erior. The forewings with yellow ground colour and even more heavily marked with black than the <$ of 
superans illustrated in Vol. 10, pi. 40 c with the exception of the hindwings which are milky white, with 
a dark marginal band. 
L. asoetria Him. Of this species which was dealt with in Vol. 10, p. 325, pi. 41 b, I have 2 BS be¬ 
fore me from Tze-ku in the British-Museum. Ground colour of forewings is pure white, hindwings yellow- 
grey with wide dark marginal band. As this specimen varies, we are illustrating same here (8 g). I do not 
consider it necessary to give a name. 
L. apicebrunnea sp. n. (8 g). $ both wings pure white. The inner line with a heavy spot on costa; 
it is excurved on upper wall of cell and on median nervure and strongly incurved in cell and on submedian 
fold, then very obliquely outwards to inner margin. Cell spot and angulated spot missing in this specimen. 
Outer line double, the outer branch very heavily dentate. Submarginal line broad and heavily dentate. Behind 
same from apex to vein 3 violet brown. Fringes with coarse black spots. Hindwings brownish from costa 
to vein 6. Fringes posteriorly with fine black spots. Body ochreous brown. 50 mm. Ta-tsien-lu. Type in the 
British Museum. — I have a specimen that looks very similar but is a deeper brown and seems to be close 
to baibarana Mats, but markings are somewhat rubbed. I am therefore desisting from a description From 
Tze-ku. 
19. Genus: Ocneria Hbn. 
0. terebinthi Frr. (Vol. 2, p. 131, pi. 21 b). stoetzneri Draes. is smaller than type. Wings are darker 
grey and more thinly scaled. Lines fainter, in very diffuse. Below base of vein 2 there is a dark streak, 
behind same and above vein 5 a dark shade. There are no red patches on palpi and head. Peking. —- (On 
pi. 21 b of Vol. 2 erroneously given as therebynthi instead of terebinthi.) 
0. poenitens Stgr. (Vol. 2, p. 132, pi. 21 c). This species was described as a form of signatoria Chr., 
but may be held to be a species. No doubt nisseni Rothsch. (8 k) belongs to same. The brown ground colour 
is more reddish than in poenitens and all markings are clearer. In the double submarginal line a few pale 
scales are interspersed. Also abdomen and hindwings are rather more reddish. Khenchela, Ain-Sefra (Algeria). 
— algirica Oberth. seems identical with the illustration of poenitens (Vol. 2, pi. 21 c) of which the author dis¬ 
approved but which corresponds to specimens in the Puxgeler Collection. If one does not consider it of im¬ 
portance that in algirica apparently the outer edge of the submarginal line is more clearly marked than 
the inner one (in nisseni both are equally heavy), then algirica and poenitens are evidently identical, whilst 
nisseni differs by its clearer markings. 
O. rubea F. (Vol. 2, p. 132, pi. 21 c). The form btunnea Rocci is a monotonous dark reddish brown 
instead of the normal reddish grey. As there is only a single ^ specimen it is difficult to say whether same 
is only an aberration or whether it represents the normal race at Genua. — obscura Bub. from the same 
district (Alassio) was described later, but need not differ on that account. Markings normal and ground 
colour of both wings dark reddish brown-grey. The light spot at end of cell on forewings contrasts distinctly 
from the dark ground colour. — The race hillmanni DM. from the S. Tyrol is grey-black (<J), red patches 
barely indicated, the dark bands diffuse, pale middle spot obsolescent. Nothing is said about the $. 
0. uniformis Rothsch. (8 g) is somewhat similar to jlavipalpata Stgr. Body and forewings cinnamon 
brown. Except for a small ruddy spot at lower angle of cell, there are no other markings. Hindwings cin¬ 
namon red. The only specimen before me has brownish white abdomen and hindwings. $ 38 mm. S. Algeria. 
0. flavipalpata Stgr. (Vol. 2, p. 132, pi. 21 b). We now have a description of the larvae of this 
species. They feed on the desert plant Acacia tortilis and are red-brown, the feet vermilion. On each seg¬ 
ment there is a white and black lateral tuft of hair . On dorsum on 4th and 5th segments there is a white 
cushion of hairs; on the 6th and 7th segments similarly a yellow cushion. On the last 2 segments blue 
markings with 2 red spots. On the last segment there is a grey-blue tuft of hair from which long greeny 
white hairs project, extending backwards. Similar hairs on the head. The locality, Libyan desert, is new. 
20. Genus: Ociierogyia Stgr. 
As the neuration of this Genus has not yet been described I am giving same now. In forewings vein 
formation is like Lymantria, but vein 7 arises somewhat later from the common stalk of 7 + 8 + 9, vein 
10 arises free from the cell and is somewhat bent at its base. In hindwings vein 3 arises nearer base of wing, 
so that it lies midway between 2 and 4, 8 approaches the cell somewhat later. Middle and hind tibiae with 
terminal spurs. Antennae of £ with short pectinations. 
0. amanda Stgr. (8 g). We are now illustrating the $ of this species' which was dealt with in Vol. 2, 
p. 133. It also suffices for the underside but there is still an ochreous streak on forewings from base below
