PSEUDOCOPICUCULLIA—AMATHES. By Dr. M. Draudt. 
grey and cinnamon brown. The orbicular stigma is much larger, reniform more sharply outlined and with black 
core in lower half, claviform stigma is very large and intensively black-brown. Subterminal line is more deeply 
dentate, fringes are brown with darker brown checks. Hindwings darker, outwardly sooty black with white 
fringes. Wing expanse: 41 mm. Mesopotamia (Amara) in October. 
Subfamily: Cucullianae. 
3. Genus: Fseudocopicncnllia 
mela.no- P. melanoglossa Berio. Body and forewings yellowish white, collar with black intersecting line. Fore- 
(jlossa. w j n g S w it,h fine black basal streak, no indications of transverse lines, all veins finely black. A few ockreous 
interneural streaks subapically and a similar lunular arch in place of the posterior transverse line before the 
anal angle. Inwardly of same towards the base a few speckles. Hindwings transparent pure white with yellowish 
veins and marginal line. Wing expanse: 40 mm. Fezzan (Ubari) in October. The author had created for this 
species, the separate Genus: Pseudonycterophaeta. 
32a. Genus: Tlieeaniicliiis gen. n. 
To be placed between Thecophora Led. and Eumichtis Him. Proboscis fully developed, the upturned 
palpi are hairy underneath and with somewhat projecting terminal segment. Frons smooth with high frontal 
tuft. Eyes large, round, boldly ciliate. $ antennae strongly serrate with fascicles of cilia. Thorax covered 
with hairs and scales, tufts on prothorax and metathorax. Abdomen with fairly tall dorsal tufts. Neuration 
of forewings normal, on hindwings in $ the subcostalis in the upper section of cell has a flat S shape, at first 
convex, bending then concavely upwards and downwards to the long stalk of 6 and 7, forming at the point 
of division a sort of accessory cell with an oblique fold coming from S. This gives the impression of a deep oval 
cavity on the upper side of hindwings which is filled with, long hairy scent scales. In the $ the neuration of 
hindwings is normal. Margin of forewings is undulate. Only 1 species: 
meissneri. Th. meissneri sp.n. somewhat resembles outwardly Trichoridia canosparsa Hmps. (Vol. 11, p. 113) 
described from Sikkim, but differs considerably anatomically. Head and thorax are black, interspersed with 
yellow-white. Forewings black, densely peppered with yellow-white, on costa alternatingly marked with black 
and white. Subbasal is only indicated by a few black appressions of scales. The anterior transverse line is double, 
the lines are widely separated and intertilled with black, so that a broad black antemedian band is created. The 
upper stigmata are somewhat quadrate but without outline and pale yellowish white in the mottled ground. 
They have 3 or 4 black dots in the angles, and are slightly more deeply shaded with black before and behind 
the reniform stigma. The posterior transverse line is crenulate; subterminal black streaks that in the submedian 
area contain 2 yellow-white streaks. Fringes black with faint white checks. Hindwings brownish, widely dusky 
at margin and with delicate yellow-white fringe base line. Obtained in large quantities at Likiang (N. Yunnan) 
and in single specimens at Tai-shan (Shantung) in September. Types in the collection of Hoene, Reichsmuseum 
Alexander Konig in Bonn; cotypes in the collection of Draudt. In all probability the illustration in Vol. 11, 
pi. 14 g as “ canosparsa represents this species, whilst the is a copy af Hampson's illustration, which was 
described only from genuine canosparsa $<$. This interesting new discovery is named in honour of Mr. Paul 
Meissner, Shanghai, who is a director of the well known german firm of Otto Wolff, Cologne and who has helped 
promote the expeditions of Hoene in a most generous manner. 
43. Genus: Antitype Hbn. 
glaisi. A. rosea Rothsch. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 142) — glaisi D. Luc. is not simply a synonym, it is a pale grey and 
not a brownish rose form. 
pentheri. A. pentheri Rbl. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 144) proves to be a synonym to Crym. platinea-montana H.-S. (Suppl. 
Vol. 3, p. 259) and must therefore be deleted. 
47. Genus: Bryomima 
grisea. B. johanna Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 139, pi. 34 d; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 258). - grisea D. Luc. is not a simple synonym, 
but the more monotonously coloured north african race with less distinct markings, but with bolder discal spots. 
62. Genus: Am a tlies Hbn. 
liypotaenia. A. hypotaenia Byt.-S. (23 k). Forewings dark brown, the double transverse lines widely suffused with 
blackish. There is a very distinct dark brown subapical spot, that is continued in a row of fine black interneural 
dots. A delicate pale fringe base line behind blackish marginal dots. Between the two transverse lines there is
