field, its spines thin, long and very densely arranged. Anterior and posterior apophyses short, comparatively stout, papillae anales broad (Fig. 8) ; çf unknown. Biology. First stages and foodplant unknown. Flight period of imagos unrecorded. Distribution. A Central Asian species. - Locus typicus : Tura. Specific differences. There can be no doubt about its specific distinctness. Beside the external morphological features the main characteristic of the female genitalia, namely the two distinct chitinous fields of the bursa copulatrix, is very striking. Remarks. In his rather taciturn description DIETZE (1913) — though pointing out the doubled oblique transverse lines, decurrent without essentially widening from the middle of the nearly patternless fore wing to the dorsum — appears to have been uncertain about assigning a definite taxic rank to the form, and finally diagnosed it as an aberration, a decision precluding the availability of the name under the Code. — PROUT (1915) had first reiterated DIETZE'S statements and remarked only later (1939) that privata had never been studied anatomically and that DIETZE himself had originally been dissatisfied with the systematic status of the taxon.
