transverse line are pure white. Costal and marginal areas on underside are dusted with lilac-grey. Hindwings 
pale with heavy black discal spot, postmedian and subterminal bands. Szechuan. 
H. erentita A. B.-II. (21 k). Forewings wide with pointed apex and oblique margin, uniformly reddish 
violet, partially dusted with brown. Both transverse lines are irregularly dentate, dark with paler edges on 
averted sides. Subterminal line, which forms 2 arcs, is faintly paler. Orbicular and reniform stigmata are 
slightly paler, the former small, the latter often diffuse. Marginal line is light and distinctly drawn. Extrem¬ 
ities of fringes are darker than the ground colour. Hindwings grey-black with faint tinge of reddish. Fringes 
paler. — decolorata A. B.-H. is a darker ashen grey form. Wing expanse: 28—30 mm. From Gann (Peter 
the Great mountains), beginning to mid June. The species had best be placed after chinensis Wllgr. (Vol. 3, 
p. 221, p. 47 b). 
H. lutosa Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 221). This species was not illustrated in the Main Volume and we are now 
giving an illustration (21 1). — taurus Strd. denotes the greyer specimens from the Taurus that are suffused 
with fuscous and which were already mentioned by Warren. Turner appears to have erroneously placed 
this form to Rhizedra lutosa Him. 
H. viscosa Frr. (Vol. 3, p. 221, pi. 47 b) —- persicola Strd. is more ochreous or grey bestrewn with 
brownish, scarcely tinged with reddish. Both transverse lines of forewing are more distinct, the anterior one 
is angulated twice at submedian and near inner margin. Between the stigmata there is a darker patch. Pers¬ 
ian Gulf. 
86a. Genus: Marascliia Osth. 
Proboscis boldly developed, palpi short and wide, straightly porrect with bushy hairs. Frons smooth, 
a short spine in centre in <J. Antennae boldly ciliate in more weakly in $. Thorax with coarse hairs and 
scales, abdomen similarly. Forewings wide with truncate apex and uniformly curved margin. $ with project¬ 
ing ovipositor. Differing from the closely related Hadjina by the shorter palpi and from the similar Ipimorpha 
which has a purely hairy thorax. Only 1 species: 
M. grisescerss Osth. (21 1). Forewings grey-white, distally bestrewn with grey-black scales. Basal area 
very wide, edged outwardly by a simple reddish black line, that extends from the proximal third of costa in 
a number of arcs to centre of inner margin, forming 2 sharply pointed dentations in its lower part, that point 
towards the base. Central area somewhat dusted with reddish, edged outwardly by the simple, sinuate post- 
median line, that has a pale outer edge. Orbicular stigma very large, distally yellowish with blackish surround. 
Reniform stigma darker grey with similar circumscription to orbicular. The space between the stigmata is 
darker rufous. Subterminal line pale, dentate with blackish spots anteriorly between the veins. Hindwings 
whitish with darkly dusted veins and blackish marginal line. The ^ is much more indistinctly marked, hind¬ 
wings dusted with grey. Wing expanse: 35, $ 38 mm. Taurus (Marasli) in August—September. 
88. Genus: Catamecia Stgr. 
C. deceptrix Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 222, pi. 47 c [not d!]). The illustration was a poor copy. A better one 
is given here (21 1). 
C. jordana Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 222) is now illustrated (21 1). — mauretanica Stgr. (= aeton Culot as syn¬ 
onym) is perhaps a genuine species. — balestrei D. Luc. (21 1) resembles mauretanica in appearance, forewings 
pale grey with distinctly white orbicular and reniform stigmata, also the subterminal area is whitish. Nefta, 
Kebili, from March to June and again in September—October. 
C. contrita Chr. (Vol. 3, p. 222, pi. 47 c [not a!]). The illustration was poor, a better picture is now 
given here (21 1). According to Pungeler this species would better be classified in the Genus Xylomoia. 
C. bryophiloides Rothsch. I have not seen this species and cannot say whether same should be placed 
here. Head and thorax pale grey-brown, abdomen paler and more yellowish. Forewings ashen grey, the central 
area with darker slate grey outlines. Outer transverse line extends to apex, whilst the two lines approximate 
closely at inner margin. Subterminal area pale grey. Hindwings silvery grey-white, dusky at margin, greyer 
in Wing expanse: 27—29 mm. Algeria in August—September. 
89. Genus: Nauiangaoia Stgr. 
N. chimaera Rothsch. This species differs considerably and its generic classification is open to doubt. 
The S is monotonous brownish grey with silky gloss. Forewings slightly peppered with black, rather more 
heavily so in basal fifth. An oblique faint black line extends from vein l in the direction of apex to vein 5. 
Subterminally there is a row of small indistinct black spots between vein 4 and inner margin. Wing expanse: 
31 mm. Morocco in July. This species should be placed at end of the Genns.
