II. Addenda. 
A further revision is necessary owing to the number of new descriptions, corrections etc and the possi¬ 
bility of giving some additional illustrations. 
19. Genus: JSryopliila Fr. 
B. ravula Hhn. (Vol. 3, p. 20; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 17). — medioochracea Byt.-S. (24 k) corresponds to the 
form grisescens Obth. in ground colour, but the central area between the two transverse lines is rusty red in con¬ 
trast to ravulana, in which the antemedian area is brown. Asia Minor (Anatolia); Beirut; Sardinia. 
B. galathea Mill. (Vol. 3, p. 20, pi. 4 d). — soliniana /. n. (24 k) has more pointed wings with more ob¬ 
lique margins. The white antemedian is wider and consists of 2 deeply curved archs and there is a rusty red 
streak in place of a claviform stigma at the point of contact. All other markings are fairly similar to those of 
galathea, only the yellowish white ground colour seems more prominent and in consequence slightly paler than 
in freshly emerged specimens of galathea. I am meanwhile classifying this form here and leave it to be decided 
later, whether it is a genuine species. Hitherto only a limited number of specimens have been obtained at 
Tacht-i-Suleiman (N. Persia, Elburz). 
B. atlantis Schwing. (24 k) is very close to galathea, but is more robustly built and has wider wing contour. 
Ground colour monotonous dark grey-green, so that the delicate markings appear rather confused. They are 
similarly arranged to galathea and also like the much smaller bilineata Rothsch. Hindwings whitish grey with 
grey discal spot, grey outer band and a varyingly wide grey margin. Fringes whitish. Morocco (Tachdirt), 
between 2700 and 3100 m. In July. 
B. squamosa Schwing. resembles muralis Forst. but is smaller and wings are more rounded. Forewings 
yellow-grey in with reddish hue, inclined to rosy red in $. Arrangement of markings similar to that of muralis, 
the central area from stigmata to inner margin black, only between the stigmata a round yellow respectively 
red spot remains. Hindvdngs in $ whitish, scaled with grey and with distinct discal spot and faint transverse 
line; in $ hindwings are almost black. Wing expanse: 23—24 mm. Morocco (Jjoukak). End of June. 
20. Genus: £uxoa Hb. 
E. anarmodia Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 26; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 51). According to Boitrsin this is a genuine Euxoa. 
and not an Agrotis. It should be classified next to capsensis Chret. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 24). As a synonym: albi- 
orbis Hamps. 1919 nec 1909. 
E. temera Hb. (Vol. 3, p. 27 as obelisca; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 24). As a synonym to this species: hem.ispherica 
Hmps. (Vol. 3, p. 26, pi. 12 a; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 29). 
E. suffusa Fdz. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 240). — ambrosiana Bours. The locality Anatolia (Akshehir) should 
be deleted, as this is only a pale specimen of hastifera Donz. (Vol. 3. p. 27, pi. 5h; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 24). 
E. scurrilis sp. n. (26 d) should be classified next to fraudulenta Cti. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 31, pi. 4 c). Head 
and thorax covered with coarse black and yellowish white scales. Forewdngs coarsely peppered with black on 
yellowish white ground. Subbasal, anterior and posterior transverse lines double, densely black, crenulate and 
intertilled with pure whitish yellow ground colour. Stigmata can only be discerned with difficulty in the mottled 
ground, between them a black central shade extends to inner margin. Central area partially with somewhat 
bluish tone. In subterminal area there are indications of irregular black cuneiform marks forming a subterminal 
line. Beyond the yellow-white marginal line, fringes are checked with blackish. Hindwings pale brownish grey 
with somewhat darker veins and whitish fringes. Mr. Boursik has examined the genitalia. Described from a 
freshly emerged captured by Pfeiffer at end of July on the Kendevan Pass (Persia, Elburz). Type in the 
collection of Draudt. 
E. kotzschi sp. n. (24 i) should be classified about between decora Schiff, and birivia Schiff. (Suppl. 
Vol. 3, p. 31). The $ antennae have long ciliate serrations. Head and thorax with grey and black hairs. Fore¬ 
wings uniformly peppered with black on whitish grey ground. Subbasally 2 black costal dots and a larger one 
conjoined by an indistinct basal streak below mediana. Both transverse lines are double, arising from bold 
black dots on costa; the posterior line outlining the wide blackish central shade. All 3 stigmata large and of 
the usual shapes, orbicular stigma generally elliptical at top. Subterminal line pale, irregularly dentate with 
dark grey inner edge. There is a pale fringe base line posterior to the heavy black marginal streaks. The pale 
grey fringes are intersected by 2 dark lines. Hindwings whitish faintly coloured with grey at margin and on 
veins and with a fine interrupted marginal line. A large number of pairs were captured by H. Ivotzsch in June 
on a high alpine table land, 2800—3000 m altitude at, Badachshan (Sebak valley) and named in his honour. 
Types are in the collection of Kotzsch, cotypes in the collection of Draudt.
