C. confusalis H.-Schdff. (Vol. 2, p. 47, pi. 10 f). — fuscocurvata DM. is an aberration with wide sinuated fusco- 
transverse band with black-brown centre, bordered by strikingly outstanding edges. Described from S. Tyrol. cnrvm 
C. centonalis Him. (Vol. 2, p. 47, pi. 10f)(5i). We are giving a fresh illustration of both sexes owing to the 
indistinct illustration in main Volume. — ab. fasciata Rebel has an outstanding dark central band. — fumosa fasciala. 
Berger (= spitzi Schaw.) is quite uniformly cloudy brown in contrast to the pure white atomosa (Vol. 2, p. 47, fumosa. 
pi. 10 f). The 3 tufts of scale appressions are clearly visible. From around Vienna. — holsatica seems to be a holsaiica. 
separate race. Nicely marked with more pointed apex to forewings, hindwings with a fairly large shaded band 
before the margin from 4 / 5 ths of the costa to closely before the anal angle, which is absent in name form. It 
occurs on the Luneburger Heaths to Holstein; very typical specimens are before me from Worpswede ex the 
collection of Sohn-Rethel. 
0. cristatula Him. (Vol. 2, p. 48, pi. 10 f) (5 i). — kindervateri Schaiv. has forewings suffused with smokey 
brown, only before the dark margin there is a fine white line. From Lower Austria (Piesingtal). — praetexta 
Ohret. is a form described from S. France with pure white forewings with very delicate but clear and sharply 
distinct markings. 
C. subchlamydula Stgr. (Vol. 2, p. 48) (5 i) is certainly a genuine species and not a form of cristatula- 
It has more elongated forewings with more oblique outer margin, is larger and decidedly more sleekly built; in 
consequence of the different shape of the wings, the antemedian runs more obliquely and at the same time is 
straighter; forewings not by any means darkly suffused; incrassation of scales at close of cell densely white. 
Hindwings paler than in cristatula. — infantula Kitt is smaller with still paler forewings and almost extinct 
darker central band with very sharply distinct black dots in the subterminal. Probably a genuine race from 
Corsica. 
C. kruegeri Trti. (5h) of which a specimen was kindly lent to us by Count Turati for illustrative 
purposes, is placed between the former and thymula. Fore wings long, pointed and relatively narrow, pale ash- 
grey, incrassations of scales in centre and at close of cell densely brown; transverse lines of same form as in 
cucullatella, the outer one widely shaded with brown inwardly; marginal area as in subchlamydula \ fringes grey 
with brown dots basally. Hindwings ashy grey with faintly indicated cell dots reflecting through. Sardinia 
(Cagliari) at the beginning of April. 
C. parvula Ohret. is very close to centonalis but smaller, with yellowish white forewings with a heavy 
and distinct spot in disc on underside of fore wings. Fore wings peppered with ochreous brownish especially in 
subterminal area; the basal quarter of costa is brown, transverse lines delicate, white, the middle one widely 
shaded with brown forming a transverse band peppered with black; 2 black incrassations of scales, the 1st at 
the inner line, the 2nd in the central shade at close of cell; in front of the margin an undulate white subterminal 
and behind same a brown spotted marginal line. Hindwings white with brown cell spot. From Biskra. - 
Larvae are greenish or yellowish grey with wide silvery white dorsal line edged with brownish yellow. Subdorsal 
line is dark brown with warts of the ground colour. They feed on Heliotropium, He! i an them u rn and Rumex 
hiding on underside of leaves and pupating in a boat-shaped cocoon. 
C. chlamitulalis Him. (Vol. 2, p. 48, pi. 10 f). — lathonialis Mill, is a very large form with dark brown lathonialis. 
central band which contrasts with the pure white postmedian. Barcelona. 
C. euphaea Hmps. (6 a). Body grey peppered with brown; forewings grey-brown densely peppered euphaea. 
with brown and black with faint traces of an oblique inner line, the appression of scales in centre of and at 
end of cell is black-brown; elbowed line is black with fine dentations, curving inwards under vein 3; a fine dark 
line at margin. Hindwings grey-brown with dark marginal line. W. China (Moupin). 
C. squalida Stgr. (Vol. 2, p. 48, pi. 10 g). Of this small species that is subject to such great variations squalida. 
a specimen from Egypt is illustrated which is white with dark bands and very different from the illustration 
in the main Volume. Wings of same were too acutely pointed. To the synonyms we have to add: ( = pumila 
Snell., grisescens Rothsch.) and to remove: desmotes Turm. 
0. innocua Btlr. (Vol. 2, p. 48, pi. 10 g) is not synonymous with — costimacula Stgr. from Amur; in the costima- 
name form there are rusty brown costal spots on the anterior and posterior transverse lines to the inner margin, Clda 
these are absent in costimacula-, the illustration in the main Volume refers to the latter. — japordbia Strd. japonibw. 
(= subsp. 1 Ramps.) is the japanese form in which the inner line is less angulated below the cell. 
C. thymula Mill. (Vol. 2, p. 48, pi. 10 g); we are giving a better illustration here (5 i). 
5a. Genus: Mitaisola Mats. 
Differing from Roeselia by the long upstanding palpi; antennae filiform, not ciliate. Scapulae with 
upright hairs. On forewings veins 4—6 arise from the disco-cellular nervule in equal distances, otherwise the 
same as Roeselia, viz: veins 7 —10 arise stalked. Only one species:
