Of all other Eurasian and North African species with yellow and white pattern, which also have spots, only dichroa Wlsm., (Teneriffa) is somewhat similar, but its spot in cell is duplicated with almost the whole dorsum and subdiscal area ochreous. The male genitalia (fig. 10) stands nearest to metzneriella Stt., but here the uncus is bilobate with small inner spines, valvulae rounded not pointed, aedoea­gus with 2 great and sharp thorns. Holotype male : Ágasegyháza, Com. Bács, S. Hungary, 2. Oct. 1953, on the shores of a reedy lake with Typha, Carex, Molinia spp. I dedicate this new Metzneria to Prof. Gy. É h i к, mammalogist, also a zealous lepidopterist, who caught this specimen by lamp. Type in the Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum. Aristotelia (Xystophora) agasta sp. n. Alar exp. : 10—11 mm. — Head cupreous brown, face lighter. Labial palpi twice as long as head, recurved, ascending, inside light fuscous, outside darker fuscous, second joint with appressed scales, third joint long, pointed, as long as seocnd. Antennae 3/4, brown. Forewings long, narrow. Scales bicolorous : base light fuscous (smoky brown), tips dark fuscous. Dots almost invisible : two in fold, at 1/5 and 3/5, then one in cell at 1/2, finally one larger spot at end of cell. Two light yellowish brown triangular streaks beginning in cilia and extend­ing with their points to spot at end of cell which lies between them, basally curved, externally not well defined, exactly in juxtaposition. Ciliae beginning at upper streak on costa, longest on tornus, reaching till 1/3 on dorsum, a dark line in them embracing apex, terminating above tornus, returning to wing. They are dark grey : yellow only about apex and along termen inside above line, then at tornus (Fig. 11). Hindwings 3/4, light grey. M x near M 2 , M 3 twice this distance away. Tornus sharply curved to termen, apex as long as termen. Ciliae yellowish grey, light. Underside of forewings uniform fuscous, base of yellow costal streak shining through in cilia. Hindwings light grey. Thorax and abdomen shining fuscous, anal tuft light grey. Legs yellowish grey with almost no markings. This species, as regards pattern, stands nearest to atrella Hw., which is, however, bigger, dark brown with a violet shine, the two yellow posterior streaks are not facing each other but are in a sharp oblique line : the above one being further away to apex, the lower to base. Labial palpi ochreous. Male genitalia of agasta (figs: 12—13), very different from atrella Haw.: uncus simple, harpe pointed, valvula plain, aedoeagus without cornuti. Holotype male : 27. April, 1952, Nádasdy forest, Kaposvár, Com. Somogy, SW. Hungary, leg. N a 11 á n ; paratype male : of the same date. Holotype in the Collection of the Hungarian Natural Hist. Museum ; paratype in that of N. N a 11 á n, Kaposvár. Glyphipteryx nattáni sp. n. Aler exp. : 5,5—6 mm. — Belongs to Group B(b)beta (in Spuler : p. 298—99.). — Head, thorax and scapulae greenish bronzy fuscous ; labial palpi hanging, as large as head, 2nd joint appressed scales, white, mingling
