STYGIA; ZEUZERA; AZYGOPHLEPS; PHRAGMATAECIA. By M. Gaede. 
SUXiCOla - , , saX j C « ,a ° hrist - is similar to the preceding species, but considerably larger. Ground colour 
of forewmgs of yellowish, the diffuse brown band is straighter than in emilia and the brown anterior mark 
is absent, Hindwmgs are much darker than in emilia. 30 mm. Transcaucasia. 
D. kruegeri Trh. Body dark olive brown. Forewings somewhat paler than the body and with yellow 
veins. Hind wings a shade paler still, the veins scarcely stand out at all. In the £ markings of forewings are 
somewhat more diffuse, the hindwings inclined to be darker and the veins are also scarcely any paler 30—35 mm 
The generic name of Isoceras Trti. is proposed for this species, as the antennae of the $ are similarly pectinated 
as m the cJ. Also the arrangement of the markings differs considerably from that of the other Dyspessa species

S. ledereri Stgr. (Vol. 2, p. 428, pi. 55 k) 
In this Volume Dieida persa Strd. was erroneously dealt with 
on p. - under the Zygaenidae. persa differs from ledereri by its legs. It has black legs; middle tibiae and tarsi 
ai e golc en yellow. In ledereri the legs are black, tarsi somewhat grey. Besides persa is somewhat larger. Whether 
the denomination is justifiable, is a matter of opinion, persa has been discovered by Pfeiffer" and Daniel 
also m Marash and they have established its relationship with ledereri. 
9. Genus: Zeuzera Latr. 
Z. pyrina L. (Vol. 2, p. 429, pi. 52 g). — paulomaculata Stick. (16 b) is a $ that has only very few 
spots Oil forewmgs. These few however are generally very large. — octopunctata Bsd. is a dwarf form from 
Sicily. Besides the usual 6 spots on thorax it has 2 further spots at base of abdomen. — ab. conflua Schultz 
has the spots of forewings enlarged and partially conjoined to a fairly wide extent, especially at inner margin 
On the other hand m a $ specimen in the Pungeler collection the spots are heavily confluent between vein 
- and the costa, less so at inner margin.

•n p n US ( T eiuls ’ that 1S distributed m numerous species over the indian and african territories, is dealt 
v i l ully m Vol. 10 p. 821 and Vol. 14, p. 544. It differs theoretically from Zeuzera chiefly by the absence 
of the bar between the cell and vein 8 of hindwmgs. The markings on the other hand are so very different 
that the two Genera can scarcely be mistaken for one another. 
A. albofasciata Mr. (Vol. 10, pi. 97 e). This species is chiefly an indian one, but it occurs at Kashmir 
on palaearctic territory. Forewings dark brown, densely striated with blackish. Only below the costa there 
is a wide white radial band. Hindwings pale brown with faint reticular lines. 55—65 mm. 
A. helenae Le Cerf Similar to nubila Stgr. (Vol. 2, p. 429 as Zeuzera). Thorax grey-brown, abdomen 
somewhat paler, with similar streaks as m nubila (pi. 52 g). Forewings pale greyish red with delicate black 
lattice markings, especially on costa, in cell and at inner margin. These reticulations are absent below cell 
and at outer margin above the upper submedian nervure. At disco-cellular nervure there is a black spot and 
beiow the cell a black nebulous patch. Hindwings grey-white with distinct striations only at anal angle. In 
the 4 the black dusting is more extensive. Hindwings with more numerous striations. 40—53 mm. Morocco.

Ph. castaneae Him (Vol. 2, p. 429, pi. 54 h). - cinerea Teick denotes small, narrow-winged specimens 
of greyish or pale brownish grey ground colouration. - sicca DU. is similarly described. It is however larger 
am 111 x specimens the blackish dots that are present in cinerea, are absent here. — melaina Daniel deno- 
“ lnates d " k i s ,P e f, me , ns wi . th «rey-Uack thorax. The collar which is of normal colour contrasts in its paleness. 
oil rings duskily black, only the costal margin is finely paler. Hindwings faintly dusky, abdomen of normal 
colouration. I his form is found among typical specimens in Hungary.
