signata Strd., — perversa Strd. (■ lucilla Hmps.). Butler’s type, which was described by Hampson as “ab. 2” perversa. 
of lucilla, has a large white spot in the outer half of reniform stigma. Besides the entire postmedian area, with 
the exception of the costal area, is dusted with white. The form that Hampson described as lucilla, which 
appears to be identical with Warren’s description, does not seem to be the genuine lucilla. For this reason 
Strand gave this form the denomination: perversa. — putealis Mats, is somewhat smaller, has white orbicular putealis.

ensis Mats. The orbicular stigma is obsolescent, reniform stigma snow-white. Transverse lines are almost 
extinct, only slightly visible and darker below mediana. Hindwings with oval yellowish patch in disc with 
indistinct discal spot therein. Hokkaido (Sapporo). —- inornata Mats, is very like jezoensis, but reniform stigma inornata. 
is not white. Hokkaido. 
T. cinerascens Btlr. (Vol. 3, p. 199, pi. 44 i) — sachalinensis Mats, has a thick black bar between the sacha-

also smaller. —- provincialis Culot. are very distinctly marked specimens with contrasting colouration, black provin-

There is a reddish brown admixture in and behind the reniform stigma, as well as posterior to subterminal 
line. These brightly marked specimens emanate from Digne. —- iberica Culot is a doubtful form, inclining to- iberica. 
wards amathusia. It is relatively small, hindwings pale, impure straw-yellow, forewings with paler veins, a pale 
posterior transverse line, the anterior line having two very sharp dentations. Ground colour brown with paler 
patches and a pale streak before apex. From Spain. 
T. amathusia Rmbr. (Vol. 3, p. 200, pi. 44 k) is certainly a genuine species. The illustration given by amathusia. 
Culot however is certainly due to some misconception, as it only represents a form of matura. The anterior 
transverse line certainly shows a very sharp dentation projecting outwards above the inner margin, somewhat 
as in vitalba, subterminal line is almost completely absent and the illustration requires further elucidation. 
48. Genus: Jambia Wkr. 
J. nigella Hmps. Thorax black-brown, abdomen whitish, suffused with brown, with black basal tuft, nigella. 
Forewings black-brown, dusted with olive-grey. Transverse lines double, black, consisting of widely separated 
fascia; there is a pale patch beyond the anterior line, then follows a darker shade. The stigmata have pale 
blackish surrounds and with dark central dots, the reniform stigma is constricted. Subterminal line brownish 
white. Hindwings pale reddish brown with whitish fringes and brown basal line. Wing expanse: 24 mm. 
Central China, Hupeh province. In an aberrative specimen the oblique pale patch behind the antemedian is 
white, somewhat speckled with brown. 
49. Genus: Bryolenea Hmps. 
trilinea B. Baker (Vol. 3, p. 200, pi. 48 b) that belongs here, was dealt with under the Bryophilinae 
on p. 22 of the Supplement.

C. olethria Wilem. & West is very close to C. albipuncta Hmps. that is described in Vol. 11. p. 44 and olethria. 
illustrated on pi. 4 h. Actually the latter also occurs in palaearctic territory in W. China, olethria is to be 
classified immediately after fodinae Obth. (Vol. 3, p. 200, pi. 44 k). Body sandy brownish with darker ad¬ 
mixture. Forewings similarly coloured with a large black-brown spot in basal half that extends on costa to 
anterior transverse line, obliquely from costa to median fold, thence parallel with inner margin to posterior 
line. From there downwards to inner margin, behind the cell with quadrate white patch. Orbicular and reni¬ 
form stigmata with delicate black-brown circumscriptions. Above same on costa there is a triangular black- 
brown spot, the point of which tmiches the orbicular stigma. The postmedian line is delicately black-brown. 
The subterminal area is black-brown like the hindwings. Wing expanse: 24 mm. Japan (Shikoku).
