Corrections und Additions to Supplementary Volume 3. 
1. Family: Agaristidae. 
6a. Genus: Mafkona Mats. 
Closely related to Asteropetes Hamps. (Vol. 3, p. 7) and should be classified immediately following it. 
The 3rd segment of palpi is shorter than the 2nd. Antennae somewhat longer. Abdomen with very long basal 
tuft of hair. No crests on the other abdominal segments. On forewings veins 7 and 8 with very long stalk. Only 
one species: 
M. jezoemsis Mats. The black forewings are speckled with brown, olive, whitish and yellowish. Anterior jezoensis. 
transverse line is interrupted twice and is olive-grey and undulate. Posterior transverse line is double bending 
widely outwards behind the reniform stigma and with a large longish white spot in between. The white sub- 
terminal line expands at costa and inner margin. Marginal line brown, edged with white inwardly and streaked 
with golden yellow outwardly. Fringes white with black checks and black dividing line. Both the upper stigmata 
are black with grey centres. Below the origin of vein 2 there is a triangular white spot. The veins are somewhat 
paler. Hindwings yellow with wide black-brown marginal band and discal spot. Fringes yellow-white with 
dark dividing line. Hokkaido, in April and May. 
2. Family: Noctuidae. 
As the name Noctua should not be used (“Noctua”: Aves praeoccup.), also the denomination Noctuidae 
should now be eliminated and according to the proposal of Tams it should be altered into Agrotidae. 
I. Subfamily: Acronictinae. 
II. Genus: Sfmyra 0. 
S. moltrechti 0. B.-H. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 6). In regard to this form, see p. 191 of this Supplementary moltrechti.

species with white forewings sparsely speckled with black, rather more markedly so behind postmedian. Basal 
streak is marked as in phaedra. Anterior transverse line is double, sharply dentate, extending very obliquely 
to centre of inner margin, but at vein 1 reverting towards the base. The brownish stigmata are finely circum¬ 
scribed by black. The posterior transverse line is only double at costa and at inner margin and is interfilled 
with white. Behind it on the discal fold there is a fine dart-shaped mark, with a stouter similar mark on sub-
