terminal lines pale yellow with black edges. There is a yellow streak through the reniform stigma to outer 
obscura. transverse stripe. Zermatt. — obscura WeJirli are completely grey-black specimens without any brownish hue 
infuscata. and scarcely visible paler transverse lines. — infuscata ScTiwing. is probably the same. The specimens are suf¬ 
fused by black and markings are barely discernible. Only reniform stigma is apparent with faint whitish sur¬ 
round. Salzburg. 
ingloria. C. ingloria A. B.-H. (19 1) is smaller and has wider wings than maillardi, colouration varies from blackish 
ashen grey to olive yellow, markings obscure. Transverse stripes scarcely paler with black edges on inner sides, 
the outer one dentate with black dots at points. Subterminal line somewhat paler with small sagittate marks 
anteriorly. Orbicular and reniform stigmata with paler centres. Hindwings monotonously grey-blackish with 
pale central line; fringes yellowish grey with paler tips. Wing expanse: 39—42 mm. Sajan territory. 
furva. C. flirva Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 177, pi. 41 f). sylvicola Ev. should be removed from here, as it belongs to 
nictitans. rubrirena. — nictitans Lenz are specimens with prominent pale reniform stigma. Described from S. Bavaria. 
italica. — italics Trti. <£■ Ver. (19 k) are very large specimens of pure brown ground colour and very distinct, narrow 
yellowish markings, that contrast sharply. Hindwings paler in disc, marginal band more diffuse but darker. 
Such specimens approach freyeri Err. Italy. 
vicaria. C. vicaria Pglr. (Vol. 3, p. 186, pi. 43 f). This was classified under Luperina in Main Volume, in which 
Hampson concurred. According to specimens before me, which emanate from Pungeler himself, it should 
certainly be placed here in the vicinity of maillardi. Covering of thorax, the crests on abdomen etc. all coincide. 
The illustration was bad, we are giving a fresh one here (191). Perhaps P. xylinoides enumerated on p. 158 
wordd also best be placed here. 
rubrirena. C. rubrirena Tr. (Vol. 3, p. 177, pi. 41 g). Gitth has latterly specialised in this species and its interesting 
group of forms. The type is the black-brown form with somewhat rufous central area. It has black transverse 
lines with slightly paler edges and red-brown stigmata. Reniform stigma somewhat dusted with yellowish, 
frequently with a pale brown streak to postmedian and yellowish subterminal line. We are giving a better 
plottneri. illustration of this nice species (19 1) as the old one was unsatisfactory. — plottnerl Hannem. appears to me to 
be the same as type, but from the very scant description it would seem that the pale central bands are extinct. 
hercyniae. Described from the Upper Harz. — - hercyniae Stgr. is another form from the same locality with brown ground 
colour and whitish reniform stigma. Transverse lines edged with white and a similar subterminal line. We 
abnoba. are illustrating a typical specimen of this form (191). —- afonoba GutE (191) the fine form from the northern 
Black Forest, especially from around Pforzheim, with deep black colour and very wide pure wdiite fascia and 
intermedia, stigmata, as well as white marginal area. — - intermedia Gutln the variable intermediary forms from the Harz 
fennica. mountains and southern Black Forest. —- fenrska Gutln has chestnut-brown forewings; basal area admixed with 
grey; the black transverse lines with whitish edges on averted sides. Orbicular stigma yellow-brown, reniform 
stigma pale yellow, subterminal line brownish grey with darker inner edge. A variegated form from Kuusamo. 
sylvicola. — sylvicola Ev. (Vol. 3, p. 177, under “furva”) is a large form from the Urals (Spasskoje), compared as to colour¬ 
ation with brassicae and glauca. It is grey-black, interspersed with paler grey; blackish transverse lines with 
whitish edges. Stigmata whitish almost devoid of brown shades. To be added to the localities is Upper Italy 
(Valdieri). The larva resembles that of P. lithoxylea and it feeds in the roots of Calamagrostis silvatica. 
shibuyae. C. shibuyae Mats, is compared with rubrirena, but is much paler, reniform stigma smaller. Forewings 
brown, the anterior undulate transverse line is black with pale grey inner edge: the anterior line is double, black 
intertilled with grey. The round orbicular stigma is pale grey with brown centre. The longisli reniform stigma 
is pale grey with black central streak. Claviform stigma small, dark with pale grey centre. Subterminal line 
pale grey and sharply dentate. A paler patch at apex and small black marginal dots. Hindwings grey with 
2 darker transverse lines. Wing expanse: 45—46 mm. Saghalin. 
15. Gattung-: Sidemia Stgr. 
depravata. S. depravata Btlr. (Vol. 3, p. 178, pi. 41 g, h). Here we must add as synonym: — rasdolnia Stgr. for 
which the Genus: Rusidrina Stgr. was created. 
inter- S. zollikoferi Err. (Vol. 3. p. 178, pi. 41 h). — uralensis Strd. is synonymous with internigrata Warr. 
mgr at a. p» ( qh names refer to Hampson’s “ab. 1” and Strand’s assumption that his form differed from that of Warren 
by the pale apex and anal area, was incorrect. It is especially stated in Warren's original description that the 
blackening of the forewing only applied to the area between the submedian and subcostal nervures. I have 
now before me a specimen of zollikoferi also from Esthland. 
pungeleri. S. piingeleri Schaw. (= albipuncta 0. B.-H .) (20 a). This was described as a Phragmatiphila but in 
my opinion should be placed next to zollikoferi, even though hitherto only $9 are known. Fore wings monotonous
