33. Genus: Ortliosfa Tr. 
0. senex Guen. (Vol. 3, p. 61, pi. 14 cl; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 88). — wagneri Bours. denotes a somewhat 
smaller and considerably darker grey-blue race. Frequently the median area is darker and contrasting, in some 
specimens the transverse lines and stigmata are outlined in reddish yellow. Also the hindwings are more heavily 
dusted with grey. The form, that is a transition to the still darker typhoea Trti. from Sicily, is described from 
Bulgaria, but also occurs in Anatolia. 
38. Genus: Tripltaena Hbn. 
T. interjecta Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 63, pi. 15 a; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 90). Unfortunately the typical southern form 
and — caliginosa Schaw. have been confused. The type originates from Italy and France and is pale ochreous 
brown with pale yellow hindwings with narrow black bands, caliginosa is the northern form with dark brown 
forewings and deeper yellow hindwings with wider black bands. 
42a. Genus: Auchmis Hbn. 
A. comma Schiff. (Vol. 3, p. 509, pi. 75 1; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 91). - argentea Car. is a large, very pale 
ashen grey race with obsolesceent markings and pure white hindwings in J. Rumania (Silver Coast). 
46. Genus: ISlepluirita Hmps. 
B. leuconota H.-S. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 92). The author of the form — immaculata is not Schatis., but 
SCHAWERDA. 
4. Subfamily: Hadeninae. 
4. Genus: §cotogramma 
S. trifolii Rott. (Vol. 3, p. 68, pi. 15 g; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 96). - lodbjergensis Hoffmeyer & Knudsen is a 
very peculiar dark grey-black form in which the pale yellow-brown fasciae contrast strongly. Described from a 
$ from the west coast of Jutland (Lodbjerg). Whether this is merely aberrative or denotes aNiace, cannot be 
stated from the one specimen. 
S. compacta Trti. resembles, according to the description of the author S. ghigii Trti. (Suppl. Vol. 3, 
p. 97), but is much darker grey with more rounded outer margin. Forewings densely peppered with dark grey 
on yellowish ground. Subbasal and antemedian are double and with pale interfilling. Claviform stigma in the 
shape of a horseshoe, black. The round orbicular stigma is yellowish. Beyond it there is an obsolescent central 
shade. The large reniform stigma is dark and circumscribed by black in its lower lobe. The outer transverse 
line, which consists of grey intercostal striations, has a pale yellowish inner edge. Subterminal line of the yellowish 
ground colour. Hindwings whitish with indistinct central lunule and smoky grey subterminal. Wing expanse: 
29 mm. From one $ in November at Bardia, Cyrenaica. 
S. pugnax Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 68, pi. 18 a; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 97). The name pugnax, which according to 
Pungeler is the correct denomination, is again being questioned. We propose using the name — treitschkei 
Bsd., as in Main Volume. 
S. sodae Rmbr. (Vol. 3, p. 68, pi. 15 h; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 97). The illustration denominated “sodae” in 
Supplement, plate 14 b, does not represent this species and the reference should be cancelled. Compare what 
is written under stigmosa : 
S.stigmosa Christ. (Vol. 3, p. 68, pi. 15 h; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 98). — atlantica Bours. denotes the race that 
was hitherto held to be sodae from W. France, Vendee. It is darker and duller in colouration, somewhat inclined 
towards olive-yellowish. The markings are less distinct or almost obsolete, the postmedian has no whitish 
outline. Claviform stigma is much smaller and only circumscribed, it has no blackish core. Marginal band of 
hindwings is wider and extends to the anal angle. The illustration denoted “sodae” in Suppl. Vol. 3, pi. 14 b 
is that of atlantica. 
6. Genus: I*olfa Tr. 
P. monotona A. B.-H. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 99). To this must be added as a synonym: praecontigua Trti. 
P. confusa Trti. described from 6 slightly worn specimens from the Karakorum. Its classification is 
rather doubtful. Wing contour elongate and narrow with oblique margin. Forewings greenish ashen grey with 
diffuse markings, very indistinct antemedian and fine grey crenulate postmedian. These two outline a faintly 
darker trapeziform median area. Orbicular stigma round and pale, a few darker scales in centre. Reniform 
very large, elliptical outwardly, the lower lobe outlined in grey. Claviform stigma present. At margin a chain 
of small black lunules. Hindwings grey, paler at base, with dark central line. Wing expanse: 36—42 mm. Tarim 
Basin in June, July and September at an altitude of 3800—4000 m.
