkish with fainter markings. We are giving an illustration (18 1). — luridago Dhl. 
is a nice race from the S. Tyrol with ground colour between pale yellow and dull orange with nebulous mark¬ 
ings which are paler or darker grey-blue and olive-brownish. This form is taken chiefly in the Etsch and 
Eisack valleys up to the Mendel region (altitude 14- 1500 m). 
58. Genus: (Jouistra Hbn. 
C. eriophora Pglr. (Vol. 3, p. 146, pi. 35 g). The illustration was not good, we are giving a fresh picture 
here (18 1). perspicua Pglr. is a much darker grey, less reddish and distinctly marked local form, resembling 
the rather more broadly built veronicae. Markings however are more distinct. From E. Turkestan (Chamil- 
Hami). We are also illustrating this form from a specimen in the Pungeler collection (181). 
0. erythrocephala F. (Vol. 3, p. 146, pi. 35 g). unicolor D. Luc. is a unicolourous dark scarcely marked 
form from Algeria. lucasi Culot is a very dark glossy form with dull black subterminal dots and spots around 
reniform stigma. Algeria. 
V. vau-punctatum Esp. (Vol. 3, p. 146, pi. 35 h). — impleta Spul. has orbicular stigma with intensely 
black centre and reniform stigma surrounded by black dots. — intricata Dup. is a transition form to immaculata 
with reduced and faint black dots around stigmata. 
C. acutula St.gr. (Vol. 3, p. 146, pi. 35 h). Warren evidently has mistaken the v. scortea for the type 
form and Osthelder has drawn attention to this; acutula is the grey-black form, that has the colour of ligula 
polita, — scortea St.gr. on the other hand is pale grey-brown with blackish grey markings. The illustration in 
Main Volume therefore actually depicts a dark scortea, which however really should be a shade lighter. The species, 
that has hitherto only been found around Jerusalem, is now reported by Osthelder to occur near Marash 
(Taurus) although in a slightly varying form. Forewings grey-black with deep reddish brown suffusion and
