inal band. Forewings more or less dark brownish violet-grey, the markings clear and distinct, especially t he 
orbicular which is sharply outlined in black. Also the sagittate marks at subterminal line are very striking. 
Tachdirt, Morocco in July at an altitude of 2300—2700 m. — dissoluta Krul. lias shorter and wider forewings. 
Ground colour is yellowish white, markings deep brown, costal area scaled with grey-brown. Between claviform 
stigma and posterior transverse line there is a heavy black streak. Apex is whitish, the rest of the marginal 
area is blackish brown. Hind wings white with brown marginal band. Probably this is only aberrative. From 
Wiatka. — inversa Derenne is a monotonous glossy black aberration from base to posterior transverse line, on 
the other hand the subterminal and marginal areas are white. Markings black, the two upper stigmata white, 
the reniform having a black central streak. Described from Spa. 
P. lateritia Hfngl. (Vol. 3, p. 166, pi. 39 i; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 157). contraria Heydem. denotes specimens 
with costal and marginal areas of forewings a deep dusky brown, contrasting strongly from the paler leathery 
yellow to buff of inner marginal half. The origins of the lines on costa are also leathery yellow dots, the lines 
themselves being deep black. These specimens belong to the deep brown race borealis Strd., that also has distinct 
black markings. From Schleswig-Holstein. albicingulata Warn, lias orbicular and reniform stigmata with 
yellow-white surrounds. 
10. Genus: Oligia Hbn. 
The name Procus Oken (1815) should be utilised for this Genus. 
0. strigilis Cl. (Vol. 3, p. 172, pi. 40 i; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 159). Heydemam writes in regard to this species: 
“Clerck’s illustration shows and description reads: strigilis L. nebulous grey-greenish patches in marginal 
area, which is not pure white (as in jasciata Tutt.). In such a case as I have meanwhile been able to ascertain: 
amoena Krul. = strigilis Cl. Linne only mentions a “whitish marginal band". 
D. faroulti Rothsch. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 160). Heydemann points out that there is a further material 
specific characteristic that helps to differentiate from similar literosa forms. In faroulti the very distinct black 
arc on the collar, that all literosa have, is absent. 
O. bicoloria Vill. (Vol. 3, p. 173, pi. 40 1; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 160). pseudonychina Heydem. corresponds 
to the pale unicoloured onychina form of literosa and is monotonous whitish ochreous yellow or grey-yellowish. 
Schleswig-Holstein. HEYDEMAisnsr also writes to me: — “I consider it incorrect to limit the — f. longistriata 
Warr. so narrowly to represent only specimens like the illustration with a narrow black straight streak on sub¬ 
median fold and to separate - latistriata Hoffmeyer with a broad streak and to specially denominate all variations 
of ground colour in the way Schultz has done. The variation longistriata occurs additionally in all other coastal 
forms combined with these colour variations.” The 'pseudonychina form with black longitudinal streak has been 
named — pseudonychina-striata Schultz. — antithesis Schultz is a further form, forewings chalky white in outer 
half, pale brownish inwardly. In centre of wing above the inner margin a deep black V-shaped mark. Orbicular 
stigma white with dark centre, ringed with black inwardly and outwardly. Only the inner edge of the reniform 
stigma is visible. Subterminal line is edged outwardly sharply by black-brown. Fringes pale and with dark 
checks. Hindwings unicoloured grey. Both the latter forms from Borkum. 
11. Genus: XDremobia Steph. 
E. ochroleuca Esp. (Vol. 3. p. 175, pi. 41 b). asiatica Drt. (pi. 26 f) is smaller than european specimens. 
Markings sharply brown on whitish ground, but they are reduced. Marginal area almost pure white. Fringes 
without checks. Hindwings pure white with blackish marginal band. Anatolia (Sultan Dagh) in July. 
12. Genus: Oerbathodes Warr. 
G. ypsilon Btlr. (Vol. 3, p. 175, pi. 42 b). The illustration was poor. A better one is now given (pi. 26 f). 
14. Genus : €rym«des Guen. 
C. platinea Tr. (Vol. 3, p. 176, pi. 41 d; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 161). - splendida Reisser is similar to reisseri 
Bub. and the following form from Morocco, but the markings are so variegated and complete, that it might 
be taken for a separate species. Ground colour is a rich creamy yellow with dark grey dusting, the median and 
postmedian areas and also the basal area remaining paler. The transverse markings are distinct and clear and 
pure grey-black. Subterminal line is well developed, sagittate marks large and bold. Hindwings much paler 
in basal area. Sierra de Gredos. atlantica Zerny (pi. 26 e) is the form from Morocco mentioned on p. 161. It 
is very close to reisseri, but is paler and has more of a yellowish tone. The subterminal line is a pale brownish 
yellow. Tachdirt in July. 
C. montana H.-S. (Vol. 3, p. 176, pi. 42 a). The illustration in Main Volume was quite unrecognisable 
and we are giving here an illustration (pi. 26 f) of a persian specimen from Elburz. It is very questionable, 
whether this is not merely a form of platinea.
