below the reniform stigma and from there bulging obliquely to inner margin. Posteriorly there is a faint brown 
line. The subterminal is white with blackish dentations inwardly, with brown outer outline from costa to vein 
4 and obliquely to apex. Hindwings white, brownish in anal area with brown discal streak and veins posterior 
to lower angle of ceil. A wide black-brown subterminal band, that projects subapically and between veins 4 
and 2 to the margin. Palestine (Jerusalem). Tins rare species can easily be mistaken for nezovi, or cailino and 
is thus perhaps frequently overlooked.

59. Genus: Armada % . 
A. panaceorum Men. (Vol. 3, p. 393, pi. 70 k, 1). — distincta Rothsch. is much paler than the typical form dixtincta. 
and the markings of forewings are more distinct. The white spot in black band of hindwings is also much larger. 
Between El Arish and Oued Nga (Algeria) in April. 
A. dentata Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 393, pi. 70 1). — nilotica A. B.-H. in contrast to the typical ochreous specimens, nilotica. 
has brilliant pure white ground colouration, so that a similarity to huebneri is created. It does not vary other¬ 
wise either in markings or size. Cairo. 
A. eremophila Rbl. (Vol. 3, p. 394). The illustration and description do not refer to this species, which eremophila. 
more closely resembles a small Aedia funesta, but to the following species. Dr. Zerny has been kind enough 
to draw my attention to this. According to him the following are synonymous with eremophila: lacroixi I). Luc. 
and costiplaga Warr. (Vol. 3, p 397, pi. 74 c). We are now giving an illustration of a specimen from Meadi (24 e). 
According to Zerny the Genus Metoponrhis (Vol. 3, p. 396) cannot be justified and the species should be classi¬ 
fied with Armada. 
A. afghana Pimps. (= eremophila Warr. nec Rbl.). This is the species described and illustrated as eremo- afghana. 
phila in Vol. 3, p. 394, pi. 70 1. The type from Afghanistan (Safed Kuh) is in the collection of Lord Rothschild. 
The species however may also occur on palaearctic territory. 
A. turcorum Zerny is smaller than albirena Christ. (Vol. 3, p. 396, as “ Metoponrhis”) with much paler turcorum. 
ground colour, the pale discal spot is more precisely circular, the transverse lines less sharply dentate. Hind¬ 
wings much paler at base, darker towards the margin. The transverse line is less distinct and further removed 
from margin. Length of forewings: 10 mm. Described from Haifa, but also occurring on the dunes around 
Tel Aviv in March and April. 
64. Genus: Imitator Alph. 
1. ciliaria Men. (Vol. 3, p. 396). The reference to pi. 74 a was incorrect, as the .species was not illustrated, ciliaria. 
This is being done now (24 f). 
I. palpangularis Pglr. (Vol. 3, p. 396). The species is not named ii palpangularia”. An illustration is now palpangula- 
given (24 f). It is very close to the preceding species, but has narrower and more pointed forewings. These 
are also more heavily admixed with white and have more distinct markings and more boldly dentate lines. 
The name was omitted from the List of Palaearctic Noctuae with reference to ori¬ 
ginal descriptions. The reference is Iris 14, p. 178, pi. 3, fig. 12. 
67. Genus: Acrobyla Rbl. 
A. ksieuckeri Rbl. (Vol. 3, p. 397, pi. 75 1). The name for this species was incorrectly given as ‘ 'kuenckeri” kneuckeri. 
in Main Volume. Besides the reference to plate was omitted. It is close to Metopoceras canteneri Dup. both 
genetically and specifically. In consequence of the origin of the bold vein 5 of hindwings below the centre it is 
certainly a Noctuinae and in all probability should be classified here, vide p. 126, pi. 16 f of this Supplement. 
69. Genus: Laspeyrla Germ. 
L. flexula Schiff. (Vol. 3, p. 398, pi. 71 b). — albina Wehrli is pale yellowish white on forewings with dlbina: 
distinct markings. Also the underside is paler with very clear marginal dots. Described from Switzerland. 
70. Genus: Coloboebyla Him. 
C. inquinata Led. (Vol. 3, p. 398, pi. 74 a). This is not a Noctuinae , but certainly an Erastrianae, according inquinata. 
to Zerny. He has created for it the Genus: — Tephrochares Zerny , which should be classified next to the Genus 
Cerynea Wkr. Its characteristics are the well developed proboscis, the palpi which extend obliquely upwards 
far over the frons and the densely scaled frons. $ antennae are ciliate, thorax without tuft and broadly scaled. 
On forewings vein 6 arises below the upper angle of cell, areola is present. On the widely rounded hindwings.
