a grey-blue, black speckled band. The large, almost quadrate stigmata are only edged laterally by black, be¬ 
tween the two, a blackish patch extends from costa almost to centre of cell. Between the reniform stigma and 
the dentate fine black postmedian there is a blackish spot. Subterminal line is blue-grey outwardly with inner 
brownish shade. Fringes checked blackish grey at extremities. Hindwings whitish, faintly dusky, veins dark 
and wide grey-black marginal shade. A small white spot at anal angle. Anatolia (Sultan-Dagh); Sivas; Taurus 
(Amanus mountains). Occurring in July. 
H. hyrcana Drt. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 105). I have now received 3 perfect specimens from the same locality 
(Tacht i Suleiman) as the previous ones. The original description, that was made from a worn must therefore 
be revised. It does not so much resemble caesia-clara , but is closer to duercki Drt. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 104). Ground 
colour is a deep ochreous red, the slate-black markings seem to merge in it and are indistinct. According to 
the genitalia, it also belongs in the luteocincta group, but has no connection with cassia. The specimens have 
been received by the courtesy of Mr. Pfeiffer of Munich. We are giving a fresh illustration of the species (pi. 26c). 
H. asiatica Wgnr. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 106). A large number of somewhat paler specimens have now been 
captured in N. Persia (Elburz mountains). 
H. andalusica Stgr. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 107). I have received through the courtesy of Mr. L' Homme a 
number of typical grey-brown specimens from Douelle (Dep. Lot) France. 
9. Genus: l*aclie<ra Guen. 
P. fulminea F. (Vol. 3, p. 79, pi. 19 e, f; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 109). — - melanophaea Zerny (26 a) denotes 
a very large race (48—51 mm) from the High Atlas (Morocco). It is of dark grey-brown colour with remarkably 
large reniform stigmata having heavy white circumscriptions. Transverse lines and subterminal sagittate marks 
are very bold. From Tachdirt in July at an altitude of 2—3000 m. 
15. Genus: Clonisania Hmps. 
C. renati Obth. (Vol. 3, p. 83, pi. 20 d; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 110). We are illustrating a perfect specimen 
(pi. 26 a), as the illustration on pi. 14 1 was made from a rather worn specimen, that did not give a proper re¬ 
presentation. — vitensis Fdz. denotes a specimen from La Vid (Burgos), has only faintly discernible white trans¬ 
verse lines, larger elongate oval orbicular stigma, that is not obliquely elliptical, but parallel to costa and 
reniform stigma sharply outlined in white. 
15 a. Genus: Trichospolas Drt. 
Related to the preceding. Proboscis developed, palpi obliquely upturned, the two basal segments with 
long hairs underneath. Frons with rounded projection and narrow triangular corneous plate below, q antennae 
faintly serrate, ciliate; in $ simple. Thorax with fine hairs and loose small tuft on pro and metathorax. Fore- 
tibiae with one bold spur inwardly and 3 outwardly at the extremity, the fore tarsi are short and heavily spined 
outwardly. Forewings elongate with oblique, faintly undulate outer margin. Neuration of forewings normal, 
on hindwings 6 and 7 with long stalk. Only one species: 
T. arterialis Drt. (pi. 25 e) resembles a Leucanidae. Head, thorax and abdomen pale sandy yellowish. 
Forewings similarly, sparsely peppered with brownish black, more densely dusted between submedian fold and 
vein 1, again between veins 2 and 5 and also 6 and 8. All veins heavily white, no other markings. Fringes whitish 
with 2 faintly undulate dark dividing lines. Hindwings white, sparsely dusted. Occurring in May at Daghestan. 
19. Genus: Aglossestra Hmps. 
A. mariae-ludovicae D. Luc. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 111). According to Bourses, who has examined the 
types, this is identical with deserticola Hmps. (Vol. 3, p. 82) and should therefore by included there as a synonym. 
20. Genus: Epia Hbn. 
E. evestigata Drt. (26 a) superficially closely resembles Con. renati Obth.. but is somewliat smaller and 
paler grey-yellow in colouration. The markings are very similar. Orbicular stigma is large, round, whitish with 
brownish core. Reniform stigma is outlined in white, which is most apparent on outward edge, on the mediana 
the white extends somewhat towards the base. Subterminal is complete and whitish with very faint blackish 
sagittate marks anteriorly. Fringes checked. Asia Minor (Angora; Sivas) in May and July. 
E. capsivora Drt. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 102) should be placed before E. mendax (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 111). 
According to specimens received from Persia, this is a genuine Epia with process on frons, the $ without ex¬ 
tended and pointed ovipositor.
