PSEUDOFENTONIA; HOPLITIS; ME GAGER AMIS. By M. Gaede. 
F. sordida Wilem. This species is dealt with in Vol. 2, p. 292 and Vol. 10. p. 624 under Pseudo- 
fentonia, where it shoud be placed. The name sordida is cpiite correct in itself, but the rules of zoological 
nomenclature demand an alteration. For specimens from Formosa (Vol. 10, p. 624) the oldest name variegata 
Wilem. should prevail; it is a question of opinion, whether one separates formosana Wilem. from same and 
even whether a separate name is justified. For Japanese specimens, in place of sordida (Vol. 2, p. 292) the new 
japonensis. name of var. japonensis Tams is introduced. 
fasciata. F. fasciata Filipj. Forewings grey, basal half darker, marginal line (outer line) indistinct. Fringes 
grey and blackish. A spot at disco-cellular. Only traces of the scaly spot on inner margin, however the 
type is not a perfect specimen. Hindwings white with black scales at costa, a black spot at anal angle. 
The illustration of Drym. mandschurica in Vol. 2, pi. 49 b gives a fair impression of what this species looks 
like. $ 42 mm. Sutschan. 
abraama. F. abraama Schaus. Forewing pale buff-grey at base with a fine pale brown line. Subbasal and 
inner line fine, undulate, parallel, olive-grey, excurved at inner margin, the intermediate space being paler olive- 
grey. Median area whitish with pale brown interspersions. These are especially dense below vein 2 and 
towards the anal angle. A small white spot at disco-cellular. A brown shade posterior to cell and from 
vein 4 to costa. Outer line double, fawn, only distinct at costa. An irregular smoky brown shade with outer 
grey edge from costa before the apex to vein 4, partially edged with black lines, extending narrowly to vein 1. 
Hindwings dark grey-brown. d 50 mm. Szechuan. 
cantiana. F. cantiana Schaus. Forewings brown with blue-white scales, except in outer area. Lines delicate, 
black-brown and indistinct. Traces of an inner line and a streak at disco-cellular. Two outer lines, widely 
separated at costa, converging under vein 4, thence parallel and undulate. The lunules of the outer line edged 
outwardly with white between veins 3 and 1. Hindwings a rich brown. Fringes of both wings white. 
S 55 mm. Szechuan. 
eingana. F. eingana Schaus. Forewings brown-grey at base with black basal line, which is curved outwards 
to over vein 1. Posterior to same a single fine dull brown parallel line and 2 inner lines, which are approxim¬ 
ately vertical. The median area in the cell and below same to the inner margin and below vein 2 to the 
outer margin, pale smoky grey with dark striations. At disco-cellular there is a fawn line wdtli paler edges, 
posterior to same an iron-grey spot between veins 4 and 6 which has an outer black edge. Conjoining to 
same the outer line, double, black, dentate, excurved from veins 4—2. Margin olive-grey with a separating 
line that, is grey-brown and uniformly curved. Hindwings smoky grey with dark median shade and dark 
veins. Antennae well pectinated. Veins 6 + 7 of hindwings with long stalk. The species may therefore in 
consequence actually belong to the Urodonta Stgr. d 29 mm. Omeishan in Szechuan. 
Genus: P.seiiclofeiitonia Strd. 
This Genus has been fully dealt with in Vol. 10, p. 624. 
sigmata. P. sigmata Btlr. This species was enumerated in Vol. 2, p. 313 under the Genus Phalera, but it should 
be transferred to this Genus. Eventually use can be made of the name Mesophalera Mats, on account of 
certain minor differences. 
deliana. P. deliana sp. n. (15 c). The formation of the antennae and neuration agree quite well with Pseudo- 
jentonia (compare Vol. 10, p. 624, Group II). In the other species however the pronounced tuft at end of 
thorax is missing. The general impression is like that of Drym. delia (Vol. 2, p. 297. pi. 45 d). Thorax and 
forewings grey-brown. The tip of tuft on thorax blackish. A dark brown inner band is indicated, but only 
in its anterior part. At disco-cellular there is a short black streak. The outer line commences at - yds of 
costa and proceeds inward to vein 4. There it is more distinct and extends along vein 4 outwards and then 
continues rather more faintly. At vein 3 it again projects in a point as at vein 4. Thence obliquely inwards 
to under vein 2, forming a black point there and below same it diffuses outwardly. Posterior to the line 
from costa to vein 4 and at the point at vein 2 there is a dusky brown adumbration. Submarginal line 
interrupted. Posterior to same black marginal dots. Abdomen and hindwings pale reddish brown. d 36 mm. 
Corea. Type in the Pungeler collection. 
10. Genus: Hoplitis Him. 
H. milhauseri F . (Vol. 2, p. 292, pi. 45 a), aSbida Pfeiffer from Anatolia differs materially from european 
specimens. The ground colour of thorax and forewings is a much paler dove-grey. The dark markings on the 
other hand are deep black, not brown. Hindwings pure white, anal spot jet-black. — umbrosa Stgr. which 
was dealt with in Vol. 2, p. 292 as a form of milhauseri, is probably a separate species. This is especially 
noticeable in some very finely marked specimens, which I have before me from Sei-shin, Corea. 
Genus : Me gaceramis Hmps. 
Antennae of d pectinated and fasciculate. Palpi short, almost hidden in the hairs of the thorax. 
Thorax with porrect double tuft or crest. Forewings boldly excurved on inner margin at base, similar to the
