of the 2 type in which on the hindwings the basal black is confluent with the lowest black marginal spot so 
that an isolated round red spot encircled by black is created at the anal angle, are named insulata Siegel - insulala. 
seminigra Schwing. has an almost completely black basal area, the marginal area is bright yellow with a few xemmifjra. 
minute black spots. — impunctata Hofer is a form in which the discal spot of forewings is almost entirely ab- 
sent . _ interrupta Schaw. is widely marked with pale patches, the long innermarginal streak is interrupted. inierrupta _ 
Bosnia._ fulva Fettig is a G form with vivid yellow-red hindwings and a transition to the form rufa. aurian- fulva. 
tiaca Schaw. is propably the corresponding $ form with orange-yellow or orange-red hindwings. — flavoradiata '"(ran tiaca 
Schaw has quite black hindwings with orange streaks through the cell and at inner margin. 1 o the hospita f[av() _ 
forms there are to be added — scalena Derenne with increased black on forewings, whilst hindwings show an ^ 
extension of white. — uralensis Krul. is similar to hospita with local characteristics, the black margin of hind- uralemiSt 
wings is reduced. Urals. — patruelis Jack, is similar, but the abdomen and underside of hindwings are yellow va truelis. 
with very minute black spots, on forewings the white spots are small. Also from the Urals. — stotznen 0. sibtznen. 
B.-H. (6 h) belongs to floccosa Graes. It has considerably reduced white markings on forewings ofS<$, the 
costal spot, apical spot and the transverse band extending to the anal angle are separate.; hindwings with wide¬ 
cell spot The $ has yellow hindwings with black basal area. Szechuan. sachalinensis Mats. (6 h) belongs ^ mnsis 
to the subspecies macromera with enlarged white discal spot, which is widely united with the inner margin. 
Very common on Saghalin. — araitensis Mats, from the Kurile Islands has black hindwings in the 2 with wide aroj cmi». 
orange-yellow marginal band with a black spot near the end in cellule 2.

northerly form which is distinguishable from the Swiss type by its more considerable size and deepei, bolder 
yellow markings, hindwings with yellow-white streak markings. — Integra DM. is a <$ form with completely Integra. 
black hindwings. Rare in the Glockner and Ortler territories. — pseudoliturata DM. (6 h as „falloui‘) is a $ vseu ^ rat 
form in which on the forewings the black stripes are more or less extinct, so that they appear as elongated 
streaklike dots; in extreme specimens there are only 2—3 dots at base of wings, a transverse row in central 
area and a submarginal row of dots in the interstices. Hindwings yellow with 3 central spots, a further one 
at apex and in the centre of outer margin. This latter form is named — gelpkei DM. From the Stilfser Joch gelpkei. 
and Piz Umbrail. — daisetsuzana Mats, resembles liturata in colour and markings; the streaks along the veins daisef ' su an 
and the sub marginal zigzag band are pale yellowish, hindwings dark, with pale yellowish spot in disc, so that 
the dark disco-cellular nervule is clearly marked. In the $ the markings are white. Hokkaido. H amps ox s 
classification of quenselii and cervini in 2 separate Genera is justified, as the two species are quite diffeient-ly 
built anatomically and are in no way closely related, quenselii belongs to Apantesis Wlcr. (on forewings vein 
6 rises below the upper angle of cell, 10 free out of the cell), whilst cervini belongs to Phragmatobia Steph. (6 
rises from angle of cell, 10 together with 7, 8 and 9 occasionally even more rise on a common stalk). Accord¬ 
ing to this Orodemnias could actually be withdrawn. 
0. cervini Fall. (Vol. 2, p. 82, pi. 16 g). — rougemonti 0. B.-H. is a form in which the ground colour rouge mon 
is ochreous as in hnatecki, but the markings are as bold and black as in the type form. From the Angstbord 
Pass (Valais). — hnatecki Frey has meanwhile been discovered in the Inner Getz valley near Vent. 
0. piingeleri 0. B.-H. (6 i) is a highly interesting discovery from the Sajan mountains, which is very pungeleri. 
close to cervini ; it is much larger and more sleekly built, the body being relatively small in comparison to the 
wide wings. Fore wings thinly scaled, black, markings in the same formation as in cervini but more distinctly 
and clearly outlined, the veins all daintily yet distinctly yellowish white. Hindwings grey-white in the type with 
3 marginal spots and a central spot below the cell, collar and tegulae edged with yellow. Body black w it h yellow¬ 
ish abdominal rings. The q has narrow ochreous costa and fringes and vivid ochreous yellow anal hairs, hind¬ 
wings with 3 large round submarginal spots and beyond same a narrow black marginal band which is extended 
inwards in a triangular dentation on vein 4. Obo Sarym, Munku Sarclyk, Mondy. Mr. 0. Bang-Haas veiy kindly 
sent me a number of varieties. — immaculata 0. B.-H. i. 1. has grey-white hindwings devoid of markings. - - immacu- 
flava 0. B.-H. i. 1. (6 i) has pale ochreous yellow hindwings. — bicolor 0. B.-H. i. 1. (6 i) denotes specimens with 
pure white markings on a jet-black forewing whilst the yellowish hindwings have a small black marginal spot bicolor.

48. Genus: Oroiiciis Seitz 
The .classification of the species of this Genus under that of Phragmatobia Steph. seems justified as there 
are no anatomical differences. 
0. tancrei Sigr. (Vol. 2, p. 83, pi. 16 h) is no doubt the same species as urania Pimg. (ibid.) which 
was described much later. During the last years a large number of specimens have been captured among which
