EUCHARIA; EUPREPIA. By Dr. M. Draut. 
/ o 
faintly curved yellow transverse lines, at end of cell there are 2 clear black dots. Hindwings red with small black 
discal lunitle and 3 rows of irregular black submarginal dots. Head and thorax brown admixed with red. ab¬ 
domen red with brown dorsal line. Antennae red, thorax with dense woolly hairs. Wing expanse: 37 mm. 
Morocco (Saffi) in April. 
Ph. faroulti Rothsch. has a dark brown body admixed with grey hairs especially on collar and ends of 
tegulae; hindlegs yellow-white with scarlet tarsi. Forewings grey-brown with 5 bands of dark brown spots, 
the 1st oblicpie subbasal, the 2nd before centre interrupted below the cell; the 3rd in the centre consists of 
3 small spots at costa, on the median and at inner margin, beyond same a 4th oblique row of small dots along 
the veins between 6 and 1; subterminally there is still a diffuse band that is more or less confluent with 
a marginal band. Hindwings pale ochreous yellow with dark brown marginal band, a dark brown antemedian 
band from costa to below the cell and a band of spots from costa to the lower angle of cell. Wing expanse: 
34 mm. Bou Saada (Algeria). 
Pli. fuliginosa L. (Vol. 2, p. 79, pi. 16 b). — As synonym to flavescens Schultz there is: — flavidaOberth. 
— clara Sibille is based on a pale specimen with 5 black dots at outer margin of hindwings instead of mar¬ 
ginal band. In place of — fervida Stgr. (pi. 16 b) — lurida Rothsch. should be substituted, as there is a Ph. fer- 
vida Wkr. from Guatemala. In — totirubra Vorbr. there is no vestige of the black bands on hindwings, so 
that these and abdomen are all Unicoloured ruby. Switzerland. — pallida Rothsch. is a pale yellow reddish 
form suffused with pale carmine from Kuku-Nor and Kansu. Quite unnecessarily Strand has changed the 
name to thibetica as there is already a pallida Aigner, which however is a form of maculosa , which we classi¬ 
fied in the Genus Cletis Rmb. ; therefore thibetica should be withdrawn. — japonica Rothsch. has dull chocolate 
brown forewings dusted over with grey and pale carmine hindwings with wide black subterminal band. Japan 
(Yokohama). — kroumira Oberth. has only 2 small black spots at disco-cellular nervule on hindwings and no 
subterminal spots on the two folds and above the anal angle. Tunis. — melitensis 0. B.-H. (6 f) has very 
pronounced cell end spots on fore wings and in the $ 3 further black dots just before the apex. Hindwings 
pale carmine with heavy marginal spots, the cell end spot has the shape of a “7”. From Malta. — harterti 
Rothsch. is larger than ,kroumira and has deeper colour. Forewings a bright golden cinnamon-brown. Hind¬ 
wings deep salmon-pink with enlarged black spots. Wing expanse: 38 to 47 mm. From Morocco. Finally 
some pathological forms have been named: furcula Bryk with a very noticeable fork in the veins ex the upper 
angle of disco-cellular and — atropha Bryk in which the lowest of the 3 discal veins is atrophied.

E. casta Esp. (Vol. 2, p. 80, pi. 16 c). — nigrata Schultz is illustrated (6 f). — obscurior Oberth. deno¬ 
minates a 9 with adumbrated forewings. — preisseckeri Schaio. The black discal band is confluent with the 
base, basal area therefore black; marginal band of hindwings is wide. — unita Rostagno is probably identical 
with preisseckeri where the discal band converges with the black of the base; unita is the older name and has 
priority. — vittata Niep. has dark brown forewings with white postdiscal band. Marginal band of hindwings 
dark brown, double as wide as in typical specimens. — The alterations made in the denominations by Strand 
on the plea that the same names occur in other Genera, would seem to be superfluous, they are: roseana for 
rosea Oberth. (nec. Lorez) (Vol. 2, p. 446), obscurascens for obscura Oberth. (nec Lorez) and pseudoflavescens for 
flavescens Oberth. (nec. 0. Schultz). — The following races have been described: — centralasiae 0. B.-H. (6f). 
Ground colour of all wings pure white, rarely with roseate hue; markings are very constant in contrast to 
mid-european specimens, base and central band blacker than the brownish marginal band; specimens with 
interrupted central band ( mediodivisa ) have yet to be discovered. Hindwings rosy white with pale brown costal 
spots and narrow marginal band; in triangularis 0. B.-H. the costal mark of hindwings is triangular extended 
downwards to the cell. Juldus; Issykkul; Ili; Djarkent; Saisan. — sibirica Kozhant. differs from typical casta 
by the rose coloured (not white) hindwings, sometimes also the forewings have a roseate hue. Minussinsk.

E. rivularis Men. (Vol. 2, p. 80, pi. 16 c). We are illustrating a $ of the name type (6 g) from Helenen- 
dorf ex the collection of Sohn-Rethel. — dannehli Trti. ( Sohn-Rethel i. 1.) the form occurring in the South¬ 
ern Abruzzi in Italy differs from name type when shown in long series. It is generally somewhat larger and 
more heavily built, fore wings a purer white, costa brownish yellow, the black spots deeper black and larger; 
above all the thorax and collar are much more heavily marked with black, as also is the abdomen. — ab. 
connexa Dhl. has confluent spots on forewings, especially those in basal area which merge with those on costa, 
so that a wide triangle is created. — ab. marginata Dhl. In this the spots before the outer margin are confluent 
forming a black submarginal stripe. — posteripunctata Dhl. has black dots on the nervules at margin of hind¬ 
wings and a small black costal spot. The $$ are smaller than those of specimens from Asia and very variable,
