veins 3 and 4 are with short stalks, 5 is fully developed, 6 and 7 arise from one point. According to the classi¬ 
fication of the Main Volume, it should be placed before the Genus: Oruza Wkr. as 13 b (Vol. 3, p. 271). The 
illustration in Main Volume has no resemblance at all and we are therefore illustrating the species afresh (24 f). 
Zerny captured a few specimens in the Lebanon (Becharre), at the end of June and early July. I have also 
received some from the Amanus mountains. 
71. Genus: Parascotia Him. 
P. fuliginaria L. (Vol. 3, p. 399, pi. 71 b). — magna Dioszeghy is a very large form (28 mm) with yellow¬ 
ish white wings, the forewings densely dusky at costa and sparsely dusted from base to posterior transverse 
line. Marginal area to subterminal shade devoid of dusting except for the veins and the margin itself. Hind- 
wings coarsely and densely dusted with very distinct marginal line and pronouncedly checked fringes. From 
the southern Carpathians (Retyezat mountains). 
P. detersa Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 399, pi. 74 b). The illustration was unsatisfactory and we are giving a better 
one here (24 f). 
P. robiginosa Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 399, pi. 74 c). The illustration is also unrecognisable. We are illustrating 
a specimen from Akshehir (24 f). » 
P. nysseni Trti. (Vol. 3, p. 399, pi. 71 c). The name should be “nisseni“. 
P. nigricans Mats, is said to resemble the black form carbonaria Esp. of fuliginaria, but perhaps it should 
be placed in a new Genus, as the antennae are not serrate, but simple and ciliate. Wings black, posterior and 
subterminal lines indistinct, much more widely separated from one another than in fuliginaria, the latter line 
is disintegrated into numerous small dots. The two bands of hindwings are also barely discernible. Underside 
dark grey, central area of forewings duskily suffused, a yellow spot in centre of costa, posterior to this a row 
of yellowish dots with black discal streak. Hindwings with paler arched band in centre, that has a darker inner 
edge. There is a paler subterminal band. The black legs are yellow inwardly. Wing expanse: 24—28 mm. 
S. Saghalin. End of July. 
72. Genus: Pjiizcuxis Him. 
E. calvaria F. (Vol. 3, p. 400, pi. 71 c). — pokornyi Sterneck has monotonous brown forewings devoid 
of black and white markings, and no ochreous stigmata. Described from Czecho-Slovakia. — plaisanti Schaw. 
are dusky specimens, in which the basal, postmedian and subterminal blackish dentate lines are merged in the 
black ground colour. Also the white edgings of the transverse lines are absent except for 2 white costal spots. 
Stigmata ochreous. From Corsica. 
E. lunulata Herz resembles curvipalpis Btlr. (Vol. 3, p. 400, pi. 74 b), but it has a more pointed wing 
contour and more oblique margin. Reniform stigma is still smaller, crescentiform, with yellow centre. Orbicular 
stigma is only a yellow dot. Colour dark brown, no faint purplish reflection, the whitish dentate marginal only 
distinct in its upper half. The whitish central band commences above the reniform stigma, then very dentate, 
dark brown to inner margin. Hindwings brown with 3 slightly undulate transverse bands. Wing expanse: 23 to 
25 mm. Corea. 
73. Genus: Pro thy mill si Hbn. 
P. viridaria Cl. (Vol. 3, p. 400, pi. 71 d). — purpurina Vorbr. has red colour extended right to base. 
Described from a specimen from Zurich. —hoffmanni Stdr. Base of forewings buff, the outer part from central 
band is claret red, the di vision of the outer area by a band of ground colour is missing. Hindwings also much 
paler than type form. From around Trieste. — faecata Stdr. is monotonous dull pale buff with almost completely 
extinct bands. Innsbruck. — lutalgira Schaw. is larger, ochreous with diffuse markings, a faint darker basal 
transverse line, a reddish band in centre and paler subterminal line. Hindwings with 2 brown bands and dark 
outer margin. In $ the central band and outer marginal area are deep red. Algeria (Bone). 
P. sanctiflorentis Bsd. (Vol. 3, p. 400, pi. 71 d). — aurantiacus Rothsch. is larger and has orange-red 
ground colour, suffused with fuscous in outer half. From Tunis in July. 
P. luna Zerny (24 f) is much smaller than sanctiflorentis , it has much darker colouration on upperside 
of wings with a less intensive yellow-red underside. Genitalia differ. Forewings sooty brown on upperside, 
dusted with olive and very indistinctly marked. The darker central area is edged outwardly by a wide paler 
transverse band; this is bisected by an indistinct dark shade. The edges on both sides are faintly undulate. At 
close of cell 2 dark spots, the one above the other and both with slightly paler surrounds. Hindwings of same 
shade as forewings, in outer third there is a wide, pale olive-brown transverse band with a central dark shade. 
On inner side it has a distinct and straight edge. End of April, early May in south Andalusia (Algeciras).
