beyond same a transverse row of 5 spots separated by the veins. There is then a wide black discal band formed 
of 5 conjoined spots, constricted below the cell; postdiscally there are 4 spots of which the 2nd below the costa 
is the largest. In front of the smoky brown margin there are 10 spots conjoined and forming a band, all these 
spots are edged with yellow and between veins 4 and 6 and 2 and 3 they touch the margin. Also the costa 
is yellow. Hmdwmgs yellow with black marginal band and a basal black longitudinal streak to vein 2 where 
it unites with another streak which extends to costa; a small black spot at cell end. Body black-brown ab¬ 
domen with yellow rings. Extent of fore wings: 13 mm. Great Atlas, Morocco in May.

C. maculosa Gem. (Vol. 2, p. 78, pi. 14 f). It was erroneously atecl in Vol. 2 that the specimens illus¬ 
trated were from Frankfurt whilst Gerning especially remarked that the specimens presumably were from 
\ lenna but were only diagnosed m Erankfurt. — A great number of unimportant aberrations have'been named 
meanwhile: for forms with yellow hmdwings — flava Spul. can claim priority and there are the following svno- 
nyms: — cathlava Th.-Mieg and flavescens Oberth.- Strand quite unnecessarily wishes to alter the name ml- 
hda Aign. into palhdula, similarly paucimaculata Oberth. (Vol. 2, p. 446) into dignensis Strd — rosina Oberth 
are specimens with forewmgs suffused with rose. — punctata Kraml. has no discal spot on hindwings. — rischeri 
Kraml. has discal and costal spots absent on hindwings. — circummaculata Kraml. has the 2 costal spots of 
hindwings conjoined with discal spot forming a ring. — fasciata Kraml. has the basal costal spot of hindwings 
extended forming a band which almost reaches to inner margin. — mediorosea Kraml. has red streaks or spots 
along the veins on the clay-yellow or grey hindwings. — magnifica Kraml. has the black spots of hindwings 
edged narrowly but very pronouncedly with yellow on the red ground. — grisea Kraml. has grey instead of 
led hmdwings. — subnigra Kraml. has ground colour of all wings suffused with black, as if covered by soot 
so that the red looks like deep purple. — clarimarginata Kraml. has ground colour of forewings adumbrated 
in basal and discal areas whilst the outer area contrasts sharply by its paler colouration. All these last named 
ionns were bred from larvae from the heaths around Neusiedlersee. — We are illustrating the form stertzi Schultz 
(b f) and also lmmaculata Oberth. (6 e) from a fine specimen with sparsely spotted forewings and hindwings 
devoid of spots; in the State Museum of Munich. — kindervateri Schaw. has jet-black markings on grey-brown 
forewmgs, hindwings are almost completely black and show only a small dull rose spot in disc. Described from 
bruck on the Leitlia. — Of the characteristic form: latina Trti. (Vol. 2, p. 78, pi. 14 g) we are illustrating (6 e) 
a fine specimen of the rare <j>, and the J. Strand classifies this form under mannerheimi Dup. (Vol. 2, p. 78. 
•li U S ] n ) luS catalogue ’. but 1 consider the latter to be a genuine species. — marsicana Dhl. (6 f) are espec¬ 
ially pale latina with quite pale whitish rose ground colour with a tinge of yellowish, richly and often ex¬ 
tensively spotted with black; hindwings also are very pale, much interspersed with yellow and with spot mark¬ 
ings varying to an extraordinary degree; this is a mountainous race from the Montagna Grande at an altitude 
of 1000—2000 m, occurring just after the snow has dissolved in April and May. — sojota Tschetv. is verv 
similar to dahurica (Vol. 2, pi. 14 f) but has much deeper chestnut-brown coloured forewings; south of the 
bajan mountains, at the Irbeck river; Minussinsk. — insularia Kozhant. is a much smaller form forewings 
of the colour of simplomca but more heavily spotted, the spots short, angular, almost quadrate and not elon¬ 
gated as m the reticulata forms; hmdwings delicate rose with very heavy black spot marking. 9 much darker 
red-brown with bright red hindwings. From the Tagarskij Island near Minussinsk.

* n ilis Supplement II of the Cat. Lep. Phal. Hampson combines the Genera: Hyperborea Gr Grsh 
Owncus Seitz : and Micrarctia Seitz together under Phragmatobia ; besides breveti is now also placed here As 
Trichosoma Rmb. (not Oberth.\) is pre-occupied (Vermes Rud. [1819]) we follow the same classification as 
Hampson and include breveti here. The other 3 Genera we leave as before, so as to facilitate reference with the 
mam Volume.

'Y* gS ' T occidentalis Rothsch. (= emmanueli Oberth .) is held by Hampson to be a genuine species. The spots 
of forewmgs are not edged with yellowish, fringes and abdomen are deep yellow, the latter with a brown dorsal 
strrpe. V. mg expanse: 34 mm. from Mazagan and Mrassine (Morocco). The larvae feed on Smilax and Asparagus. 
h. powelli Oberth. (Vol. 2, p. 446, pi. 56 k) resembles breveti, but the spots of forewings are elongated 
and not round and have no yellow edges. Forewings are rosy yellowish brown with 4 rows of black spots. Hind¬ 
wings pale carmine with black spots in centre of cell and at end of same and a marginal band which does not 
extend to the anal angle. Thorax rosy brown, admixed with black, tegulae with black spots. Abdomen pale 
red-brown with a dorsal row of black diffuse spots. Antennae somewhat shorter and coarser than in breveti. The
