ones. The costa is therefore almost unicolorous whitish-brown in the usual irroration, with only the two bigger dark preapical striguláé remaining as its most prominent feature. Hindwings broader. Underside of forewings are darker, the costa with a fine white line, apex broader white, uninterrupted in its length by the dark strigulation of bicingulata Z. Third joint of palpi uniform white and not brownish. There are two good distinguishing characters in the male genitalia. The stem of vinculum has a strong longitudinal rib as against the plain stem of bicingulata (figs. 3—4). The corona of the harpe is sharp, that of bicingulata Z. more rounded ; the clasper shorter, recurved, in bicingulata Z. long, only slightly bent (figs. 5—6) the whole harpe being shorter, more rounded, —as the whole genital armatur always smaller than in bicingulata Z. Holotype : «Cölömpös-bridge» : Diássziget, Kisbalaton (Com. Zala) 7. Oct. 1950, lege Dr. Kovács; Allotype : Vörs, Kisbalaton, 10. Oct. 1950, leg. Dr. Kovács; paratypes : 1 male and 7 females as allotype, leg. Dr. Kovács; 18 males and 51 females, same place, 16. Okt. 1950, leg. Drs. Kovács, Székessy and J. Bunday; 6 males 1 female. »Cölömpös-bridge», Vörs, Kisbalaton, 5. Nov. 1950, leg. Dr. Kovács; 1 female from the woods of Vörs, 10. Nov. 1950, leg. Dr. Kovács, 2 females from the woods of Vörs, 21. Nov. 1950, leg. Dr. Kovács. All of them in the Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum Budapest. It is to be seen from the aboves, that 1.) during the very extensive collectings — especially in the summer — no first generation of К о v á с s i occurred (not excluding the possibility of this !), and the first specimens were caught in the first part of October, while bicingulata Z., has two distinct generations of which the second appears already in August ; and that 2.) Kovácsi does not occur only in the reeds and swamps of the lake and its environment (»Cölömpös-bridge« and its reedy meadows), but also in the rather dry woods around the former coastal village Vörs. Life history unknown. It is with the greatest pleasure that I dedicate this exquisite new species to my best friend-in-lepidopterologic-arms, Dr. L. Kovács, Macrolepidoptera specialist of the Hungarian Natural History Museum. Fig. 3. Stem of vinculum in the male genitalia of Subeidophasia bicingulata Z. — Fig. 4.
