CATALOGUE OF THE ARCTIANAE IN THE THING

MUSEUil, WITH NOTES AND DESCRIPTIONS OE NEW

SPECIES.

By the HON. W. ROTHSCHILD, Ph.D.

I HAVE arranged my Arcikinae according to the Catalogue of the Lepidoplera

Pkalacnae in the British Museum, vol. iii., this being tlie most recent work

on the fiimily as a whole. I have, however, included the three genera Goiiotrephcs,

A/tta.ria, and -Xeozatrephes, placed by Sir George Hampson among the Si/ntomiilae,

because I consider these genera, in spite of the absence of the costal vein of the

hindwing, more nearly allied to the Arctianae than to the Si/nlomidae. Considering

the great use and imiwrtance to lepidopterists of the British Museum Catalogue,

it is to be regretted that not sufficient distinction has been empiuisised between

Subspecies and Aberrations. In several instances Sir George Hampson has

cdrrectly separated the subspecies, but in by far the larger number of cases he has

united them indiscriminately under the term " aberration." It cannot be too often

reiterated that a Subspecies is a local race or geographical representative of a given

species, in which the variation from the " type " is more or less uniform and

constant : on the other hand, an Aberration is a sporadic or individual variation

occurring among the typical individuals, and in which, even if several specimens

occur, the variation from the type is rarely if ever uniform and not persistent. A

difference from the type, liowever small, if confined to one locality and to the bulk

of or the whole of the individuals from that locality, is sufficient to separate this

group of individnals as a subspecies ; but, be the difference ever so great, if it

is pnrely individual, not confined to any one locality, and occurs casually with the

typical form, it can (inly be considered an aberration, and, in my opinion, should

not be named. Subspecies, on the other hand, should be named trinomially,

thus : Arctia caja americana.

I have, in the body of this catalogue, given the localities, in many cases, in

an abbreviated form, in order to save time and space. I here enumerate the

principal localities and dates, in full. They are arranged from north to south

eastwards, returning northwards and westwards.

This band, instead of ending at vein 1 two-thirds of the distance outwards between

base and tornns, is broken np into a line of spots and ends in a large patch just

above tornns, a snbmarginal row of spots outside this line from termen to tornns,

( 7 )

?. Differs in tieiiitj darker yellow : and instead of only having a small dark dot

before toruus on vein 1, a dot in eell, and one between veins 4 and ;"> and ."> and 'i,

has a dark patch before the tornns and a postmedian and snbterminal row of spots

from torn us to termen.

In the north and east of the range of this specie.s .s[)eciiuens frer[uciitly occur

with red patches in the discal area, and, on the other hand, speciinen.s wanting these

spots are not infreiiuent in the south aud west of its range. I think that, never-

theless, in view of the fact that the larger i)roportion of the soutliern and eastern

sjiecimens have the discal patches while on the contrary tiie larger proportion

of northern and eastern specimens lack these patches, tiie two forms might be

retained at present as subspecies, and not treated as individnal aberrations, though

the matter is very uncertain.

Sir George Hatnpson has identiiied this insect with Sepp's Phalaena citrina :

on com])arin<if ray large series with the plate 53 in Ins. Surinam I feel qnite

unable to endorse this opinion. This plate and rnanj' others in this hook are

so inaccurate and misleading that almost any Hali.vdota or allied insect taken

at liajihazard might he identified as the insect in qnestion. 1 tliink it therefore

most advisable to ignore Sepp's names altogether. In tiie present case, therefore,

llerricli-Sehaeffer's name must be employed.

Sepp's figure of bactris shows three transverse broad lines across the forewings

which are entirely wanting in/a/acra, and therefore the name bactris can under no

circnrastances apply to this insect.

DIE GROSSEX KANGURUHS UND IHRE GEOGRAPHISCHEN

FORMEN.

Vox ERNST SCHWARZ.

(Plates I.— IV.)

BIS vor zehn Jahren war der Norden niid Westen Australiens in zoologischer

Beziehiing recht wenifj bekanut. Seit Gould's Zeiten ist dort kanra gesam-

raelt wordeu. lu der letzten Jahren aber ist eine ganze Reihe von Expeditionen

dort tiitig gewesen, die nns mit einer Anzahl nener Formen bekannt gemacht

haben. Eigentlioh haben wir jetzt von diesen bis daliin vernachliissigten, Gebieten

wait reiclieres ^Material als ans dem Osten, dem Silden und dem Iniiern des Konti-

nents. Die Kenntnis der grossen Kiiiignnihs hat durch die Sammlnngen, die jetzt

vorliegen, eine grosse Erweiterung erfahren. Mctcropus antilopiniis war nnr- in

einera Paar bekannt, voii dem Vorkomraen von Kilngnruhs der M. ritfiis- und

robust us-Gnv[i\i& im Westen wnsste man i'lberhanjit niehts. Es zeigt sich jetzt, dass

M. robustxs mit seinen verschieden Lokalformen iiber fast ganz Australian ver-

breitet ist ; lediglich im Sildwesten fehlt es, wahrend M. ru/us den ganzen

Kontinent, mit alleiniger Ausuahme Nordqneenslands und Arnhemhxnds, sowie

des iinssersten Nordwestens, bewolint. MacropKs giqatiti'us ist im Wesentlichcn ant'

die Kiistengebiete beschriiukt und dringt nur im Siidosten ins Innere ein. Macr.

antilopinus und ^[. hayenhecki endlich haben nur ein beschriinktes Verbreitnngs-

gebiet im iiussersten Norden. Zwei Formen nur leben auf Inseln: M.gig.fulginosus

anf Tasmanien und ^f. rob. isabelliiiiia auf P.arrow Island im Nordwesten. Letzteres

hat sich dort zn einer von dem allgemeinen rob>'gt'if:-'Y\\t. recht abweichenden Form

entwickelt.

Das Material zu der vorliegenden Arbeit stammt zum groasten Teil aus der

Sammlung des British Museum, das icli mit der freundlicheu Erlanbnis des Herrn

O. Thomas benntzen durfte. Baron AV. von Rothschild gestattete mir giitigst auch

die Benutznng seines Museums in Tring und Herr R. H. Bnrne die der Schiidel-

sammlung des Royal College of Surgeons. Fiir frdl. Auskiiufte bin ich Herrn

Prof. Matschie, Dr. Nieden und Dr. Heinroth, alle in Berlin verbunden. Allen

diesen Herren fitr ihre Unterstiitzung besten Dank.

In der Nomenklatnr der Zahne bin ich dem " Catalogue of Marsupials " gefolgt.

Der " Secator" ist der " p, " desselben. Dagegeu nenne ich das, was Tliomas " old "

nennt "erwachsen" (ad.), und was er "adult" nennt, " nicht ganz erwac-hsen "

(snbad.).

Von Literatur gebe ich nur die wichtigere, nach dem " Catalogue of Marsupials "

erschienene.

Die verschiedcnen Arteu sind folgendermasseu zu nnterscheiden :

Nach Schadelcharakteren :

«, Interorliitalregion stark konve.x.

A, I3 sehr lang, mit 2 Kerben, vordere Querleiste der Molaren rait

Langsbriicke ; Jochbogen breit. Proc. coronoideus des Unterkiefers

gedrnngen ......... M. yiijitnteitii.

( 87 )

ij I3 kurz, glatt ; vordere Qnerleiste der Molaren ohne Liingabriicke.

«2 Interorbitalregiou nicht konvex ; oberer Rand der Aiigeiibuhle scbarfkantig.

(?, Nasenboble sebr stark erweitert ; Gaumen vorn sehr breit. Vordere

Querleiste der Molaren mit deutlicber Lilngsbrucke . M. antilopinus.

c-i Nasenbohle nnr wenig gevvOll)t, oder wenn erweitert, Gaumen vorn

schmal. Vordere Querleiste der bintereu Molaren ohne oder mit

ganz undeutlicher Lilngsbriicke.

f/, Facialindex beim erwacbsenen <J unter 280 . . M. robustus.

(I., Facialindex beim erwacbsenen cj iiber 280 . M. hagenbecki.

Nach ausseren Charakteren :

«, Obren laug. Gestalt seblank ; mit langen Hinterbeiuen,

/y, Hhinarinm behaart ; Mittelkralle des Hinterfnsses sebr lang.

M. giganteus.

b., Rliinariiim nackt ; Mittelkralle des Hinterfnsses kurz . M. rufus.

a., Ohren kurz. Gestalt gedrungen ; mit kiirzeren Hinterbeinen.

Ci Rbinarium mit mittlerer Ausbuchtung . . . M. antilopinus.

Ci Rliinarinm ohne solche.

(•/, Behaarnng wollig. Oberlippe weiss. . . M. hagenbecki.

d., Behaarnng nichlfwoUig. Oherlippe nicht weiss . M. robustus.

Macropus rufus.

Ein sebr grosses Kangurnh von schlankem Ban, mit langen Hinterbeinen.

? immer viel kleiner als $ .

Behaarnng kurz, sehr zart nnd wollig (nnr UnterwoUe, keine Grannen). Auf

dem vorderen Teil des Riickens ein VVirbel ; die Haare des Vorderriicken mehr oder

weuiger nach vorn gerichtet. Die Gesicbtshaare strablen von zwei Linien an den

Seiten nach der Mitte zu nnd bilden in der Mittellinie, wo sie sicb treften, eine Art

Kamm, der sich fiber Stirn nnd Nasenriicken erstreckt. Ohren innen lang, anssen

ganz knrz behaart. Schwanz kurzhaarig. Ohren lang. Rhinarinm breit, nackt ;

in der Form etwa in der MiLte stehend zwischen M. giganteus nnd robustus.

Mittlere Kralle des Hinterfnsses knrz ; Kralleu der Finger knrz, flach, stumpf.

