line is sharply angulated on costa towards the base, the subterminal line is heavily shaded towards the base, it 
is intersected by pale radiary streaks. Described from one $ captured in July in Livonia. 
Bh. rubi View. (Vol. 3, p. 45, pi. 10 c). — grisea Peets is a dull grey form with diffuse markings from grixra. 
N. Germany. 
Rh. florida Schmidt (Vol. 3, p. 46, pi. 10 c). According to the researches of Heydemann, this must now florida. 
be considered a genuine species and no longer a form of rubi. 
Rh. iobaphes Bours. Ground colour of forewings violet-brown, subbasal only visible at costa. The dark iohaphr.s. 
purplish brown antemedian is visible throughout its course. In place of the claviform stigma, that is absent, 
there is a tooth-like dark streak before the antemedian pointing towards the base. Stigmata are large and 
paler than ground and the cell space between and before them is deep black-brown. There is no central shade 
in the somewhat paler median area. Postmedian and subterminal lines are distinctly present. Hindwings impure 
brownish yellow with darker marginal band. Wing expanse: 36 mm. The species is to be classified next to rhomb - 
oidea Esp. (Vol. 3, p. 45, pi. 10 b; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 80). From Djebel-Sannin in the Lebanon. 
Bh. depuncta L. (Vol. 3, p. 44, pi. 9 i). -- arenoflavida Schaiv. are specimens of quite pale sandy colour- arenoflavida. 
ation with extinct transverse lines and reduced black markings. Reniform stigma barely visiole. Hindwings 
pure white, also in §. Somewhat smaller than typical specimens. Albarracin. 
Bh. molothina Esp. (Vol. 3, p. 38, pi. 8e; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 81). — andalusica Schaiv. are such deep andalusica. 
purplish black specimens, that the markings are invisible. Hindwings white with blackish costa, outer margin

of a deep violet, chocolate-brown colour, transverse lines and patch in cell between the stigmata are deep velvety 
black. Stigmata are grey-black with white circumscriptions, also mediana is white in median area. Hindwings 
grey-black with reddish white fringes. From Ak-Sheliir (Sultan Dagh). 
28. Genus: Xestia Hbn. 
X. enargiaris Drt. (pi. 25 e) is to be placed after miniago Err. (Vol. 3, p. 58, pi. 13 i; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 83). enargiaris. 
Pale yellowish, brownish white, sparsely speckled with pale brown. Transverse lines faintly sinuate, the posterior 
line distinct and brown, almost touching the large reniform stigma at lower end of cell. Like the orbicular stigma 
this is open at top and bottom, otherwise with a delicate red-brown outline, which unfortunately is not clearly 
visible in our illustration. Behind the postmedian there are short blackish striations on veins, beyond which 
is the somewhat dentate but bold brown subterminal line. Before the reddish brown fringes there is a further 
delicately undulate brown marginal line. Hindwings thinly scaled, pure white with the veins dusted with 
brown towards the margin and a delicately undulate marginal line. Marasli, Taurus; September and October. 
29. Genus: Ajilectoides Btlr. 
A. borealis Nordstrom (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 84). — imandrensis Lingonblad is synonymous to this species, borealis. 
imandrensis. 
A. speciosa Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 59, pi. 13 i; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 84). As a subform to arctica, we must add — 
diffusa Bangnow. It is a variegated velvety brown, all dark markings obsolete, 2 pale transverse bands with diffusa . 
diffuse edges extend across the wing. Only the orbicular stigma is retained, the reniform stigma is extinct. 
From Lapland. 
30. Genus: Aiioiiiogyna Stgr. 
A. sincera H.-S. (Vol. 3, p. 59, pi. 13 k; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 85). — fennica Brandt is said to be notably fennica. 
paler than the form rhaetica Stgr., the ground colour is a pronounced whitish grey, without any brown tone, 
only occasionally the stigmata are a darker nebulous grey. Hindwings also are paler grey. Kuusamo, Finland. 
Probably this is only the typical sincera. 
32. Genus: Cerastis Fr. 
C. witzenmanni St.fs. (Vol. 3, p. 150, pi. 36 i; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 88). In regard to the form — vinosa Obth. vinosa. 
it must be remarked that the illustration on pi. 12 1, does not represent this form, but rather — plumbina Trti. 
C. faceta Tr. (Vol. 3, p. 38, pi. 8 c, d; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 96). As a synonym to this we have to add: — faceta.
