strated (pi. 26 a) from a specimen from Ak-Shehir. 
38. Genus: Clerapteryx Curt. 
C. graminis L. (Vol. 3, p. 93, pi. 20 h; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 117). As a synonym to this species we add: — graminis. 
friesica Bryk as the nomenclatural type.

recently discovered in the bavarian Jura territory in upper Franconia, that vary strikingly from type. They 
are larger, more robustly built, darker grey-yellow with veins standing out distinctly and delicately paler; very 
dusky blackish grey hindwings. It occurs end of May to mid June. 
Subfamily: Cucullianae. 
2. Genus: C uciillia Schrk. 
C. tristis Bours. is to be introduced as a new name for amoena Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 104), as a C. amoena Phil, tristis. 
was described in 1860, denoting a species occurring in Chile. Boursin has proved that tristis is a genuine species, 
that cannot be considered to be a form of duplicatei Stgr. tristis is smaller and darker than duplicata. Markings 
are delicate and much less pronounced, ground colour is a more monotonous grey. The orbicular stigma is 
distinct and round, whilst in duplicata it is oval, the inner edge obscured by an oblique black patch extending 
from costa. In tristis the postmedian is barely indicated, duplicata has a claviform stigma, tristis has none. 
C. hostilis Bours. (26 e) should be classified next to fraterna Btlr. (Vol. 3, p. 106, pi. 28 a). The grey hostilis. 
forewings faintly admixed with brownish. Both anterior transverse lines are absent, the posterior one however 
is well developed throughout its extent and marked heavily with black above the inner margin. Through these 
characteristics and the very dark hindwings, it differs from fraterna, which has no postmedian and has whitish 
disc in hindwings with wide dark marginal band and bold discal lunule. Wing expanse: 44 mm. Sutshanski- 
Rudnik (Ussuri). Only one $ known. 
C. riotodontina Bours. (26 c) most resembles stigmatophora Hmps. (Vol. 3, p. 109, pi. 27 e) where it notodontina. 
should be placed. Shape of wings relatively short and wide. Forewings pale brown. Transverse lines absent, 
except for the postmedian, which is boldly indicated at costa and inner margin, with traces in the disc. The large 
upper stigmata stand out rather paler from the ground, their outline indicated by brownish striations and dots. 
Otherwise markings are like related species, the dark spots before and behind the orbicular stigma as in stigmato¬ 
phora, are entirely absent. The dark streak at inner margin is delicate and double, altogether all markings are 
delicate but distinct. The most pronounced characteristics of notodontina are the heavy postmedian lines on 
the underside of both wings, which do not occur in any of the related species, except scrophulariphaga , where 
however they are only present on the hindwings. Wing expanse: 42—44 mm. Kuldja: Thian-Shan (Aksu, 
Karagai Tau). 
C. zerkowitzi Bours. (26 c) most closely resembles lychnitis, scrophulariae and scrophulariphila (Vol. 3, zerkowitzi. 
p. 109). About as large as lychnitis and therefore larger than the other two. It differs from all 3 by the more 
sharply dentate outer margin and bolder more variegated marking, especially by the more apparent presence 
of a distinct postmedian. The whitish patch over the dark anal streak is absent. Orbicular and reniform stig¬ 
mata are scarcely paler than the ground. Hindwings in q are a rich brownish with very distinct disco-cellular 
nervure. In $ hindwings are completely brown. 
C. xylophana Bours. (26 c) seems most likely related to the anceps group (Vol. 3, p. 109, pi. 27 g). It xylophana. 
is immediately distinguishable from the latter by the more greyish colour, that inclines towards brownish black. 
The whitish tone of anceps is not apparent. Orbicular and reniform stigmata are only indicated by a few dark 
dots. Costa widely grey, with a brownish tinge towards the apex. Marginal line yellowish. Hindwings pale 
with wide dark marginal band and dark disco-cellular streak. Wing expanse: 48 mm. Described from 1 ^ from 
Kuldja in mid June. 
3. Genus: PsemBocoplciicullia Dumont. 
It should be added to the diagnosis of this Genus, that the species classified here have one bold inner 
and a smaller outer corneous claw at the extremity of the fore tibiae, which is not the case in Copicucullia. 
6. Genus: l^oplioterges Hmps. 
L. millierei Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. Ill; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 125). — horhamnieri Wgnr. An illustration (pi. 26 a) horhammeri. 
is now given of an anatolian specimen.
