Genus: SeHzisi Scriba. 
On p. Ill the question was raised as to whether Crinocraspeda miyakei Wilem. might possibly be 
identical with Seitzia plumigera (p. 118). According to Matsumura this is actually the case. The Genus 
should be named Takanea Nag. and miyakei retained as the specific name, as it is the older. Its correct 
classification is next to the Selenephora. 
15. Genus: Gastropacliai 0 . 
p. 119. line 5 from top. G. quercifolia L. luteobasalis Niep. is almost as dark on upperside as the form U.teobasa 
alnijolia 0. and the transverse lines are very distinct. Oh hindwings however the base, almost to centre of 
wing is orange-yellow and very sharply outlined. This form was obtained in a number of bred specimens.

having bolder rows of dots. Also the central dorsal line of thorax is wider. Described horn one from 
Shikoku. 
17. Genus: Odonestis Germ. 
0. brevivenis Btlr. (Vol. 2, p. 170, pi. 27 f). According to Matsumura the description and illustration 
of this species in Vol. 2, p. 170. pi. 27 f, refers to some Arguda species. 
18. Genus: ©endroliimis Germ. 
p 122. line 21 from below. Of D. pini L. so far only european-asiatic forms have been known, at- atlaniica. 
lantica Le Cerj from the Central Atlas is remarkable merely on account of its foodplant. The larvae feed on 
Cedars, as no Pinus trees grow in that district. Forewings ^grey-white, dusted with black, central line finely 
drawn and indistinct; the next line also fine, but more distinct. Marginal line very dentate on veins, reduced 
in size and forming black lunules between veins 4 and 5 and between vein 2 and inner margin. The coloui 
between this line and the preceding one, above and below the projecting angle of the outei line, is chocolate 
brown. A black basal streak, iy 2 —2 mm wide, proceeds from base over the white cell spot to the second 
transverse line. Outer margin black-brown. The ground is palest between the first and second transverse 
lines, intersected by dusky brown scales along the veins. Hindwings deep reddish brown. 
19. Genus: (Pacliypasa Wkr.

single Syrian specimens <$ and $ that are larger. Forewings are darker, hindwings more reddish, thorax 
without the lighter patch in centre. One can therefore say that in this new form, both sexes resemble large 
dalmatian 2$. 
8. Faanily: Lemonisdae. 
1. Genus: fjemoiiia Hbn. 
p. 127. L. sacrosancta Pnglr. (Vol. 2, p. 182) is described from Palestine. Specimens from Marash 
(S. E. Asia Minor) vary slightly. The marginal area is often paler than the basal area. Central spot is dark 
brown and occasionally enlarged and always with pale circumscription. 
L. balcanica H.-Schdff. (Vol. 2, p. 182, pi. 30 a). The form anatolica Wagner from Aksheliir (Asia anatolica. 
Minor) has a triangular or trapeziform central spot on forewings, no lunular mark like european specimens. 
Among the specimens submitted to me were 2 specimens in which the inner area was paler, the marginal 
area pale chestnut brown. These are named brunneomarginata Wagner. brunneo- 
r marginaia.

more elongate. Body dark yellow-brown. Forewings pointed with protruding apex. Costa indented, brilliant 
reddish yellow. Ground colour pale chocolate brown. A dark brown spot in cell, with paler reddish circum¬ 
scription. Submarginal band with dentation inwards, yellowish. Hindwings pale chocolate brown. Central 
band, margin and fringes yellow. Mesopotamia.
