placodoides. E. placodoides Guen. ( doleschalli Fldr.) should be placed before juventina Cr. (Vol. 3, p. 194, pi. 44 d). 
This species that is widely distributed over the indo-australian territory and described and illustrated in 
Vol. 11, p. 160, pi. 19 b, also occurs in Japan on palaearctic territory. 
flavorosea. E. juventina Cr. (Vol. 3, p. 194, pi. 44 d) — flavorosea Dhl. is paler rose, also the yellow spots are paler 
s rdinkoana. and more extensive. Sabine mountains. —- ab. srdinkoana Joukl is a somewhat more variedly marked aber¬ 
ration, in which the usual rose transverse bands and veins appear white. Described from Vienna and scarcely 
worthy of denomination. 
japonibia. E. rivularis Wkr. (Vol. 3, p. 194, pi. 44 d) — - japonibia Strd. denotes the redder specimens from Japan 
that were mentioned in the Main Volume (= ab. 1 Hmps.). 
ierlana. E. latreillei Dap. (Vol. 3, p. 195, pi. 44 f) -— terlana DM. is a rare form from the S. Tyrol in which 
anfhracita. the diseal area is widely white. — anthracita Wgnr. differs from normal specimens by the jet-black colouration 
of forewings, that in the $ obscures all markings except for the dots on costa, the indications of a subterminal 
line at apex and a pale dot at base. S. Dalmatia (Gravosa).

virgo. C. virgo Tr. (Vol. 3, p. 196, pi. 44 f) has now also been discovered at Lugano. —- ilonkae Diosz. differs 
ilonkae. f rom type by the rosy-violet forewings; base of antennae, tips of palpi, thorax and hindwings are violet-red, 
rosconitens. Hungary (Comitat Arad). — roseonitens Shelj. is a form described from Transcaucasia. It is intensively suf¬ 
fused with rose, the pale transverse lines are narrower and with distinct dark edges. Hindwings yellow-grey, 
similarly the fringes. From around Batoum, June—August. 
44. Genus: Auclia Wkr. 
variegata. A. variegata Obth. (Vol. 3, p. 197, pi. 44 g). Meanwhile it has been definitely ascertained that jlavo- 
luteotincta. maculata Obth. is the <$ f° the $ variegata. — luteotincta Strd. has yellowish forewings with brown instead of 
flava. rufous markings. Amur. — flava Warn. (= evanida Pglr. i. 1. ?) (20 i) is an extreme form of the preceding, 
yellow, devoid of all spots and markings except for a grey shade in the upper half of outer margin. Hindwings 
duller black. Amur.

graslini. P. xanthochloris Bsd. (Vol. 3, p. 197, pi. 44 g) — graslini Culot (20 k) is a large but rather narrow 
winged form found in Castile, Sicily and Algeria. It has dusky ground colour with a richer admixture of green, 
especially in basal area and at inner margin in central area. The space before the subterminal line is somewhat 
more dusky blackish. Hindwings are a rather more reddish yellow. 
prospicua. P. sericata Esp. (Vol. 3, p. 198, pi. 44 g) — prospicua Bkh. (nec Hbn.) (= ratisbonensis MetscM) should 
be removed from the synonyms. It is the fine south german form, that Borkhausen obtained from Scriba. 
It is only slightly darker than mediolucens Fuchs, ratisbonensis appears somewhat darker and fresher because 
medio- it was based on bred specimens. We are illustrating prospicua (20 k). — niediofuliginosa DM. is the counter - 
fuliginoso. p ar t to the preceding form. Basal and discal areas are heavily black, especially towards inner margin where 
wide black patches are formed, only the outer margin is pale. The anterior transverse line is quite absent, 
melano- the outer line is dark grey. 8. Tyrol. -— melartochrata Fdz. is a small Spanish form with very dark forewings
