tJTETHEISA; OCNOGYNA. By Dr. M. Draudt. 
traces of the longitudinal stripes are present before the outer margin, but even these can be absent- fringes 
isochroma, checked with black. — isochroma Bubacek are extremely white specimens quite devoid of markings. — brunnea 
munnea. Seisser are brownish grey with faint markings and without a trace of white. Limited to Corsica. 
Ubyssa. C. libyssa Pung. ( = powelli Oberth.) (Vol. 2, p. 72, pi. 13 i) (6 c) is not in any way connected with the 
previous species. The remarkable bronze-black costa separates it definitely from cribraria. It is more grace¬ 
fully built. Eorewings grey on upper and undersides, hindwings darker on upperside, paler on underside; 
head yellow, collar with 2 black dots as have also the scapulae. Abdomen yellow with black ringlets, legs yellow- 
grey. The $ has more pointed forewings, white on upperside, with deep black streak on costa/ very finely 
peppered with blackish in centre of wings. Hindwings grey-black with white fringes. Head and thorax white. 
punctata, abdomen yellow with black spots on upperside, whitish below. Algeria. — punctata Oberth. (Vol. 2. p. 72, 
pi. 13 i) (6 c) has 3 rows of black dots on grey forewings and is illustrated here once more. Besides occur- 
harotdi. ring in Algeria it is found in Sicily. — liaroldi Oberth. (pi. 13 i) has uppersides of forewings white with 5 trans¬ 
verse rows of black dots, of which one at base, the 2nd and 3rd in central area, the 4tli subterminal and 
5th at margin are angular, besides it has a black basal spot and another one between 1st and 2nd row. 
caligans. Hindwings black on upperside. Algeria. — caligans Trti. (6 c, d) is a large form from fairly high altitudes 
m Sicily (Aetna). It has paler or darker bronze-brown forewings with much darker hindwings. Head yellow, 
body as the wings, abdomen more yellowish with black dots on the last segments. Eorewings with fine 
black lows of dots. In the 2 the ground colour is much paler, yellowish white. 
romeii. 
lionvillei . 
C. romeii Sagarra (6 d). Eorewings of ivory-yellow peppered with dark brown and without further 
markings, a dark brown streak along costa gradually expanding towards apex, costa itself orange-yellow, also 
innei margin, fringes similar but paler. Upperside of hindwings dull reddish ochreous, somewhat darker along 
the veins and towards apex, a dark spot at end of cell; base of fringes brown, extremities yellowish. Under¬ 
side reddish ochreous, brown posteriorly. Vertex, frons and palpi orange-yellow, both the latter admixed with 
black; thorax yellowish peppered with blackish; abdomen orange on upperside with black spots, ivory-yellow 
on underside. I he $ is much smaller and more stumpily built, fore wings much paler and only sparsely peppered 
without the dark costal streak; hindwings dark brown at anal angle, yellow at inner margin; it is incapable 
of flight and sits on the grasses, whilst the fly in the daytime in the sun. — The young larva resembles 
the cribraria larva according to Predota. When full grown it is brown with darker to black dorsal hairs, 
lateral lines and hairs orange; on underside paler and head glossy black. Up to May on low growing plants'; 
Pupa in a frail cocoon in which the larva rests for 2 months before changing. Albarracin (Spain). 
C. lionvillei Le Cerj replaces striata which does not occur in Morocco. $ not yet known. $ with somewhat 
deformed wings and very heavy abdomen. Forewings brownish yellow with a black spot at base of costa, 
- spots at angles of cell and a fine streak below the costa from centre of cell to apex; hindwings somewhat 
paler with diffuse longitudinal streak in cell and between veins. Wing expanse: 20,5 mm. Middle Atlas. 
33. Genus: Utetlieisa Hbn. 
flava■ U. pulchella L. (Vol. 2, p. 73, pi. 13 k). — flava O. B.-H. is a form in which the red of the patches 
is changed to yellow. Originally described from N. India (Darjeeling) as not palaearctic but meanwhile recorded 
arcuata . by Sohn-Bethel as occurring at Capri. — arcuata Oberth. represents an asymmetrically marked specimen 
in color , in which the black dots are confluent forming more or less complete arcuate transverse lines. — bicolor Oberth. 
are specimens on which all the black spots are absent, the forewings have only red markings on white ground. 
Occurs as an aberration in all localities. 
40. Genus: Ociiogyua Led. 
0. Corsica Rbr. (Vol. 2, p. 7(5, pi. 14 a). - In place of the name rosacea Spul. (ibid., pi. 14 a) the older 
rosea, name should be superseded: — rosea Mill. 
adaena ■ 0. pieretti Rbr. (\ ol. 2, p. 7(3, pi. 14 a). For this the older name: — adaena F. should be reinstated. 
pallida . — pallida Rothsch. has very pale forewings, hindwings grey-white, not yellow or orange; the 2 is impure grev 
not black. From Tunis. ‘ 
ilbescen.fi. O. baetica Rbr. (Vol. 2, p. 76, pi. 14 b). — albescens Oberth. is the form from Algiers designated as 
mendionalis Seitz in Vol. 2 in which also on forewings white is by far the predominant colour. Probably this 
name should be withdrawn in favour of meridionalis as it was only given in 1917. Also occurs in Andalusia. 
v r,eta - y prieta Ribbe in contrast are specimens in which the entire upper side of forewings and almost the entire 
ramburi. hindwings are black-brown. From Andalusia. — ramburi Oberth. has the white colour of forewings reduced 
to a short longitudinal band in the basal half of the submedian fold and a small subcostal spot before the 
centre. Hindwings with only a little white near the base; an unnecessary denomination of a slight variety 
forming a transition to prieta.
