the collection of Pfeiffer and Boursin. 
21. Genus: Agrotis 0 . 
A. atlanta Le Cerf is close to graslini B.sdv. ; forewings pale ashen grey, with reddish tone at the lower 
angle of cell between veins 2 and 3 and around the submedian fold. The mediana and base of nervure 2 are 
white. Stigmata with black surrounds. Orbicular stigma white, reniform with a white arc only on inner edge. 
It differs from graslini by the wider and more rounded wing contour, the more precise and clearer markings. 
W. Morocco on the dunes on the atlantic coast; Casablanca. Wing expanse: 31—40 mm. In September. 
A. dirempta Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 24; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 43). We are now able to give an illustration (pi. 25 h). 
A. sabulosa Rmbr. (Vol. 3, p. 25, pi. 12 a; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 47). A perfect specimen of very pale grey 
colouration has now also been captured at Teneriffe and we are illustrating it on pi. 25 h, as it varies consider¬ 
ably from type. We introduce the name — fortunata /. n. for it. 
A. liouvillei Le Cerf (pi. 25 h). Forewings ochreous whitish with very distinct black markings. Anterior 
transverse line is not dentate, whilst the posterior line is dentate. Subterminal line with distinct sagittate marks. 
The round orbicular stigma has brown core and ochreous circumscription; reniform is dark brown and the 
elongate claviform is dark ochre. Basal and marginal areas sparsely speckled with blackish. Hindwings impure 
white, slightly more dusky at margin with pale ochreous marginal line. Morocco (Central Atlas). The larvae 
probably feed on some small Festuca plant. 
A. chretieni Bum. (Vol. 3, p. 25, pi. 5 c; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 48). — albula Fdz. is a form that is more heavily 
powdered over with grey-white, so that fore and hindwings are alike. Markings of forewdngs almost obsolete, 
only the reniform stigma and the dark grey marginal lunules are retained. Burgos, Spain. 
A. cinerea Schiff. (Vol. 3, p. 27, pi. 5 g; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 48). The aberrative specimen with heavy 
central shade, illustrated on pi. 7 a of this Supplement, is named by Schawerda: — ab. variegata; his specimen 
was captured at Waidbruck. — aragonensis Schaw. denotes a small narrow-winged from Aragon (Sierra Alta) 
of very dark grey-brown colouration, the markings are still just discernible. 
A. exclamationis L. (Vol. 3, p. 34, pi. 7 d; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 49). — nigriorbis Zerny (pi. 25 h) is a very 
distinct form from the High Atlas (Tachdirt), in which the stigmata have deep black centres and especially 
the orbicular stigma, whilst the claviform stigma is very long and stout, the transverse lines very heavy. 
A. ripae Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 41, pi. 9 a; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 50). The form —- wagneri Cti. which shows extreme 
variation, is illustrated (pi. 25 i). 
A. trux Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 30, pi. 6 e; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 51). — rubrofusca Schaw. is deep fuscous on fore¬ 
wings, head and thorax. Corsica and also Albarracin. 
A. puta Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 28, pi. 6 a; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 51). An new locality for this species is the Canary 
Islands (Teneriffe), where it occurs in the form syricola Cti. 
A. anastasia Drt. (pi. 25 e). This is best classified between lutescens Ev. and romanovi Chr. (Vol. 3, p. 38 
and 39; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 53). Thorax and forewings pale yellowish. Edge of collar widely brownish. Transverse 
lines on forewings commence at black costal spots, the anterior one is only partially present, the posterior line 
is indicated by black-brown dots on veins, that become more coherent below vein 2. Subterminal line is indicated 
by a brown dentate inner edge. Stigmata are merely discernible through faint brownish surrounds in cell and 
beyond it. Before the reniform stigma there is a stout black streak. Hindwings pure white. Taurus (Marasli); 
Van; Iraq (western slopes of the Kurdistan mountains). Occurring in August. 
A. serraticornis Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 38, pi. 8 d; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 53). This species is certainly also found 
in type form in Asia Minor. It definitely occurs at Angora (teste Rebel) and at Ak-Shehir (in the collection 
of Draudt). 
Subgenus: Powellinia Obth. 
P. matritensis Vasq. (Vol. 3, p. 24; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 54) and messaouda Obth. (Vol. 3, p. 36, pi. 7 i; Suppl. 
Vol. 3, p. 54) are conspecific and merely forms of one and the same species. 
Subgenus: Cladocerotis Hmps. 
C. flagrans Pglr. Described by the author as Euxoa from 2 was omitted from the Supplement. It 
apparently closely resembles tischendorffi Pglr. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 55) but is of a richer brick-red colouration 
with very similar but rather more obsolescent markings. Hindwings suffused with brownish grey, no discal
