, 1 9. 18. Scopula perniutata (STAUDINGER, 1897) (D. ent. Z. Iris, 9:272). — VIIDALEPP

(1975) considered it an endemic species of the Central Asiatic steppes; the subspecies S. perniutata gnophosaria LEACH (Tibet) is presumably a distinct species. Z. KASZAB collected a series of fine and fresh specimens from this extremely interesting and rare species. Collection data. — Chövsgöl aimak: 8 km W von Somon Burenchaan, am Fluss Delger mörön, 1450 m, 16. VIL 1968 (Nr. 1117), 10 çf ; 4 km NW von der Stadt Mörön, 1500 m, 19.

Scopula umbelaria graeseri PROUT, 1935 (In SEITZ, A.: Die Gross-Schmetterlinge der Erde, Spanner, 1934-1954, Supplement ad IV: 17). — The Central Asiatic populations of the species, ranging from Europe to the Far East, represent a distinct subspecies. VIIDALEPP (1975) was the first to show it from Mongolia. Collection data. — Bulgan aimak: zwischen Somon Cbischig-Öndör und Somon Orchon, 23 km NNO von Chischig-Öndör, 1390 m, 15.

Carn.,p. 219). — The species, occurring in Europe, the Caucasus and beyond it (Iran, Central Asia, the larger part of Sibiria, the Tuva and Yakut regions), was first recorded from Mongolia by VIIDALEPP (1975). The Asiatic specimens display no difference against the European ones. Collection data. — Bulgan aimak: Namnan ul Gebirge, 23 km NW von Somon Chutag, 1150 m, 21.

X, p. 528.) — The Asiatic exemplars of the species ranging in the larger part of Europe, in the Transcaucasus, and in Asia Minor and Central Asia, agree in the essential characteristics with those of the European ones, although several aberrations have already been described. VIIDALEPP (1975) was the first to show it from Mongolia. Collection data. — Bulgan a i m a k: 11 km W von Somon Bajannuur am Südrand des Sees Bajan nuur, 1000 m, 14. VI. — 24.

Scopula cajanderi (HERZ, 1888) (Ofv. Finsk, Förh., 45/15: 13). — The species, collected in Siberia and in the Amur region, is rather rare and was from a systematical point of view also debated for some time. KASZAB'S material contained a poorly worn specimen which I identify, with some reservations, as representing this species. New for Mongolia. Collection data. — Uvs aimak:4 km OSO vom Pass Ulaan davaa, zwischen dem See Örög nuur und der Stadt Ulaangom, 1700 m, 6. VIL 1968 (Nr. 1074), 1 çf. 23. Scopula ternata SCHRANK, 1902 (N. Beytr., 77: 4). — The species, occurring in Europa, the Ural and Altai Mountains, and in Central Asia, was recorded from Mongolia also by MOUCHA (1967). The Mongolian species seems to agree with the European exemplars. Collection data. — Uvs a i m a k: 4 km OSO vom Pass Ulaan davaa, zwischen dem See Örög nuur und der Stadt Ulaangom, 1700 m, 6. VIL 1968 (Nr. 1074), 1 çf

. 24. Scopula sp. — There is a specimen in KASZAB'S collection which is similar in many respects, mainly in the basic elements of the pattern, to S. perniutata STGR., but it has a lighter and more yellowich basic colour, a less marked pattern, without the dark brown spots, and with more elongated fore wings. For a decision on its specific relegation, the* study of further and more extensive material is needed.
