PYROIS; AMPHIPYRA. By Dr. M. Draudt. 
monilifera. in the Main Volume (28 h). —• monilifera Culot denotes a form of austauti that is brownish and more darkly 
rosina. speckled and — rosina Culot is a uniformly salmony pink form. Both from Algeria. —• subsp. bathi Doring has 
1 11 ' yellowish ground colour with a tinge of brownish. The brown central marking is inclined to be absent and is 
pale brown only between the central shade and posterior transverse stripe; orbicular and reniform stigmata 
have distinct brown surrounds, the latter with pale brown centre and yellowish white dot. Hindwings white, 
faintly suffused with brownish, but the inner marginal area is not brownish as is usually the case with gilvago. 
fuscescens. Syr Darja. Aube Ata, Issyk-kul. —- f. fuscescens Doring is a uniformly reddish dusted specimen of the previous 
form. The larva of gilvago and its forms eeds exclusively on elm. 
C. ocellaris Bkh. (Vol. 3, p. 155, pi. 28 h). Much the same applies here as said under gilvago. The type 
is fairly recognisably illustrated in the Main Volume, it might be a shade more reddish yellow. — cameago Warr. 
has a more reddish yellow central area, whilst marginal and basal areas in contrast are dusted with grey. — 
lineago Guen. denotes specimens that are more heavily suffused with dark grey, so that the ground colour gives 
a darkish brown impression. Transverse lines and veins remain pale. — palleago Hbn. is the counterpart thereto, 
being quite pale greyish yellow with still paler transverse lines. — punctata Heinr. is an aberration wdth a row 
of black dots at inner edge of subterminal line. —- intermedia Habich (19 d) is the form that is so often wrongly 
diagnosed, with pale ochreous to olive grey ground colour with bluish grey spots and bands, whereby in many 
specimens a striking resemblance is created to certain gilvago forms. The ocellaris forms are however generally 
easily recognisable by the more protracted and falcate apex of forewings. The larva feeds exclusively on poplar. 
innotata. C. sulphurago F. (Vol. 3, p. 155, pi. 28 i). — innotata Failla-Ted. is now illustrated (19 e), ground colour, 
schawerdae. especially of $ is much deeper orange. — schawerdae Slander is ashy grey instead of yellowy markings are only 
very faintly indicated, body is pale yellow-grey. Described from Trieste. 
C. vulpecida Led. (Vol. 3, p. 155, pi. 28 f) should be removed from here, as according to Filipjev it 
belongs among the Luperina near jerrago Ev. 
citrago. C. citrago L. (Vol. 3, p. 155). We are illustrating the typical form (19 e), as it w r as omitted from Main 
subflava. Volume. —• subflava Ev. (19 e). We are also illustrating this pretty and apparently very rare form. — umbrata 
umbrata. jj e i nr only has the central transverse stripe shaded outwardly to the extent of 1 mm, whilst in —- fasciata 
TClSClClta ^ a «y 
signata'. Gronbl. the entire area between the central shade and the posterior transverse line appears shaded with brown. 
Finland. — signata Kruger resembles subflava, but has not the brown basal area of same. On the other hand it 
apennina. has a bold brown claviform stigma. —- apennina Dhl. is uniformly pale dull yellow like incolorata Warr., but 
the veins and lines are distinctly brown and the stigmata finely outlined. Hindwings and abdomen ivory white. 
This is the race from the Abruzzi. 
japonago. C. japonago Wilem. & West (19 e) is very close to citrago and was described as a subspecies of same. 
However the genitalia are different and the <$ antennae are serrate and ciliate. Forewdngs reddish yellowy be¬ 
strewn with orange. The subbasal and anterior transverse lines are orange, the latter is sharply angulated, 
stigmata finely outlined in orange, the oblique central shade is blackish brown. The posterior transverse line 
is delicate, black-brown, similarly the fringes at inner and outer margins. Hindwings are pale reddish yellowy 
veins and inner margin incline to yellowish red. Wing expanse: 36 mm. Hokkaido. 
Subfamily: Amphipyrinae. 
Hampson first named this subfamily Acronyctinae, whilst now it is re-named Zenobiinae after Zenobia 
Oken (= Dicycla Guen.) with oo L. as type. 
2. Genus: J*yrois Hbn. 
galliea. P- effusa Bsd. (Vol. 3, p. 157, pi. 38 a). — gallica Schaw. is a dark race from Corsica and S. France. 
The forewings are very dusky black-brown, the 3 stigmata are pale and contrast sharply. 
3. Genus: Ampliipyra Tr. 
fusca. A. pyramidea L. (Vol. 3, p. 158, pi. 38 a). —- fusca Rocci denotes a dark dusky blackish specimen with 
diffuse markings. Described from Piedmont, but certainly only aberrative. There is probably scarcely any 
obscura. difference between same and — obscura Obth. which is also applied to dusky dark specimens. — melaleuca Lenz 
melaleucd. has grey-black forewings with narrow white transverse lines, of which especially the subterminal stands out 
particularly clearly. Probably this is a transition to the form albisquama Warr. mentioned in Main Volume. 
pallida. — pallida Lamb, has pale ashy grey forewings on which the transverse lines appear marked by whitish grey, 
also the orbicular stigma is outlined by grey-white, the central band is not more prominently dark. Belgium,
