L. larentioides Strd. resembles the indian larentiformis Hmps. from Sikkim. Forewings black-brown, larentioidrs. 
intermixed with fuscous and grey. In marginal area violet-grey, edged inwardly with a whitish grey almost 
straight transverse line. At vein 6 it forms a rectangular bend. Below vein 4 with a black dot placed near the 
margin. The anterior transverse line is black with ochreous and white inner edge, creating the impression of 
a pale oblique transverse band. The large grey reniform stigma diffuses along the costa almost to the base. 
Orbicular stigma grey, postmeclian line double intertilled with ochre. Hindwings grey-brown. Length of fore¬ 
wings: 13 mm. Japan (Karapin). 
L. martjanovi Tschetv. (not Tschstr.\) (Vol. 3, p. 279). We are now in a position to give a good illus- martja- 
tration of this strange species (23 a). novi. 
L. blandula Stgr. (23 a) was omitted from Main Volume. Staudinger created the Genus Brpophilina blandulu. 
for it, but from the type before me, I can find no radical difference from Lithacodia and I am therefore classi¬ 
fying the species lieie. It does not differ so very much from related species, especially from mollicula ( = mollis 
Graes.). Forewings brown intermixed with bluish grey at centre of inner margin and towards the outer margin. 
At end of cell and in postmedian region the predominant colour is white. Transverse lines indistinct, the pos¬ 
terior one dentate. Orbicular and reniform stigmata with black circumscriptions, from the former a short double 
black streak, intertilled with white, extends to a bold double central line, that is situate vertically to inner 
margin. There are a number of small white dashes subapically on costa, the apex itself is divided by a faint 
whitish streak. There are blackish striated dots before and behind the subterminal line, which is only barely 
indicated. Hindwings reddish brown. Head and thorax white, the latter suffused with bluish grey, collar 
fuscous, abdomen brownish. 
28a. Genus: Cloelites Trti. 
A remarkable Genus, that does not seem to fit in anywhere correctly. Turati bases himself on the 
opinion of the Abbe Joannis, who stated it was an Erastrianid, although according to the sketch, the neu- 
ration is completely unusual and shows no relationship whatever to any other Genus. Frons with triple pointed 
black-brown chitinous projection. Palpi short, projecting slightly, densely covered with short hairs. Antennae 
bipectinate. Abdomen short, not extending beyond anal angle. Forewings with slightly rounded apex, cell 
open, with furcated discal fold. Vein 1 with a bladder-like, obliquely grooved protuberance at base; 3, 4 and 5 
arise closely together from the lower angle of cell, 6 arises from below the upper angle, 7 and 8 on a long stalk 
somewhat anteriorly, 9 and 10 similarly stalked, a good bit anteriorly; 11 anastomoses with the costalis, but 
emits a small short branch that does not extend as far as the costa. Hindwings narrow and long with some¬ 
what indented costa; 3, 4 and 6, 7 on long stalks, 5 arising from centre of disco-cellular, 8 near centre of cell. 
Nothing is said in the original description in regard to the structure of the legs. Only 1 species: 
C. patanei Trti. (23 b). Forewings mother-of-pearl grey, sparsely and finely dusted with black, be- patanci. 
coming increasingly dusky brownish in outer third. Anterior transverse line indicated by a dark brown streak 
on costa, postmedian by 2 similar short striated dots one below another. A heavy dark brown central line 
extends from ccsta to inner margin having an obtuse angled bend at close of cell. Brown internerval dots at 
outer margin. Fringes with white basal line, extremities brown. Hindwings pale yellowish brown, paler towards 
base, with dark central shade and whitish fringes. Wing expanse: 30 mm. From 2 from Benghasi (Cyrenaica).

fine silvery white line is left. S. Tyrol, also occurring in the upper bavarian moors. 
E. olivana Schiff. (Vol. 3, p. 280, pi. 52 e). — nigrosparsata Ostli. are specimens in which the silvery nigrospar- 
wliite bands are heavily suffused with black. — iiowickii Schille is only blackish yellow-brown in basal and sala -

White ground colour without reddish tone and powdered with grey, the black markings darker and mere ex¬ 
tensive, also hindwings are darker. Described from Wiatka and Kasan.
