chiefly among the autumnal brood in the S. Tyrol. It is dark brown, densely peppered with black-brown speckles 
and enwidened markings. A row of dark brown speckled dots occurs in outer area, which often seem to form

H. flavicrinalis Andreas (24 h) was omitted from Main Volnme, it should be classified next to crinalis flavicrinalis. 
and on an average is slightly smaller. Ground colour is a paler buff, sparsely and finely peppered with brownish. 
Markings are almost identical with those of crinalis, but they are more delicate and especially the postmedian 
line is frequently almost completely obsolete. Subterminal line extends more straightly, especially in costal 
area and it has barely any shading inwardly. Hindwings very pale in d, somewhat more distinctly marked 
in $. The thickening of the shaft below the middle of the $ antennae is less pronounced than in crinalis. Algeria.

longer pectinations to d antennae. Forewings almost of the same shade as flavicrinalis and similarly marked, 
so that there is the possibility that this is a large insular form of the latter. Central shade is somewhat more 
prominent, especially towards the inner margin. Subterminal line is bolder and enclosed on both sides by 
fine, distinct brown lines. Sardinia, in June. — autumnalis Trti. is only half the size and is the autumn generation, autumnalis. 
which can be scarcely differentiated from flavicrinalis, although it is perhaps a shade browner than the latter. 
- The grey larva is mottled with brown on dorsum and has a violet zigzag stripe above spiracles. It feeds on 
withered leaves.

which the anterior transverse line is interrupted in a point, so that with the apex of the angle it touches the

108a. Genus: Ufagartcba Btlr. 
N. szetschwanensis Draes. resembles N. indecoralis Wkr ., grey-brown, the inner line of forewings indi- szetschwa- 
stinct, double and bulging. A wide brown shade extends through the middle. Posterior transverse line is fine, 
sharply dentate. Subterminal line consists of a few small black dots. On hindwings both transverse lines are 
delicately brown with a dark shade between them, as on forewings. Orbicular stigma grey on upperside with 
dark surround, on underside it is chalky white and of elongated form. Reniform stigma on upperside is situate 
in the dark shade, whilst on underside it lies posteriorly. It is pale grey and edged on top and bottom by black 
dots. Szechuan (Omi-shien).
