COENOBIA; NONAGRIA; ORIA; ARGYROSPILA; SESAMIA. By Dr. M. Drattdt. 
sparganoi- A. sparganoides 0. B.-H. Body and forewings yellow-grey, the latter with separated marginal dots. 
des. In place of the posterior transverse line there is a row of delicate black dots on veins. Two blackish longi¬ 
tudinal streaks extend through the disc. Hindwings blackish as far as an arched black line beyond centre. 
Wing expanse: 27 mm. From 1 $ from S. Ussuri (Sutshansk). 
brunneo- A. algae Esp. (Vol. 3, p. 238, pi. 49 k). — brunneo-ochrascens Strd. has pale forewings dusted with pale 
ochrascens. ochreous brownish. 
112. Genus: Cloenobia Steph. 
rufa. C. tufa Haw. (Vol. 3, p. 238). We are illustrating the usual northern german type (22 f); ruja is the 
despecta. rufous form. — despecta Tr. should be removed from the synonyms, it is a more brownish form with paler 
lineola. hindwings. — liiieola Steph. is reddish grey with a brown streak on mediana, the illustration was not satis- 
fusca. factory. — fusca Bankes (= rubicundipennis Strd.) has dark brownish black forewings with very faint reddish 
suffusion and dark grey hindwings slightly paler at base. From England. 
stigmatica. C. stigmatica Ev. (Vol. 3, p. 238, pi. 48 e). The illustration was unrecognisable. A fresh one is given 
here (22 f). 
113. Genus: Ufonagrta Tr. 
N. maritima Tausch. (Vol. 3, p. 238, pi. 48 e). —- anella Steph. is not synonymous with maritima (Type), 
combinata. but with hipunctata Haw. —- combinata Edelst. is a combination of the hipunctata form with nigristriata. — 
spormanni. spormanni Heydem. fairly closely resembles combinata but has a much more silvery grey, only faintly brownish 
conjuncta. ground colour w'hilst combinata has a more reddish hue. — conjuncta Rangn. is an interesting form, in which 
grisea. the 2 dots of hipunctata are widely conjoined by black at lower edge. From Berlin. — - grisea Wgnr. is a much 
paler and purer grey subspecies from Anatolia (Akshehir). 
obscura. N. obscura Wilem. is dark grey-brown on head and thorax, abdomen greyer. Forewings grey-brown 
with faint bluish grey suffusion, the veins distinctly prominent, especially the mediana with tw r o black dots 
between 2 and 4. Hindwings grey-brown. Wing expanse: 30 mm. Hondo (Yoshino) in July. 
114. Genus: Oria Hbn. 
musculosa. 0* musculosa Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 239, pi. 48 f). The illustration was poor, nothing is visible of the paler 
olivina. markings. A better illustration is now given here (22 f). —- olivina Alph. has olive-yellowish longitudinal streaks 
dirini. on deep olive-grey ground colour. — - dirini Alph. has a bright rusty brown ground with ivory-white longitudinal 
streaks. Both described from S. E. Russia (Crimea). 
lajonquie- 0. myodea Rrnbr. (Vol. 3, p. 239, pi. 48 f). — lajonquierei 0. B.-H. (22 g) is of paler colouration on upper- 
rei - side of thorax and forewings, brownish yellow, the veins are prominently dark. The submedian fold crosses 
a blackish streak, above which the ground colour appears strikingly paler. Hindwings white. Described from 
S. E. France, Gironde; May and June. 
115. Genus: Argyrospila H.-S. 
striata. A. striata Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 248, pi. 51a) is mistaken by Warren and many other authors to be the 
same as Timora albida Hmps., which although similar, is widely different. The illustration was poor and seems 
to more closely resemble the said albida. Afresh illustration is given here (22 f). Thorax white, abdomen brown¬ 
ish yellow. Forewings yellowish olive-grey, costa, inner margin and extremities of veins white. There is a 
long wide white band through the cell that is bifurcated at end of cell and extends on veins 3, 4 and 6, 7 to the 
margin. The submedian fold is also widely white. Hindwings white, faintly dusky towards margin. See also 
p. 197. 
succinea. A. succinea Esp. (Vol. 3, p. 239, pi. 48 f). The illustration was too dark and not representative. A 
better illustration is now given (22 g). The species has meanwhile been found to occur in Anatolia (Akshehir). 
116. Genus: Sesamia Guen. 
calamistis. S. calamistis Hmps. (Vol. 15, p. 97, pi. 10 i). This species, which is dealt with in the African Volume, 
occurring in S. Africa, is reported by Rothschild to occur in Algeria in September. It differs from vuteria 
Stoll. (Vol. 3, p. 240, pi. 48 f) to which it is closely related, having similarly constructed antennae, by the pure 
ochreous yellow ground colour. This is devoid of any reddish tone and is much more heavily dusted with black. 
Besides there is a black dot on the submedian fold before the centre and a further black dot occurs with the 
discal spot on the discai fold posterior to close of cell. Wing expanse: 36 mm. 
rufescens. S. cretica Led. (Vol. 3, p. 240, pi. 48 g). — rufescens Schaiv. is a form that is suffused with reddish brown; 
from Herzegowina.
