lunigera. The inner edge of this band projects sharply in the cell in the direction of the cell end. The outer 
idge of the middle band is incised below the costa and then projects in a point; this is more generally the case 
in the $ and the point is less pronounced in the q. At inner margin the band is much wider than usual in 
the $ on account of the absence of any incurving below median nervure. Submarginal spots as in malcliani. 
Abdomen and hindwings as in typical lunigera. Type: 1 $ from Tze-ku in the British Museum. 
Genus: Konoiila Mats. 
According to the author similar to Trichiuia. Neuration of forewings is not described. In hindwings 
veins 7 and 8 form a long fusiform cell, with a spur at base towards the costa. Outer margin of forewings 
somewhat undulate. 
pinivora. K. pinivora Mats. Forewings grey with brown markings. Subbasal line somewhat diffuse. Discal area 
brown with distinct outline. The inner edge obliquely outwards with a dentation inwards below the origin 
of vein 2. The outer edge obliquely outward below costa, bent at a right angle at vein 6 and direct in a slightly 
undulate line to inner margin. The spot at disco-cellular is white. Submarginal line is wide, diffuse and some¬ 
what undulate. Hindwings brown with diffuse pale band having a dark edge inwardly. 40—47 mm. Hokkaido. 
The larva feeds on Pinus pumila. This point establishes the correct classification of the species. 
Genus: Seitzia Scriba. 
Neuration and wing contour of fore wings similar to Selenephora. Veins 6 + 7 with short, 9 + 10 long- 
stalks, vein 8 from anterior angle of cell. Hindwings more like Epicnaptera with 2 incisions on costa. Antennae 
of E with very long pectinations. 
plumigera. S. plumigera Scriba (9 li). Forewings reddish brown. The inner line dark, delicate, incurved and sharply 
dentate. The outer line dark brown with white dots on veins, excurved below the cell and bent rectangularly 
at vein 9. Submarginal line undulate, with white edge in the type, bent inwards between veins 4 and 6. The 
maigin beyond same whitish from inner margin to vein 5. Hindwings reddish brown. On hindwings there may 
or may not be a vertical pale band. Ground colour varies in shade. A very pale red-brown specimen of this 
common species is named TaJcanea japonensis Marumo. The discal band of the type projects in the centre out¬ 
wardly and beyond same there is a broad white spot. In the $ illustrated there is a dark spot on costa and 
beyond same a little white. $ 42 mm. Shiobara and Nikko.

E. tremulifolia Hbn. (Vol. 2, p. 167, pi. 27 b). — The names lutescens Gloss and fulvescens Klem. denote 
more yellowish specimens. — Pale yellow-brown specimens are named flavescens Lenz. Similar specimens 
with pronounced bands are named fasciata Lenz, with obsolete or absent bands obsoleta Lenz and with heavy 
giey maigin gi isescens Lenz. The latter form is a transition to grisea Hof jin.'. ££ ^ almost grey, especially on 
abdomen and at margins of wings.” — pungeleri Schaw. is a 2nd generation in Bosnia. The is very faintly 
marked having a pale red-brown ground colour. The outer margin of forewings is reddish grey to almost milky 
white and on hindwings the median band and anal angle are of the same colour. — Among these specimens 
there was 1 q of almost red ground colour on fore wings with punctiform median and almost obsolescent outer 
band, hindwings and body red-brown: rubicunda Schaw. — pungeleri is somewhat like suberifolia. Similar speci¬ 
men.-) from Hungary have hitherto been erroneously (Vol. 2, p. 167) designated ambigua Stgr. The genuine 
ambigua (10 e) is now being illustrated. — Both the possible hybrids have been reared with ilicifolia L. tremuli- 
folia o X ilicifolia $ = veris Lenz of which only the $ is known. Forewing only varies from that of tremuli- 
folia by the darker grey apical area. Hindwing is very dark and the narrow pale band, inherited from ilicifolia, 
is well pronounced. Underside in colouration and marking more like ilicifolia. — The reverse cross is named 
aestatis Brack. The S resembles ilicifolia in colouration, but in marking it is more like tremulijolia. Body is 
yellow-red. The light discal spot of forewings is absent, the whitish grey patches are darker than Usually in 
ilicifolia. On hindwings the whitish median band is diffuse and thereby it resembles that of tremulijolia. Also 
on underside the moth resembles ilicifolia in colouration whilst the markings are those of tremulijolia. 
E. suberifolia Dup. (Vol. 2, p. 167, pi. 27 c). The normal form is yellow-grey. — rubescens Ebb. denotes 
a reddish form, which resembles tremulifolia in colouration. The shade of colour of our illustration of suberi¬ 
folia on pi. 27 c is midway between the two forms. 
E. albofasciata 0. B.-H. (10 a) approximately agrees in point of ground colour with tremulifolia, in 
marking with ambigua (10 e). In front of the outer row of dots there is a narrow fairly sharply defined light 
band, behind same only the area at anal angle is slightly paler. On hindwings the red-brown margin contrasts 
i ather more definitely with the pale median band and inwards of same there is a narrow dark transverse line which 
is clearer than in specimens of tremulifolia from Hungary or ambigua from Asia. $ 33 mm. Ili, Kuldja.
