242 EUXOA. By Dr. M. Dratjdt. 
and somewhat transparent, of $ brownish grey with white fringes. From around Van in turkish Armenia, in 
August, at an altitude of 2000 m. 
E. cursoria Hufn. (Vol. 3, p. 30, pi. 6g; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 29). Heydemam has very kindly drawn 
my attention to a mistake made by Dr. Corti, who seems to have misunderstood Kozhantschikov. The latter 
considers — sagitta Hbn. to be a genuine species, but not cursoria v. sagittata Stgr. The type of the latter ori¬ 
ginates from Swinemunde, whilst sagitta Hbn. is from S. Russia. The v. sagittata Stgr. is not rare on the Baltic 
and North Sea coasts. 
E. lecerfi Zerny (pi. 25 g) is related to the group of conspicua Hbn., nevadensis Cti. and the subsequent 
mansour Le Cerf. Forewings yellowish or inclined to reddish brown, markings as in conspicua-, orbicular stigma 
is not oblique, but elongated oval. Sagittate marks before the subterminal line are distinct. The pectinations 
of 3 antennae are longer than in the other species mentioned and there are differences in the genitalia. From 
Tachdirt in the High Atlas (Morocco) in July at an altitude of 2300 to 3100 m. 
E. mansour Le Cerf is also closely related to conspicua Hbn. and has similar markings. Colouration is 
more of an ochreous brown, the markings are rather more clear, without being much more prominent. Orbi¬ 
cular stigma smaller, liindwings paler, marginal band narrower and more definite in outline. Wing expanse: 
41 mm. Central Atlas, Morocco in August at an altitude of 3100 m. 
E. transcaspica Kozh. was omitted by Dr. Corti. It is probably the same species as E. catervaria Cti. 
(Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 30), which was described later and therefore the first name has priority. It is a monotonous 
grey with faint markings. According to size and general appearance it is nearest to hilaris. All 3 transverse 
lines are black, faintly undulate, the blackish subterminal line is diffuse or absent. On margin there are black, 
streaks edged inwardly with white. The upper stigmata are only barely indicated, claviform stigma is quite 
absent. Hindwings grey with white fringes. Wing expanse; 32—39 mm. Sumbar in Transcaspia. 
E. cos Him. (Vol. 3, p. 31, pi. 6 i; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 30). — rubra Cti. is a dark brick-red specimen that 
forms a special race around the Lebanon, where so many species incline to be ruddy. Similar specimens however 
have occurred in Spain and the Pyrenees. Kozhantschikov holds the opinion that cos and - millieri Stgr. 
are 2 separate species and alleges that there are distinct differences in the genitalia. It appears that all the 
specimens he deems to be millieri are from Georgia and the Crimea, whilst the millieri (Stgr.) Berce was described 
from S. France and these specimens show no differences anatomically or in general appearance from cos. neither 
do the specimens from the Abruzzi. As these specimens from the Crimea are said to have wider forewings, a 
broader discal area and a differently shaped posterior transverse line, this may be a new species, it certainly 
does not appear to be millieri. 
E. achyricola Cti. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 32). According to Boursin this is the same species as heringi signata 
Stgr. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 31) but the name can be retained, as a form of candelarum Stgr. has the same name 
signata. Probably it is only the anatolian form of decora Schiff. (Vol. 3, p. 29, pi. 6 d; Suppl. Vol. 3. p. 31). A 
large number have been captured at Ak-Shehir and also in N. Persia (Elburz mountains) and a fresh illustration 
is given on pi. 24 h, as the illustration on pi. 4 d of the Supplement left something to be desired. 
Rh . mimouna Le Cerf (26 d) is possibly only a decora form with rather more boldly serrate antennae. Fore¬ 
wings pearly grey to brown, markings indicated rather paler. The antemedian line consists of 4 equal arcs 
with darker outer edges. The posterior transverse line is dentate on the veins. The small round orbicular and 
the reniform stigmata have faintly ochreous surrounds. Claviform stigma is absent. Subterminal line is indicated 
by a row of pale dots. Fringes grey, ochreous at base, intersected by a grey line. Hindwings grey, duskier at 
margin. Wing expanse: 33—39 mm. Colouration is very variable: — argillosa Le Cerf is inclined to pale yellow¬ 
ish grey, marginal area slightly duskier, markings clearer, transverse lines darker grey. — rosacea Le Cerf is 
a rosy ochreous, markings as in argillosa. Central Atlas, Morocco, in August, September at an altitude of about 
3000 m. 
E. diaphora Boars. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 34). — conformis Bours. corresponds to the donzeli form of siepii 
or to the praevisa form of distinguenda and differs from type by the yellowish brown ground colour and similarly 
coloured costa and the absence of the claviform stigma. Uralsk. 
E. cortii Wcgnr. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 34). — costaevittata Wgnr. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 34) should be classified 
as a form of this species. According to information of Boursin genitalia of both are identical. 
E. sulcifera Chr. (Vol. 3, p. 33; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 34). We are now able to give an illustration (pi. 25 d) 
of this rare and remarkable species. It has now also been discovered at Ak-Shehir in Anatolia. 
E. amoena Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 34, pi. 7 e; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 38). According to Kozhantschikov this is 
no Euxoa, but an Agrotis ( Ochropleura according to Kozhantschikov) and identical with flavida again described
