RAPARNA—PANGRAPTA. By Dr. M. Dratidt. 
74. Genus: Kaparmi Moore. 
R. discoinsignita Strd. All wings dusky blackish with very indistinct paler undulate transverse lines discoimig- 
and indications of black transverse rows of dots and lines; with large deep black very distinctly marked discal 
spots, that appear round on the forewings but somewhat horizontally elongated on hindwings J On forewings 
there is a similar smaller spot in centre of cell with a small black transverse streak below it. The postmedian 
line consists of small black lunules, which in the upper half are outlined outwardly in pale reddish yellow; 
posteriorly there is a narrow grey transverse band, that is continued over on to the hindwings. At anal angle 
of hindwings, a rusty yellow longitudinal streak and a whitish angulated transverse line. Wing expanse: 27 mm. 
Japan (Karapin), in August. 
75. Genus: Kyralidestlies Warr. 
P. inanioena Filipjev resembles amata Btlr. (Vol. 3, p. 401) in build. Forewings pale brownish with a inamoena. 
faint reddish hue, speckled with blackish. The only marking consists of an oblique line, which commences on 
costa near apex and extends to 2nd third of inner margin. It is delicately marked and scarcely perceivable 
and only slightly paler than ground colour. The long fringes are somewhat reddish with 2 indistinct blackish 
dividing lines. Hindwings impure white, densely speckled with black. Fringes grey-white with faint dividing 
line near base. Wing expanse: 18 mm. Minussinsk (Tagarsky Isle), based on a $ captured in May. 
77. Genus: Orec*tis Led. 
0. euprepiata DM. On an average half as large as proboscidata H.-Schaff. (Vol. 3, p. 402, pi. 74 b), with euprepiata. 
narrower forewings, whitish, finely dusted with brownish. Three fairly large black quadrate spots on costa, 
the 1st immediately behind base, the outer one inwardly of reniform stigma. The barely visible anterior trans¬ 
verse line jDroceeds from the former. The posterior transverse line is bent outwardly at top, where it encircles 
the reniform stigma. Inwardly of the latter there is a bold oval spot. Subterminal line sinuate, diffuse, nebulous 
and shadowy at costa and inner angle. Distinct black striations on margin. Hindwings slightly paler, dusted 
with brownish, with diffuse central spot, anterior to which a wide shadowy stripe extends rectangularly to 
inner margin. Nebulous patches in marginal area. Fringes of both wings faintly checked. Wing expanse: 
12—16 mm. Rome, Tivoli, Subiaco in shady, damp localities. 
O. massiliensis Mill. (24 g). According to Puengeler this is a genuine species. It is quite likely that massiliensis. 
it is identical with euprepiata, when they would be synonymous. It is smaller and with narrower wings than 
proboscidata , the transverse lines are wider and more distinct, with much larger costal spots and stout roundish 
reniform stigma. Hindwings paler, less dusted. S. France, Cannes. 
80. Genus: Kivu I a Guen. 
R. sericealis Scop. (Vol. 3, p. 403, pi. 71 i). — oenipontana Hellw. (24 g) is a form that is suffused with oenipontana. 
grey-brown and occurs chiefly in Tyrol and Switzerland, apparently inhabiting woods. — brunnea Lamb, with brunnea. 
dark brown forewings. From Belgium. May be synonymous with the preceding. laetior Spul. has more inten- laetior. 
sively brownish yellow forewings. — limbata Spul. has forewings coloured dusky grey-brown behind the outer limbata. 
transverse line. Also hindwings are widely dark at margin or completely grey. — distincta Rothsch. is smaller, distincta. 
less yellowish, more reddish. The $ on the other hand yellower, the arched band from reniform stigma to inner 
margin is very distinct and not shadowy. Algeria, May to October. — albolividalis Schille is pale yellowish albolividalis. 
white, devoid of markings except for the reniform stigma, in which 2 black dots are situate. Hindwings simil¬ 
arly much paler, almost white. From Strzalkow. 
R. tanitalis Rbl. (24 g). I consider this to be a genuine species. It is considerably smaller (wing expanse: tanitalis. 
16 mm), dull ochreous yellow without any paler patches. In place of the reniform stigma, there are 2 black 
dots, the one above the other and there is no sign of the grey mark of a stigma between them. Egypt (Alexandria). 
84. Genus: Megazetlies Warr. 
Instead of this name (Vol. 3, p. 405) the name: — Arytrura Jolin should be substituted, as it was given 
in 1912, whilst Megazethes was only created in 1913. 
A. musculus Men. (Vol. 3, p. 405, pi. 71 e). This fine and large species is distributed much further westwards musculus. 
and is now found to be a genuine european species, as it is known to occur at Uralsk and has been discovered 
in Hungary. 
86. Genus: Pangrapta 
P. flavomacula Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 409, pi. 71 h). — robiginosa Kard. is dull rusty coloured on forewings robiginosa. 
and in marginal area of hindwings, with diffuse paler lines. Orbicular and reniform stigmata indistinct. — 
albata Kard. denotes whitish specimens with delicate anterior and posterior transverse lines. The other lines albata.
