area. Hungary. 
A. molybdea Chr. (Vol. 3, p. 160, pi. 39 c). According to Osthelder, who has repeatedly received the molybdea. 
species from Marash, it is certainly a genuine species. It is much smaller and has narrower wings than micans 
with more pointed apex. Forewings pale grey-brown, heavily admixed with whitish, especially in basal and 
postmedian areas. The transverse lines are more sharply dentate, without black sagittate marks in marginal 
area. Hindwings grey-white with pure white fringes. Occurs simultaneously next to micans. 
A. satinea Roug. The Genus Neocomia was created for this species owing to the palpi being scaled to satinea. 
tip. It has short and wide forewings; they are dark red-brownish with violet sheen and 2 black transverse lines 
that are with pale outlines and which converge towards the inner margin. They thus enclose a narrow central 
area, in which the small 8-shaped reniform stigma is situate which has a double black centre. The indistinct 
subterminal line is pale with darker inner edge. Hindwings grey-black with reddish gloss. Underside violet- 
grey with 2 dark curved postmedian lines that are parallel to margin. Length of forewings: 14 mm. Only 2 
specimens are known, which were captured at light at Neuchatel in 1898. It is still questionable, whether this 
is a genuine species and it is remarkable that since the first captures nothing has ever been heard again of this 
species.
