C. vilis Wkr. (Vol. 3, pi. 63 b) was omitted from the text. Hampson created a special Genus: Gnamptonyx rUis. 
for this species, as the fore tibiae have a curved spine at the ends. However according to outer appearance, 
the species fits in well here. It closely resembles the illustration of assimilis of the preceding species but is some 
what larger and has a large spot in the centre of costa of forewings. Markings of hindwings are heavier. Wing 
expanse: 26—38 mm. Aden, distributed over the Sudan, Somaliland and also in Arabia and India. 
G. vetusta Wkr. (Vol. 3, p. 339, pi. 62 e). pallidior Strd. is a paler form. The “forms’ - : rosacea Rbl. pallidior. 
and acrosticta Pglr. are classified both by Rothschild and Hampson as genuine species, which is probably 
correct.

Volume. 
38. Genus: Cerocala Bsd. 
The species placed in this Genus in the Main Volume have in several cases been grouped incorrectly 
and it is necessary to recapitulate as follows: 
C. scapulosa Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 340, pi. 62 f). A species that varies very little and is correctly described scapulosa. 
and illustrated in Main Volume, algiriae and biskrensis that Oberthur classifies with it, do not actually belong 
here, the former is a separate species. Whether — albifusa Joan, belongs to it, is doubtful. The description albifusa. 
reads: ground colour of forewings pale pearly grey, veins dusted with black, the black-brown lines and inter¬ 
stices as in the type form, the discal area faintly suffused with brown in the lower posterior part. The elongated 
olive eyespot circumscribed with pale reddish in the lower part. The deep indent between postmedian and reni- 
form mark is a pure white. Marginal area pearly grey with a black arc. Hindwings with white ground dusted 
with pale reddish grey as in scapulosa, the black marginal spots, sharply outlined. Alexandria (Egypt). 
C. rothschildi Trti. (= insana Rothsch., nec Stgr., sana Warren in Seitz) (23 f) is an intermediate species rothschildi. 
between scapulosa and insana, smaller than the former, larger than the latter. Colouration darker than algiriae. 
The white subterminal line forms 2 indents inwards, whilst in the other species there is an additional more or 
less distinct small subapical. The arrangement of the markings is the same. Hindwings somewhat suffused 
with brownish, with grey-brown submarginal band and 2 black marginal spots in white ground. Algeria. The 
species was illustrated as “ Sana” in Vol. 3, pi. 62 f, but the illustration was not good and we are now giving 
a better picture. 
C. sana Stgr. (23 f) is not the species described as such by Warren in the Main Volume, p. 341, but a sana. 
different species, correctly designated by Hampson in his Cat. Lep. Phal. and which however does not occur 
in N. Africa. The illustration on pi. 62 f represents the preceding rothschildi. It is a relatively small compact 
species, of dark colouration, all pale bands of forewing usually boldly interfilled with dark scales, so that they 
appear to be edged by thin pale lines. The pale reniform stigma very narrow. It is difficult to explain in a 
description the differences from insana. Hampson's statement that- the postmedian is somewhat incurved 
under the costa, which is not the case in the other species, is not always actually so. It only occurs in Asia 
Minor (Taurus; Mersin), Syria and in the Persian Gulf. According to Amsel it also occurs in Palestine, where 
the moth flies exclusively on the sandhills. In s an an a Strd. (= ab. 1 Hmps.) the white postmedian band on fore- sanana. 
wings is very narrow and does not extend to the subterminal line. - sanella Strd. (= ab. 2 Hmps.) has the sanella. 
subterminal band on forewings extinct towards the margin. 
C. perorsorum Trti. (23 f) is also somewhat bigger than insana. Markings and colouration daintier than perorsorum. 
in the preceding species. Ground colour milky white, the darker markings seem powdered over with grey- 
white. The arrangement of markings is the same as in the other species. Hindwings on the other hand remind 
one more of those of scapulosa owing to the wider and more distinct postmedian band and the greater extension 
of the black marginal spots. — fulgens Trti. (23 f) denotes a somewhat darker form of this very variable species fulgens. 
It has a more yellowish tone to ground colour with darker markings - autumnalis Trti is the second generation, autumnalis. 
occurring in October — the first flies in March — this is plainly a stunted form of only half the size and with 
duller colouration. Cyrenaica, flying along the sea coast in daytime. 
C. insana H.-S. (= algiriae Obth.) (Vol. 3, p. 341, pi. 62 f). According to Rothschild the name insana insana, 
should be annulled, as Herrich-Schaffer described the species as from the Cape of Good Hope and also the 
illustration is open to doubt. As however Hampson especially mentions that this origin is erroneous, we prefer 
to retain the name here. It is the smallest and palest species. —- biskrensis Culot (23 f) denominates the palest biskrensis. 
specimens of all, with pure white hindwings, without any trace of black spots. The species insana is unbeliev¬ 
ably variable and if one wished one could probably separate 50 forms. On plate 23 f we are giving illustrations
