cially are exactly like oranaria A. B.-H. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 25), but which can he immediately distinguished by 
the structure of the antennae. — wagneri Cti. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 27) is however certainly a separate genuine wagner>. 
species. 
E. vinirufa Drt. (pi. 25 a) closely resembles the obeliscata form, hut I consider it a genuine species, as rinirufa. 
the structure of the antennae is somewhat different. Head ochreous reddish, 2nd segment of palpi laterally 
black; collar dark brown with black line, scapulae dusky brown with pale reddish inned edge; abdomen almost 
white with ochreous anal tuft. Forewings cinnamon reddish, peppered with brown, veins blackish. Basal area, 
cell and claviform stigma black-brown with deep black basal streak. Only the anterior transverse line is present 
and indistinctly double. Orbicular stigma obliquely elliptical, reniform stigma with dark central streak. Apical 
costal third and marginal area are black-grey, in the latter the subterminal line is discernible in patches. Hind 
wings and fringes white with veins faintly brownish. From Sultan-Dagh in Anatolia. 
E. distaxis Bouts, is the correct name for the species described as actinea Kozh. (Suppl. Vol. 3. p. 27). distaxis. 
This name has right of priority and actinea is synonymous. 
E. ligula A. B.-H. is to be classified with recussa Him. (Vol. 3, p. 32, pi. 6 k; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 28). It is ligula. 
paler, claviform stigma practically absent and subterminal line very different. It stands out very distinctly 
from the grey, somewhat bluish dusted marginal area and has a deep dark shade inwardly; between veins 1 
and 4 it forms a wide arc and on veins 4 and 6 projects sharply outwards. Otherwise forewings are reddish 
brown, admixed with grey especially at inner margin, transverse lines obsolete. The stigmata are pale and grey 
with reddish cores, situate in blackish ground colour of cell. The veins 1 to 3 are darkened. Hindwings grey- 
white with black marginal line, obsolete cliscal spot and barely visible dusky marginal band. Wing expanse: 
34 mm. This is established from 1 $ from Juldus.

form from Holstein. Ground colour instead of being purplish brown is more of a grey-black with faint reddish 
undertone or quite slate-black. Costa and the two stigmata pale yellowish with grey centres and finely circum¬ 
scribed by black. Hindwings purer white in and more narrowly shaded with dark grey; darker grey in §. 
When describing this form, Heydemann draws attention to the fact that specimens from humid climates, from 
localities on the Atlantic and moist mountain regions appear to have more attentuated segments to antennae 
which are less densely and more loosely ciliate. On the other hand specimens from arid continental districts 
have stouter antennae with denser and more numerous cilia. — salioclitana Bouts, (pi. 24 h) differs from other salioclitana. 
known forms by the considerably paler ground colour; it has shorter pectinations than the of typical swiss 
or austrian specimens and the shaft of antennae is somewhat more slender. From Saclas (Seine-et-Oise). 
E. theryi Le Cerf most resembles vitta Esp. and christophi Stgr. Forewings reddish grey with reddish theryi. 
white costal streak, the median nervure being of similar colouration. Transverse lines are absent. A black basal 
streak terminates at base of claviform stigma. The cell between the stigmata is blackened. Orbicular stigma 
is reddish grey with fine black circumscription; reniform stigma grey-brown, inclined to grey-white in lower 
half; the long claviform stigma has grey centre and black outline. Marginal area is blackish with the exception 
of a quadrate paler patch at apex. Subterminal line consists of reddish grey dots, to which on inner side black 
sagittate marks are attached. Fringes reddish grey with ochreous basal line. Hindwings yellowish white, tinged 
with grey at costa and margin. ahmed Le Cerf is a monotonous ochreous grey form without any paler streak ahmed. 
on costa. Wing expanse: 31—35 mm. Morocco (Central Atlas), mount Bou Iblane in August at an altitude 
of 2500 m. 
E. pseudoobelisca Cti. (pi. 25 k) is somewhat smaller than obelisca , the pectinations of the antennae pseudoobe- 
of are less boldly pyramidical. Forewings reddish brown with paler brown costa, which is the same colouration 
as stigmata. The cell between stigmata and basal area is dusky. From the almost black claviform stigma a 
pale brown oblique band extends to anal angle. The veins are slightly dusted blackish. The two transverse 
lines are very obscure and indicated by a few arcs. Subterminal line very indistinct anterior to the dark outer 
area; there are no sagittate marks. Hindwings almost pure white with veins and margin faintly dusky. From 
Ak-Shehir, Anatolia, in September.

larger form with wider wings. Forewings are darker and more inclined to grey-brown, more heavily peppered 
with black and veins prominently black especially in marginal area. Anatolia and Taurus. 
E. anaemica Drt. (pi. 25 g) closely resembles robiginosa. but lias a different shaped valve and is certainly anaemica. 
a genuine species. Thorax and forewings pale yellowish grey, sparsely speckled with brown and markings barely 
indicated by a few distributed black scales. Anterior transverse line seems to proceed vertically, the posterior 
line is faintly dentate. The upper stigmata are indicated and appear to be fairly large; from the reniform traces 
of a central line extend to inner margin. Marginal area is slightly more densely peppered with black and has 
faint indications of a subterminal band. There are black interneural streaks at margin. Hindwings of <$ white
