8a. Genus: Allomecia Dumont. 
The name Allomecia should be withdrawn in favour of: Pseudomecia Hmps. 
11. Genus: Metopoeeras Guen. 
M. khalildja Obth. (Vol. 3, p. 113, pi. 24 b; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 126, pi. 16 f). — albida Schaw. is a pure 
whitish grey form of this very variable species, with blackish transverse stripes devoid of yellow or brown. — 
rubida Schaw. on the other hand are deep fuscous with dark transverse bands. Both from Algeria. 
12. Genus: Ainmctopa Hmps. 
A. codeti Hmps. nec Obth. It has been discovered that “ Metopoceras” da seutrei Obth. is synonymous 
with Hampson’s species and it should be named du seutrei Obth. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 126); — agnellus Zerny 
(pi. 26 d) is the Morocco form from the High Atlas; it is much darker, reddish grey-brown with scarcely dist¬ 
inguishable markings. Hindwings are also dusky with wide dark grey-brown marginal band. Tachdirt at end 
of July. 
13. Genus: Cleophana Bsd. 
C. diffluens Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 115, pi. 24 f; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 127). caerulescens Schwing. corresponds in 
its markings to the form mauretaniae. Forewings bluish grey in basal area, the inner median half brownish, 
posteriorly a black central shade that expands towards the inner margin; the rest of the wing is pale bluish 
grey with distinct black outer transverse line. Hindwings very pale. It has been captured at the end of July 
at Tachdirt in the High Atlas. 
13a. Genus: Metaloplia Stgr. 
M. ingloria Drt. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 128). — splendida Amsel should be added as a synonym. 
16. Genus: Calophasia Steph. 
C. lunula Hufn. (Vol. 3, p. 116, pi. 29 b; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 129). — analolica Drt. (pi. 25 c) is much purer 
blue-grey with bold and distinct black and white markings. Reniform and claviform stigmata are a brilliant 
white. Hindwings white with black marginal band. Our illustration unfortunately does not portray the bril¬ 
liance of the colouration. From Bithynia and from the Sultan Dagh. 
C. angularis Chret. described on p. 135 of this Supplement as a Bombycia is a genuine Calophasia, accord¬ 
ing to Boursin, who has examined the type, stigmatica Rothsch. and liberatii Trti. (p. 130) are synonymous 
and both should be deleted. 
19b. Genus: Mctoporiiclia Drt. 
Should be classified next to Derthisa Wkr. (Vol. 3, p. 119; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 132). It differs by a large 
cylindrical process on frons, that is hollowed out, has a sharp edge which is intersected longitudinally by a 
vertical narrow ridge. Palpi are shorter than in Derthisa with an appendiculate terminal segment. Thorax 
purely hairy, no intermixing of scales; there is a loose tuft on pro and metathorax. Otherwise like Derthisa. 
Only 1 species: 
M. ernesti Drt. (pi. 25 c). Forewings yellowish white. In place of orbicular stigma an oblique streak. 
Reniform stigma oblique and quadrate with delicate brown surround. Between the stigmata the cell has a 
brown patch. Posterior brown transverse line is double, the outer part extends at apex towards the costa, the 
inner part bends inwards there towards the base. Between veins 1 and 7 a bold brown subterminal line and at 
margin there is a fine brown undulate line. Hindwings yellowish white with brown marginal line. It closely 
resembles Derthisa antherici Christ. (Vol. 3, p. 120; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 133, pi. 28 c). Mr. Filipjev was so kind 
as to examine the type of Christoph and declares it has no process on frons. From 1 B from Achyr Dagh (Taurus) 
captured in September. 
24. Genus: ISonibyeia 
B. angularis Chret. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 135) is to be withdrawn from here and placed under Calophasia 
Steph. (p. 256). See above. 
34. Genus: Megainepliria Hbn. 
M. bimaculosa L. (Vol. 3, p. 129, pi. 31 h). pontica Drt. (pi. 25 d) is a large grey-black form that is 
distinctly marked. Hindwings are dark grey and with 2 large black spots. Anatolia (Sultan Dagh) in September.
