LEUCANITIS; GONOSPILEIA; SYNGRAPHA. By Dr. M. Dratjdt. 
of several different specimens that vary very considerably and in part remind one of perorsorum. It is difficult 
insanella. to classify them or to believe in their claim to specific rank. —- insanella Strd. (= ab. 1 Hmps.) has forewings 
uniformly suffused with reddish and duskier markings. Hindwings with extinct marginal spot and terminal band. 
39. Genus : ILeiicanitis Gum. 
chinensis. L. chinensis Aljjh. (Vol. 3, p. 388) does not belong under Anumeta , but should be classified next to 
picta Christ. (Vol. 3. p. 341, pi. 62 g). from which it differs by longer cilia to $ antennae. 
41. Genus: Cj<4>iiosi»ileia Hbn. 
aurantiaca. G. glyphica L. (Vol. 3, p. 343, pi. 62 i). — aurantiaca Schaw. has forewings with more variegated colouring. 
Ground colour mauve-grey, transverse bands and apical spot deep chocolate brown. Hindwings orange-yellow. 
Albarracin. fauriea Culot is an especially pale form from the Crimea. 
nranensis. G. oraneiisis Rothsch. is classified by its author in the Genus Drasteria Hbn., which consists exclusively 
of north american species and which remind one somewhat of G. mi Cl. The generic classification is in this case 
open to doubt. Antennae black-brown, body pale reddish sand colour, a streak on the collar and edges of scapulae 
are deep fuscous. Forewings pale cinnamon brownish, dusted with brown in basal quarter, with numerous 
black lines and rings, in centre a convex sandy brown band, posteriorly dusted with brown wdth a black posterior 
transverse line. Subterminal line distinct. Reniform stigma reddish white, crenulate, a cinnamon-brown spot 
on margin between veins 3 and 4. Hindwings white with black marginal band, outwardly with 3 white spots 
and inwardly conjoined with a black discal stigma. It must be mentioned here that in Nov. Zool. 27 on plate 
XVI, the figure numbers 16 and 17 are inverted. Fig. 17 denotes oranensis and 16 Cortyta rosacea Rbl. and not 
the reverse. 
insulata. G. mi Cl. (Vol. 3, ]). 343, pi. 62 h). — insulata Klem. The lobe of the postmedian spot on forewings, 
vitiosa. pointing towards the anal angle, is widely interrupted by white. Brodow. — vitiosa Wehrli shows a reduced 
middle area of forewings, in which the outer transverse stripe extends to the inner margin in an “S' -5 shape, so 
that it forms only one lobe at its lower end, emitting white ray-like extensions towards the margin. Base of 
hindwings brown, not white, the black central band being double as wide. Frauenfeld (Switzerland). 
15. Subfamily: Phytometrinae. 
3. Genus: Syiigrapha Hbn. 
yoetscli- S. ain Hochenw. (Vol. 3, p. 345, pi. 64 b). goetschnianni Skala shows the silver “y” mark widely 
vianm. jj i] e( [ ou p ft should not be mistaken for tumidisigna Warr., in which only the tail of the “y" is expanded. 
pcnegalensis. penegalensis St dr. The silver mark is completely absent, described from a specimen from the Mendel Pass. — 
infumata. infumata Schwing. has both fore and hindwings duskily suffused. From Hochschwab. 
v-notaia. S. microgamma Him. (Vol. 3, p. 346, pi. 64 a). In v-iiotata Strd. we have the inverse form to incompleta, 
the dot is absent and the “v" mark retained. 
aureomacu- S. interrogationis L. (Vol. 3. p. 346, pi. 64 b). aureomaculata Vorbr. has a golden mark on forewings 
lata, instead of the silver one. — aureoviridis Wgnr. is a fine aberration, the entire wing except for the lower half 
aureovvriais . a ox 
of central area is suffused with golden green. The large, perfectly fresh specimen, which I was enabled to inspect 
orbata. by the courtesy of Mr. Fritz Wagner, was captured in Bohemia (Eger). orbata Warr. has as synonym — 
flammifera. annulata Strd.; fiammifera Huene has as synonym — confluens Strd. —• simplex Strd. denotes specimens 
simplex. w here the spot or ring behind the stigma is absent. 
cinerea. S. cinerea Warr. (= pyrenaica Hmps.) (Vol. 3, p. 346, pi. 64 c) is certainly a genuine species. It differs 
in the first place from inter rogationis by the grey discal area, which is the same shade as the rest of the ground 
colour and therefore not brown. Also the head and thorax are not dark brown, but mauve-grey. Hitherto 
gammifera. only known to occur in the Pyrenees: Gedre, Gavarnie and Cauterets. — ganimifera Warr. is certainly a form 
of same. 
sachalinen- S. sachalinensis Mats. Forewings dark grey, somewhat paler in costal half and at margin, with a black 
sts ■ undulate subbasal. Anterior transverse line black, double. Outer line edged with a fine yellowish line below 
the mediana. Below the oval pale grey orbicular stigma with darker inner ring, there is a pale yellowish “V” 
shaped mark, with a yellowish dot below outwards. In place of the reniform stigma are 2 velvety black striations, 
each of which is edged with white inwards. The double black-brown undulate postmedian line is interfilled 
with white. The dentations of the undulate black subterminal become larger and wider towards the apex and 
are situate here in a nebulous brownish black patch. Along the margin are white lunular streaks with dark 
marginal line posteriorly. Fringes pale grey and checked with brownish black. Hindwings brownish black, 
darker at margin. Wing expanse: 32- 35 mm. S. Saghalin (Ichinosawa).
