stigmata with fine reddish surrounds. Hindwings grey with large discal spot, postmedian and pale fringes. 
Beirut (Syria). — Wiltshire! Byt.-S. is a dark black-brown form that looks about like Conistra ligula-polita Him., vnllshirei. 
but the marginal area remains a c ntrasting pale leathery brown. Lebanon (Arayah) in December. 
Subfamily: Zemobiinae.

24a. Genus: Ijiicasidia Bours. 
Proboscis developed, palpi scaled and with short terminal segment. Frons with granulated round convex 
arch, that has a projecting ridge in centre that ends at top in an obtuse point, below in a corneous plate. <$ 
antennae serrate, ciliate. Thorax covered with scales and hairs, metathorax with tuft. Abdomen without tufts. 
Neuration of forewings normal; hindwings show vein 5 relatively thick, somewhat below the disco-cellular ner- 
vure, 6 and 7 with short stalk. Only 1 species: 
L. phenax Bours. (23 k). Head and thorax yellowish white, with faint reddish hue, abdomen grey-brown, phenax. 
Forewings rose-yellow, admixed with bluish. The anterior transverse line consists of 3 separated sectors. Clavi- 
form stigma short, quadrate, close below orbicular stigma. Central shade indistinct. The round orbicular stigma 
has a somewhat darker centre, reniform is indicated by a darker patch. The fine indistinct posterior transverse 
line is crenulate. Postmedian and subterminal areas are inclined to bluish grey, somewhat brownish before the 
apex. Subterminal line is absent, fringes are rose-yellowish. Hindwings brownish with darker marginal band 
and postmedian indicated. The $ is darker, somewhat of a bluish leaden grey, but varying in the depth of the 
leaden grey colouration. Hindwings completely brown. Wing expanse: $ 34, $ 36 mm. S. W. Morocco.

black markings are absent from fore wings, the dark inner edge of postmedian is also extinct, the only markings 
are the delicate surrounds of the stigmata and the two transverse lines. Lebanon (Aley) in October. 
Addenda to the Group of Forms of the Genus: Athetis m. 
The excellent revision of this very difficult group, which has been published by Boursest *) after years 
of painstaking research and after examination of all the available types, is deserving of careful attention. It 
is greatly to be appreciated that clarity and order have been created in these species after the chaos that, with 
the exception of 2 or 3 groups, has hitherto prevailed. Thanks to Mr. Bourses', it has been possible to illustrate 
the types of the species almost without exception. The following is the result: 
66. Genus: Hypostilbia Hmps. 
This Genus has to be entirely withdrawn, as 
H. megastigma Pglr. (Vol. 3, p. 205, pi. 48 c; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 174) proves to be synonymous with megastigma. 
Nonagria distracta Ev. (Vol. 3, p. 216, pi. 45 i; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 174). Further synonyms are: Athetis cinerea 
Alph. (Vol. 3, p. 216, pi. 48 d; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 182) and also Arenostola mollicella Pglr. (Vol. 3, p. 235). The 
species is a genuine Nonagria to be classified next to maritima Tausch. (Vol. 3, p. 238, pi. 48 e; Suppl. Vol. 3, 
p. 194). 
H. correpta Pglr. (Vol. 3, p. 205, pi. 42 f; Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 174) on the other hand is a genuine Proxenus correpta. 
that comes next to lepigone Msclrdr. (Vol. 3, p. 216), just as does bang-haasi Wgnr. (Suppl. Vol. 3, p. 174).
