PubL 29. X. 1931. MILTOCHRISTA; — PAIDIA. By Dr. M. Draudt. 65 
11. Genus: Miltodirista fib. 
M. miniata Forst. (Vol. 2, p. 55, pi. lid, e). A number of aberrations have been named; we illustrated 
in the main Volume the colour variation — crocea (not “crogea”) Bign. (5 k) with pale yellow forewings with 
no trace of red, jlava Krul. is presumably the same. — virginea Delahaye seems to be a similar form with virginea. 
lemon-yellow forewings and very distinct black markings and almost pure white hindwings — deleta Hofer deletu. 
(= destrigata Dill, has no dentate transverse line in the disc and no basal strigula whilst the row of dots at 
margin is retained. From the S. Tyrol, Drautal and Vienna and probably occurring elsewhere. — fasciata fasciata. 
Rebel is a form in which the space between the transverse line and the outer row of dots is suffused with 
blackish whilst in — philippsi Gostantini the narrow discal area is blackened, the two central lines are closely philippsi. 
approximated and become confluent on discoidal nervure; instead of dots in the submarginal area it is marked 
with fine lines. From 1 $ from Regium. — confluens Lamb, is a form in which the dentate line is confluent confluens. 
with the marginal dots. — rosaria Btlr. is being illustrated afresh (5k). 
M. rufa Leech (Vol. 2, p. 56, pi. 12 c). 0. Bang-Haas would prefer to see this classified in the subsequent 
Genus Nrnlina Stgr., and it might quite well be placed there, as outwardly it closely resembles artaxidia Btlr., 
as will be seen in comparing our two illustrations (5 k). - ussuriensis 0. B.-H. (5 k) is not rose-red like the ussuriensis. 
Chinese name type, but of orange colour with a grey band extending from the 1st third of costa to the centre 
of the wing, merging with the wide antemarginal band. There are black dots in the interstices of the somewhat 
reddish margin. Hindwings orange-yellow with black marginal band. S. Ussuri (Sutshansk). — ab. flava 0. jlava. 
B.-H. is denominated from a straw coloured $ from the same locality. 
12. Genus: ATiiclinsi Stgr. 
N. artaxidia Btlr. (Vol. 2, p. 56, pi. Ilf). We are giving a fresh illustration (5k). 
13. Genus: Apaidia H.-Schdjj. 
A. rufeola Rbr. (Vol. 2, p. 57, pi. 11 f). The rather poor illustration of this rare insect is being supple¬ 
mented by a better one from a perfect specimen from Rome (Coll. Sohn-Rethel). (5 k). 
13a. Genus: Scliistophleps Hmps. 
Of this Genus which has been dealt with in Vol. 10, p. 129 and which comprises 10 indo-australian 
species, a representative has now been found in palaearctic territory in Japan. It is very close to Nudaria 
from which it chiefly differs by the very wide costal area with supplementary veins. Besides subcostal nervure 
6 is not stalked with 7 and 8 but rises below upper angle of cell and there is a No. 9 which is stalked 
with 10. 
S. bipuncta Hmps. (Vol. 10, p. 129, pi. 15 h). This delicate transparent insect with brownish yellow Mpuncta. 
lines and cell dots and which reminds one in its appearance of N. mundana L. (Vol. 2, p. 52) has also been 
found in Japan. 
15. Genus: I’aldia Hbn. 
P. murina Hbn. (Vol. 2, p. 57, pi. Ilf). — fuliginosa Reisser denominates the race from Sierra Nevada, fuliginosa. 
of dark grey ground colour like P. muscerda without any yellowish admixture; hindwings are scarcely any 
paler. conjuncta Shzo. (Vol. 2, p. 5/) is being illustrated here (5 1) and also the large white form — albescens 
Stgr. (5 1) from Syria. 
P. bodenheimeri sp. n. (5 k) reminds one somewhat of the form albescens Stgr. of the preceding species, boden- 
but it is only half the size and much more daintily built and more thinly scaled. Besides it can be immediately heimeri. 
recognised by the entirely different antennae, which in the are shortly pectinated, very dense and coarsely 
on dorsal side, scaled with brownish yellow, whilst in murina they are bluntly serrate with tufty cilia each with 
long pinnae. White; head and collar faintly suffused with brownish yellow, palpi black-brown. Costa of fore¬ 
wings black-brown to centre; arrangement of spots very similar to murina, but the spots are not so distinct and 
black, but more diffuse, very small and grey-brown, the large heavy spot in middle of cell is often only minute 
and diffuse; there is often a longitudinal streak of grey-brown in fold of cell, in fact all spots inclined to be 
distorted forming longitudinal streaks; a wide brown-grey spot is situate above close of cell. Hindwings devoid 
of markings. Described from 4 SS from Dilb near Jerusalem taken at light and kindly placed at our disposal 
by Dr. Fbitz S. Bodenheimer.
