ORETA. By M. Gaede. Index and Reference of Palaearctic Drepanidae. 
Sicily, file head and abdomen are pure white, generally they are slightly dusky. All my specimens of asiatica 
from a variety of localities have a more or less silvery base to veins 2—5 on forewings, whilst in the only 
specimen I have from Eicuzza, this is not the case. Unfortunately this point is not touched on in the 
original description. The same form occurs occasionally in the south Tyrol in both generations, only in these 
the white hindwings have a faintly darkened margin. The name angelina DM. has been given to such speci¬ 
mens. — Around Terlan among otherwise quite typical glaucata specimens occur with not only dusky, but 
actually blackened hindwings, these have not yet been named. — In East Asia on the other hand the cen¬ 
tral band of forewings is well developed and transformed to eyespots with light and dark circumscription. 
iatsien- There are 2 names for these: the form tatsienluica Oberth. has apex fairly widely dark, the outer margin and 
luicu. tlie ent | re hindwing are white, only the terminus of cell of the latter is delicately black. — filipjevi Kard. 
filipjevi. (10 g as filipjeri) from Vladivostock has apex only faintly brownish, but 2 rows of brown spots at margin, 
of which the inner one forms a line in typical specimens. Hindwings are as dark as also sometimes occurs 
in typical specimens. 
14. Genus: Oreta Wlcr. 
thermidora. C. thermidora Hmps. Body and wings bright fuscous with numerous fine dark striations. A blackish 
submarginal line from below the apex to inner margin near anal angle, indistinct, incurved in centre, diffuse. 
Hindwings of similar colour with approximately 5 rows of indistinct small black spots, except in basal area. 
Underside with rosy suffusion. $ 28 mm. Japan.
