27. Genus: l*«lllupci*iil«t Hmps. (erroneously printed as “26. Genus” in Suppl. Vol. 3. p. 166). 
P. rubella Dap. (Vol. 3, p. 186, pi. 43 e; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 168). — sericea Car. is a nice pale yellowish sericea. 
grey form with somewhat darker median area, the entire ground of wings interspersed with snow-white hairs 
and scales. Rumania (Silver coast) in November and December, a form that has adapted itself to its environment. 
P. dumerilii Dup. (Vol. 3, p. 185, pi. 43 d; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 168). — indistincta Phi. (described as an 
Episema) is synonymous with the form — aequalis Schaw. acqualw. 
P. vulpecula Led. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 168). There must have been some misconception here — vulpecula vulpecula. 
Ev. was indicated by Erschoff as a “ Leucania " between lithargyria and albipuncta. This species from the 
Urals, described as a “Cosmia” , of which I was unfortunately unable to obtain the original description, is ac¬ 
cording to Filipjev (writing to E. Doring) a Palluperina close to ferrago or better classified near subaquila and 
hedeni (Vol. 3, pi. 186, pi. 43 f); vulpecula Led. had best be left in its present classification under Cosmia (Vol. 3, 
p. 155, pi. 28 f). 
31. Germs: JKuplexIa Steph. 
E. horse! O. B.-Haas (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 169) is synonymous with gemmifera Wkr. (Vol. XI, p. 147, pi. 16 i) honei. 
from Sikkim and Assam. The latter name should also be utilised for specimens from the palaearctic territory, gemrmfera. 
as the species has now also been found to be distributed widely in China. 
45. Genus: Polyplsaeifils Bsdv. 
P. propinqua Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 198, pi. 44 h). According to E. P. Wiltshire the larva is to be found propinqua. 
in February at night on honeysuckle. It is brown with black-brown interrupted dorsal line in the shape of 
sagittate marks, conjoined by pale delicate lines that have darker edges and which form the whole to a sort 
of chain. It pupates between leaves in a silken cocoon. The moth emerges in April. 
P. subsericata H.-S. (Vol. 3, p. 198, pi. 42 1). The illustration was not satisfactory and we are giving subsericata. 
a good illustration (pi. 26 f) of a specimen from Marash, Taurus. 
64a. Genus: Ksteparia, Fdz. 
This Genus, as already mentioned on p. 239 must be held to be a Subgenus to the Genus: Oedibrya 
Hmps. {= Meroleuca Hmps.) 
71. Genus: Atlietis Hbn. 
The discussion of this Genus must be left to the last, as a fundamental revision, that is in work, has 
not yet been published and this will have to be taken into consideration. 
80. Genus: ISalsa Wkr. 
B. malana Fitch. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 183). The author's name: Fisch. was a printer’s error. malana. 
84. Genus: Scioptila Warr. 
S. eriopoda H.-S. (Vol. 3, p. 220, pi. 47 a; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 183). According to E. P. Wiltshire the eriopoda. 
adult larva is dark grey or brown with white frosted rhomboidal markings on dorsum. These have a dark edge 
and each contain 2 black dots on segments 4—10. Laterally there is a dark zigzag line with a bold white spot 
on the 4th and 5th segments. It feeds on Rubia, Ephedra, Honeysuckle and Rosemary and is full fed in March, 
when it pupates in a paper-like puparium between leaves. The moth emerges at the beginning of September 
in the Lebanon district. 
86. Genus: Msuljina Stgr. 
H. delicata Trti. Forewings brownish black, coarsely scaled. Transverse lines interrupted and indist- delicata. 
inctly dark. Orbicular stigma is a small pale oval, reniform stigma whitish with very fine black circumscription, 
in elongate “S” shape. The subterminal line consists of a row of whitish lunules and there are small black 
striations on margin. Fringes with dark dividing line. Hindwings impure whitish with wide dusky marginal 
shade and whitish fringes. Wing expanse: 27 mm. Cyrenaica (Maaten Giofer). One $ in March. 
H. indelicata Trti. (26 f). Forewings sparsely flecked with darker granules on red-brownish whitish indelicata. 
ground. Wing contour as in viscosa Frr. Both upper stigmata scarcely discernible, of the same shape as in the 
previous species delicata. Transverse lines consist of slightly darker specks between the veins. The irregular
