sharply outlined with white edges on upperside. Forewings hyaline with black margins, in the $ margin is 
wider, so that the longitudinal area is only faintly present at base. The outer area in <J is 5 partite, 
the fork between veins 7 + 8 is scaled; in $ it is rather more than 3 partite and shorter. The black outer 
margin has orange-yellow streaks between the veins. Hindwings hyaline. 22 26 mm. Macedonia. Pungeler 
had denoted the species as rangnowi, but never published the name, although specimens may have found then 
way to other collections under this name. 
Ch. powelli Le Cerf (16 h). Body black, patagia with yellow edges, an interrupted dark yellow central powelli . 
dorsal line. The 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th segments with white edges. Anal tuft somewhat yellowish. On under¬ 
side the 4th to 6th segments are predominantly yellow whilst in balcanica they are black. Forewings with well 
developed hyaline patches, the outer one extends almost to the outer margin. Underside of costa pale yellow. 
Hindwings hyaline. In the $ the 2nd and 4th segments are widely edged with yellow, the 5th and 6th nar¬ 
rowly. On forewings the hyaline patches are smaller, the longitudinal area is absent. At disco-cellular nervine 
there are no yellow scales as in the The species is described as a Dipsosphecia. We are giving as an illu¬ 
stration a figure of Chamaesphecia poivelli which appears to be the same species, same however has white belts 
on segments 2, 4 and 6. In other respects the two descriptions are identical. Morocco. 
Ch. stelidiformis Frr. (Vol. 2, p. 406, pi. 51 i). The form — amygdaloides Schleppnitz is very well de- amygdaloP 
scribed by the author and the variations exactly stated. It is about y 3 rd larger than the main type form from 
around Vienna. The black margins of the wings are more intensive and those of hindwings also wider. Costa 
of forewings is wider so that the vitreous cuneiform mark is reduced in size; also the outer hyaline area is 
smaller. The row of dots on abdomen is more pronounced. The larvae feed in Euphorbia amygdaloides. It 
occurs in N. E. Lower Austria. 
Ch. palustris Kautz. Very similar to stelidiformis Frr. (Vol. 2, p. 406, pi. 51 i) but larger. Antennae palustris. 
of both sexes blackish without the yellow or brownish markings of stelidiformis. Body inclined to be more 
golden brown, a yellowish white edge to the 4tlr abdominal segment and a similar dorsal line in cf, in with 
3 similar spots. Forewings hyaline, browm at margins, the disco-cellular nervure somewhat darker. In the $ 
the longitudinal area is also scaled, in the 0 however it is hyaline. 28 30 mm. Brack, Upper Austria. 
Ch. anthrax Le Cerf (16 i). Body deep black. Fore tarsi white, similarly the edge of 4th abdominal anthrax. 
segment and laterally the anal tuft. The 3 vitreous patches of forewing fairly large. 0 19 mm. Oran. 
Ch. a! nr ana Rbl. Similar to osmiaeformis H.-Schdff. (Vol. 2, p. 407, pi. 52 d) but the antennae of o almana . 
are longer and deep black. The 2nd, 4th and 6th segments of abdomen are edged widely with pale yellow. 
On forewings the longitudinal area is scaled with orange. Disco-cellular nervure of hindwings is widely black, 
also the margins. $ 18 mm. Arnanus mountains. 
Ch. montatudoni Le Cerf. Also similar to osmiaeformis. Antennae of C bronze-brown, ochreous white montandoni. 
on upper side before the tip, ochreous brown outwardly. Body bronze-brown, patagia with yellow-white edges. 
The 2nd and 4th abdominal segments with white edges, the dorsal line ochreous white, on underside all seg¬ 
ments have ochreous yellow edges. Both wings with blackish scales at base. On forewings veins and margins 
are bronze-black, before the outer margin there are white spots between the veins. lire outer hyaline area 
has a straight outer edge. On hindwings the veins are ochreous white on inner margin. In the $ the an¬ 
tennae are paler. On abdomen also the 6th segment has a white belt. Anal tuft is ochreous white in centre. 
On forewings the longitudinal area is less pronounced. 23—24 mm. Dobrudja, Ukraine. 
Ch. koshantschikovi Pnglr. (16 g). Similar to cirgisa Bartel. Palpi black, only delicately white in kosh 
centre. Antennae black. Thorax and abdomen black. Frons creamy white, patagia almost equally so, only 
still somewhat black at base of wing. At base of abdomen 2 white spots besides which there is a dorsal and 
lateral row. The 4th abdominal segment is delicately white, almost complete, forming an edge on upperside. 
Underside blackish, legs almost completely black. Forewings with very wide black margins. The longitudinal 
area is absent, cuneiform area and outer hyaline area short. In the black marginal area there are whitish scales 
between the veins which are more distinct on underside. Hindwings with relatively wide black margins. The 
disco-cellular nervure is also widely black, as also is the interstice between veins 2 and 3. £ 2(5 mm. Syr. Dar ja. 
Ch. rondouana Le Cerf. Body bronze-black, patagia with yellow edges. The 2nd, 4th and 6th abdominal rondouana. 
segments with delicate white edges, dorsal line yellow and interrupted. Anal tuft somewhat white in centre. V ings 
hyaline. In forewings the longitudinal area very narrow, the cuneiform area large. The vitreous patch beyond 
the cell elongated, behind same a narrow black border with yellow spots between the veins. Hindwings hyaline. 
On underside of forewings the yellow spots are more distinct, costa pale yellow. In the $ underside of ab¬ 
domen bears at end a row of yellow central spots. 21—24 mm. High Pyrenees. — In Vol. 2, p. 391 a Dips. 
(Cham.) rondoui Siepi is mentioned, which must be withdrawn. The type is a damaged specimen of Ch. chrysi- 
diformhs. 
Ch. kautzi Reisser. Similar to rondouana Le Cerf. Antennae and body chocolate brown with an oily kaidzi.
