ing the red on hindwings and underside. — ab. gtisea Closs with grey-brown instead of red-brown forewings, grisea. 
— ab. ollivryi Oberth. is a very remarkable aberration, which gives the impression of being a hybrid. The blue- ollivryi. 
black ocellus of hindwing is replaced by a buff-brown patch, on which the dark brown veins stand out clearly. 
Also forewing markings are absent except for a few spots. Locality is the lower Loire. 
S. planus Wkr. (Vol. 2, p. 245, pi. 38 e). Larva differs from that of ocellata chiefly by the venomous planus. 
green horn, spiracles red-brown, oblique stripes yellowish instead of white. Pupa differs from that of ocellata 
by a faint ivory-like gloss. The end point of the cremaster spine is about double as long. — f. clarissimus clarissl- 
Mell (12 e) is the north Chinese spring form, of which Mell gives the following characteristics: pale markings mU: 
on both sides of wings, pure white to ,,tilleul buff“, the subapical pale spot of forewings more sharply out¬ 
lined on upperside than the postdiscal. Also on underside the paler patches are clear, especially the subapical 
spot and postdiscal band, which extends to inner margin; a whitish streak from 2nd radial to inner margin almost 
equally distinct; on hindwings the inner silvery patch on costal margin is very clear, the postdiscal band 
not so distinct as on forewings. — subsp. alticola Clark from Lungtan, N. China, is a dwarf form, expanse alticola. 
of forewings <$ 23 mm, $ 26 mm. Upperside of fore wings is a cinnamon brown, yellowish grey, markings less 
distinct, ground colour paler than the type form. The red of hindwings is reduced and not so bright. 
19. Genus: Amorplia Ky. 
A. populi populi L. ( Vol. 2, p. 245, pi. 38 e). — ab. schSngarthi Closs has no central band on forewings, schongarthi. 
but 5 sharply dentate transverse bands. — ab. angustata Closs with very narrow central band on forewings, angustata. 
— ab. flavomaculata Mezg. has yellow-brown basal spots on hindwings instead of red-brown. —ab. philiponiHuard flavomacu- 
is probably identical with ab. pallida Tutt. — subsp. philerema Djakonov from Bokhara is smaller than populi ^ laia - 
and has ochreous ground colour, the rusty patch on hindwings is absent. Bands faint (this form is presumably vhlletema - 
identical with A. amurensis Stgr., or at all events a subspecies of the latter). — populi austauii Stgr. (Vol. 2, 
p. 245, pi. 39 a) ab. brunnea Huard from Algeria is dark brown and gives the impression of an oily specimen; brunnea. 
markings diffuse, especially on hindwings. 
20. Genus: Hacmori’fiagia Grt. 
H. tityus L. (Vol..2, p. 248, pi. 40 a) ab. reducta Closs has in place of the wide black abdominal belt on reducta. 
upperside only a narrow streak (only one segment is black).—ab. ferrugineus Steph. has hyaline parts of wings ferrugineus. 
suffused with rusty yellow. — subsp. aksasia LeCerf from Morocco is larger than type form, about as large as alcsana. 
fuciformis. The green of thorax is less yellowish. On fore wings the grey basal area is more extended, marg¬ 
inal band blackish. 
H. fuciformis L. (Vol. 2, p. 248, pi. 40 b). — In ab. circularis Steph. the abdominal belt is black like circularis. 
in heynei Bartel , but wider and intersected by two grey-white silvery glossy semicircles. — ab. rebeli Anger rcbeli. 
shows an increase in the pale red-brown scaling. On fore wings and hindwings the margins are very wide, 
the spot at disco-cellular of forewings is extended to beyond the cell. On hindwings the olive-green basal 
area is edged outwardly by a wide pale red-brown transverse band with a diffuse outer edge. In conse¬ 
quence and in conjunction with the wide margin, the hyaline area is much reduced. In ab. musculus Wgn. musculus. 
all the usually olive-green patches are reddish grey. — subsp. jordam" Clark from Morocco is larger and darker jordani. 
than european specimens and has dentate marginal areas on fore and hindwings. The cell is more filled out.

green forewings. The 2 red abdominal belts very dark red, the 2 anterior segments being black-green, 
ab. rangnowi Closs from the Kalmuck Steppes (Volga) has very narrow red-brown marginal bands to forewings, rangnowi. 
Hindwings are extraordinarily small and pale without any darker margin. The last abdominal segments are 
sulphur yellow, the anal tuft is velvety black without any red central mark. On underside the red belts 
have a yellow spot in centre. 
21. Genus: Clcplionories Hbn. 
C. hylas L. (Vol. 2, p. 249, pi. 40 d and Vol. 10, p. 544). — According to Mell the full grown larva hylas. 
tapers off towards the front, it is either a delicate green or yellow, an autumn specimen being pale rose-red; 
head devoid of markings; pronotum bulging in a collar, densely covered with yellow, rarely with white,
