A. tirhaca Cr. (Vol. 3, p. 327, pi. 60 f). — jaderensis Stdr. is synonymous with the form absents Warr. jaderevs 
Black band of hindwings completely absent; forewings white or whitish grey with only sparse greenish ad¬ 
mixture, so that they appear covered with mildew. Hindwings however deep yellow. Tivoli. Torbole. 
21. Genus: OpihiiBssi O. 
O , algira L. (Vol. 3, p. 329, pi. 61 b). A number of aberrations of this pretty species have been described: 
algiroides 0. Schultz has a quite dusky pale median band, whilst in leucotaenia Did. it appears almost algiroides. 
white, also marginal area is paler whitish. — triquetra Wgnr. (= leptotaenia Dhl.) denotes specimens with band 
sharply constricted or even completely interrupted in centre. - seleftitaenia DM. are specimens of this latter sellmitoniia. 
form with a subterminal row of dark angular or crescentiform marks pointing inwards. These, connecting 
with the dark apical marks, form a band right across the wing, like the illustration of albivitta in Main Volume, 
pi. 61 b. All these forms are from the S. Tyrol. — defecta Stdr. The diffuse whitish median band on upperside dejecta. 
of hindwings is almost or completely extinct. From Illyria (Gorizia). — europa Schaiv. (= algira Warr.) is the euro-pa. 
european form, which Warren classified with the type. This was not correct, the actual type from Syria is 
much larger, black-brown with pale brown, almost whitish median band; the european form is smaller, darker 
with a more pale mauve-grey median band and margin. 
A. melicerta Drc. (= tigrina Fabr., traversi Fereday). This species, that is widely distributed in the melicerta. 
entire indo-autralian territory, extends in the west to the Persian Gulf and occurs in Japan on palaearctic 
ground. Forewings fuscous, dusted with grey especially in median area and on margin below apex. Dark fus¬ 
cous double undulate transverse lines. Reniform stigma with black dot at top and whitish circumscription. 
Hindwings grey-brown to a straight bluish white band, that extends from centre of costa to anal angle, beyond 
this black with 3 large white marginal patches. Wing expanse: 52—70 mm. — The grey-blue larva has yellow 
stripes and a black dorsal stripe, flanked by reddish white spots on 4th and 5th segments, ft feeds on the Castor 
plant (Ricinus). 
23. Genus: €*ramino<l®$ Guen. 
G. rogenhoferi Bhtsch. (= mirabilis Rom., triangulata Swinh.) (23 e). This beautiful species was omitted rogenhoferi. 
from Main Volume. It cannot be confused with any other species. Forewings grey-brown with faint coppery 
sheen and a straight white median band, that expands at costa and inner margin and is speckled with brown 
in centre. A posterior white transverse line extending from costa to the white subterminal somewhat below 
vein 4, then becoming angulated and proceeding to inner margin close to median band. Marginal veins finely 
streaked with white. Also margin is narrowly white. Hindwings grey-brown with narrow, oblique white band 
from centre of costa to anal angle and a crenulate white line from vein 3 to anal angle. Palestine, Syria, Armenia. 
G. stolida F. (Vol. 3, p. 331, pi. 61 f). — ineompleta Buresch. The inner white transverse band on fore- incompleta. 
wings is completely absent. Described from the Rhodope mountains. 
25. Genus: l®elamia Guen. 
P. electaria Brem. (Vol. 3, p. 332, pi. 61 f.). — electariella Strd. The black submedian streak is absent electariella. 
on forewings or is only diffusedly indicated. Probably only an aberration. East Asia. 
28. Genus: Ercheia Wlcr. 
E. umbrosa Btlr. (Vol. 3, p. 335, pi. 61 h). — umbrosana Strd. The inner marginal and marginal areas umbrosana. 
are not pale brown, but of the same colour as ground colour of wdng. Paler streaks in interstices between the 
veins in marginal area. — subunibrosa Strd. is similar but the forewings are more of a grey-browm with a diffuse subumbrosa. 
black longitudinal submedian streak and a similar short white streak before the postmedian. — prominens Strd. 
is synonymous with variegata Warr. variegata. 
33. Genus: Clytle Hbn. 
Cl. scotorrhiza Pimps. (Pglr. i. 1.) (23 e) differs from all other species by an indented black basal streak scotorrhiza. 
on forewings. Pale reddish brown, with darker speckles. The transverse lines are only slightly sinuate and they 
are marked in black and with somewhat whitish edges on sides facing one another. White punctiform orbi¬ 
cular stigma with black surround, the small reniform stigma is also whitish circumscribed by black. Small 
black sagittate marks are situate before the whitish subterminal line. Hindwings whitish with wide black- 
brown marginal band and white fringes. Palestine (Dead Sea).
