(Strausberg) is probably the same. paucipuncta Gloss are specimens with reduced black spots. — radiata 
Gloss has the median nervure of hindwings heavily dusted with black in the shape of a prong and is denominated 
from a captured in the neighbourhood of Berlin (Strausberg). — fasciata Spul. denotes specimens in which 
the spots of the inner row are enlarged whilst those of the outer row form a line. 
E. alpestris Z. (Vol. 2, p. 60) (5 1) is according to the researches of M. Hering decidedly a separate 
species with a different genital apparatus and by no means a form of Jcuhlweini ; alpestris has also distinctly 
much heavier antennae than Jcuhlweini ; the individual sections are thicker at their extremities and separated 
from one another by deep grooves. The species is larger than Jcuhlweini and with brighter colour, the abdomen 
has heavier black bands. — ab. mutans DJil. like aurita-transiens and irrorella-signata has the spots of the 
two inner transverse rows conjoined by fine black streaks. 
E. aurita Sulz. (= compluta Hbn. 108, irrorella Sulz.) (Yol. 2, p. 60, pi. 11 1). — fuliginosa Blach. has 
wings suffused with blackish brown, the spots are grey-brown, not black. — catherinei Oberth. (= brunnea 
Heydem., fumosa Seitz) is a deep brown form, belonging to the form imbuta F, with black dusted veins, which 
however does not extend to the marginal dots, whilst this is the case in ramosa. Possibly — sagittataRdtz. 
(5 m) is a separate species, to which probably also — transiens belongs, as well as — transversa Vorbr. with 
conjoined transverse band in centre of forewings. — obliterata DM. is an extreme ramosa form with forewings 
so heavily blackened that only narrow yellow longitudinal streaks of ground colour are left; sometimes also 
there are delicate black rav-like streaks on hindwings extending from base and with heavier marginal spots. 
Described from 8 GS from the Stilfser Joch. — marginata Rocci from the southern slopes of the Simplon 
has scarcely any traces of the basal and central row of spots on forewings, whilst the marginal row is large, 
so that a band is almost created, this extends on hindwings almost to anal angle. — seminigra Rocci only 
retains the yellow at outer margin on both wings, the basal area is black and brownish extending from the 
veins. From Exilles. — semipunctata Rocci only has the submarginal row of spots on forewings, hindwings 
are unicoloured yellow. Piedmont. 
E. arterica Trti. (5 m) is larger than ramosa whilst otherwise outwardly it strongly resembles same; 
scaling is considerably denser, colouration intensive ochreous orange, in quite fresh and alive specimens 
with a faint violet sheen. Veins widely deep black, marginal spots very heavy, cuneiform, partly confluent. 
Hindwing spots similarly very large. Abdomen quite black without yellow bands but with a few ochreous 
orange hairs only at tip. — Larva with much longer hairs, deep red ventiically, upperside black-brown with 
bright chrome-yellow stripes. Genital apparatus differs from that of ramosa. According to recent researches 
it is probable that besides sagittata, also imbuta Him., pallens Mill and also ramosa F. are genuine species, 
which will be found to differ slightly in the genital organs from aurita, but the last word has not yet been said 
on this theme. 
21. Genus: Chlonnema H.-Schaff. 
C. alba Moore (Vol. 2, p. 61, pi. 12 a). — corea Strd. is a form discovered at Gensan (Corea) in which 
the apical portion of costa and the margin of fore wings are more widely coloured with scarlet and also the 
outer marginal area of hindwings is suffused with red. 
24. Genus: €)eoiiistis Hbn. 
0. quadra L. (Vol. 2, p. 63, pi. 12 d). — obscura Schaw. are BS from the N. Tyrol (Kufstein) in which 
the forewings, especially in central area are heavily adumbrated with blackish, only the basal area remaining 
yellow. — extensa Gloss established from a $ specimen from Berlin, but which also occurs no doubt elsewhere, 
with the metallic blue spots of forewings considerably increased in size and extended lengthwise. — de- 
pauperata Henriot (= insolata Dhl.) are <$<$ specimens in which the metallic blue-green costal streak at 
base of forewings is absent; the form is generally paler than usual and besides the adumbration of outer 
area is almost entirely absent, also that on costa of hindwings. This form was first observed among speci¬ 
mens from France (Gironde) but later has also been described from the S. Tyrol. — luteomarginata Lamb. 
from Belgium are similar specimens in which the adumbration of the outer area is missing, it is unicoloured 
yellow. 
26. Genus: Agylla WJcr. 
A. holochrea Hmps. (Vol. 2, p. 64). We are giving an illustration of this species (6 b). 
A. stotzneri Draes. is very close to A. ramelana Moore (Vol. 10, p. 200, pi. 15 i) from Sikkim etc., 
but forewings are not white but yellow-grey with a brown-black spot on costa just beyond centre and a 
second one between veins 1 and 2. Hindwings white with darker apex and outer margin. Head, thorax and 
abdomen, costa of forewings from base to the black spot are more or less grey to whitish. Fringes of forewings 
yellow-grey, of hindwings white. A large brown spot on underside of forewings that covers nearly the entire
