verse lines; the anterior line extends from 1st third of costa commencing there in a dark spot, proceeding firstly 
in a wide, flat curve which turns outwards, then almost vertically to inner margin. The posterior line com¬ 
mences above the reniform stigma, also at a deeply black dot, circumvents the stigma in a semicircle and then 
proceeds straightly to inner margin; it is much less undulate than in velox. The subterminal line is pale, obtusely 
dentate, edged on its inner side by a wide dark shade. On the margin there are delicate dark striations. On 
costa towards the apex are 4 white costal dashes. Hindwings unicolourous, indistinctly paler in basal and 
central areas. Fringes pale dull yellow. Wing expanse: 21 mm. Taurus. 
L. dardouini B.sd. (Vol. 3, p. 260, pi. 51 b). — dilutior Schwing. is a much paler local form from Dal¬ 
matia. — mala Strd. has the shade before the subterminal line on forewings coloured red. From the Medi¬ 
terranean. 
6. Genus: JEisbleiiiiiia Him. 
E. arcuinna Him. (Vol. 3, p. 261, pi. 51 c). — rubellina Scfiaw. denotes specimens more heavily flushed 
with reddish. From around Vienna. 
E. suava Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 262, pi. 51 c). ■—- virilis Strd. denotes a form that is rather more grey on fore¬ 
wings. 
E. spirogramma Rbl. reminds one of C. scitula, but is nevertheless very different. Forewdngs snow- 
white with 2 blue-black costal spots in subbasal region. The outer one indicates the commencement of an an¬ 
terior transverse band, of which only fractional traces are visible; the posterior transverse line forms a semi¬ 
circle outwards in the centre, it has a narrow snow-white edge and it circumvents a large black and steely blue 
scaled spot that expands anteriorly to a large almost triangular costal spot. Its base extends from centre of 
costa almost to the apex. The postmedian has a somewhat brownish outer edge. Marginal area is white, grey 
dusted patches in antemarginal area. Fringes blue-grey. Hindwings white, brownish at margin, with darker 
central line and 3 lines situate in the dusky marginal area. Wing expanse: 17 mm. Mokattam mountains near 
Cairo, in November. 
E. geyri Rothsch. should possibly be classified here near spirogramma. Antennae brown, except the 
shaft, which is white on upperside. Head and collar violet-brown, thorax and abdomen yellowish pink. Fore¬ 
wings pinky yellowish white with a large round black postmedian spot with dull greenish grey centre. Posterior 
to same a boldly undulate grey-blue postdiscal band. Margin and fringes are widely violet-brown. Hindwings 
yellowish white with delicate deep brown marginal line. Wing expanse: 14 mm. Algeria (Talii bout) in April. 
The sjjecies w r as denominated from 3 
E. kuelekana Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 262, pi. 51 d). The illustration w r as bad. We are giving a better one here 
(22 k) from a specimen captured at Akshehir. 
7. Genus: Calyiiiina Hbn. 
C. communimacula Schiff. (Vol. 3, p. 262, pi. 51 d). •— cinnamomea Trti. denotes a much paler, very 
light pinky form, the brownish marginal shade much fainter, narrower and fading away entirely towards the 
anal angle. The brown innermarginal spot is a pale cinnamon-brownish. Abruzzi. — gracilis Ostli. is similar, 
hut much smaller. Wing contour is somewhat narrower, body sleeker. Forewings paler, more yellowish in 
basal and central areas, the brown innermarginal spot is narrower. Taurus (Marasli) in May and June. 
8. Genus: Cocci<liphaga Spul. 
C. scitula Rbr. (Vol. 3, p. 262, pi. 51 d). — nitidula Dhl. (23 a). This is an almost white form in which 
the wide leaden grey shade in central area is completely absent. There is only a black central dot in the place 
of the reniform stigma. Anterior to same there is an indication of a costal spot with a few r dots at apex. Hind¬ 
wings are only slightly dusky at margin. Tivoli, Campagna. The name will probably have to be withdrawn 
should — virginalis Ragusa, which was described earlier from Sicily, prove to be identical. This is also a very 
small form with pure wfiite wings with scarcely any markings. 
10. Genus: I'orpliyi’inia Hbn. 
P. parva Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 263, pi. 51 d). — fumosa Wgnr. is a very dusky smoky brown rubefacta form 
from S. Dalmatia. — lactescens Trti. in contrast thereto is a pure white form, the markings indicated in cin¬ 
namon-brown. Berea, Cyrenaica in October. 
P. ostrina Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 263, pi. 51 d). — straniinea Rbl. has straw r coloured forewings devoid of mark¬ 
ings with faintly brownish subdivided apex and black dots thereunder. 
P. pseudostrina Rolhsch. denominated from a single $, looks like ostrina-carthami, but can be distin¬ 
guished immediately by the sooty grey fringes and similar apex. It differs further from carthami by the dark