Schadel: Die Gesichtspartie ist im Vergleich znr Gehirnkapsel sehr lang,

am liingsten von alien Kiingnrnhs. Die Nasenbohle ist seitlicb etwas gewulbt ;

die Schnauze verjiingt sich nach vorn. Die Nasalia sind laug nnd schmal, in der

Regel mit fast parallelen seitlichen Rilndern, die sich hinteu etwas von einander

entferuen. Die Interorbitalregion ist stark konvex, nnd der obere Rand der

Augeuhohle ist abgerundet, daher nndentlicli begrenzt. Ein Proc. postorbitalis

fehlt, nnd die mediale Wand der Angenhohle ist glatt. Der Jochbogen ist schmal

(der obere Rand des Proc. zygoraaticns des Schliifenbeins ist nnr wenig konvex).

Der Proc. infrazygomaticns ist lang nnd schmal. Die Offnnng des Triinenkanals

liegt ganz im Lacrimale. Der Proc. paroccipitalis ist lang nnd breit. Die

Pars horizontalis des Gauraenbeins ist sehr nnvollstilndig ; die Foramina palatina

sind oft gross nnd rcichen dann bis weit in die Maxilla hinein. Der Gannien ist

laug nnd schmal; seine geringste Breite geht etwa 2imal in die Liinge des

Diastemas. Die Foramina incisiva sind sehr lang nnd werden in der Regel hinten

von der Maxilla gebildet. Die Praemaxilla ist hinten in eine lauge Spitze

( 88)

aUsge^ogen, dio l>is zur Mitte der Nasalia reich)-. Die Profillinie des Schiidels

steigt von hinteii sehwacli konkav an bis znm hinteren Ansatz des Joclibogens,

von da scbwiiclicr (in last geiader Linie) bis zu ibrem liocbsten Pnukt iiber dem

Vorderende des Proc. zvgomaticns des Scbbifenbeins, nnd liinft von da in fast

gerader Linie (abgeseben von dem Knick am Hinterende der Nasalia) nach vorn.

Unterkiefer : Der Corpus ist sebr lang nnd scbmal nnd bildet mit dem

scblanken, niedrigen Ramns einen stiirapfen Winkel. Der C"ond_vlus ist sdiwacb

konkav. J'roressus coronoidcas kurz, scbmal, oben weuig uacb binten umgebogeu

nnd mit scharfer Spitze.

Zahne :

Oberkiefer: Scbneidezahne lang (in verticaler Ricbtnng) nnd mit mebr

senkrecbter Wnrzel als M. giganteus ; in der borizontalen Liinge alle drei recbt

variabel, I3 jedocb im Vergleich zu den verwandten Arten kurz. Nnr letzterer bat

bisweilen (besonders bei jungen Tieren) eiue undeutlicbe Vertikalrille. P3 liinglieb,

binten breiter als vorn ; Secator iibnlicb, aber scbmitler. Molaren gewubnlicb mit

wobl entwiekelter vorderen Querleiste, die aber grosse Neignng zeigt sicb abzn-

schleifen {Mao: mrignus!) und keine Liingsbriicke triigt. Dagegen findet sich

biiufig ein hinterer mittlerer Fortsatz der mittleren Qnerleisten. Liingsbrucke

zwischen der mittleren nnd binteren Querleiste wobl entwickelt.

Unterkiefer: I, seitlicb komprimiert, mit sebarfer Scbneide nnd nnteren

Kante nnd stnmi)fer medialen Kaute. Eine li^rizontale Rille parallel mit der

nntereu Kante. Secator iibulicb wio im Oberkiefer, aber viel schmiiler und kleiner.

Molaren an der Krone breiter als an der Wnrzel, mit gnt definierten Langs-

nnd Qnerleisten.

Hierher gehort aacb das beriihmte " Owen's Kiingnrnb " (Mac/: [BoriogaW]

magnus Ow.), das so lange in der Literatur herumspnkte nnd sich jetzt bei

sorgfiiltigem Vergleicb mit einer grossen Reihe von ?v</Mjj-Schadeln (Die Lokal-

formeii von M. ru/us sind am Scbiidel nicbt zu erkennen. Sie variieren individuell

bis zu einem gewissen Grade, subspeziiiscbe Charaktere, sind aber nicbt entwickelt)

als identisch mit M. ruj'as nnd zwar der typiscben ostanstraliscben Form, erweist.

Der "Typns" ist ein ganz verkriippelter Scbiidel. Scbnauze nnd Nasalia sind

giinzlicb verbogen, die Molaren sitzen infolge dessen zu dicht znsammen und

daher ist die Vorderleiste znm Teil abgerieben; ebenso ist der eine obere Secator an

den hinter ibm stehenden Zahn gepresst und ebenso abgerieben oder unvollstiindig

entwickelt ; der andere Secator ist etwas von dem hinter ihm stehenden Zahn

entfernt nnd ganz normal. Was die Griisse der beiden Foramina jialatina und

incisiva betrifl't, so sind das rein individnelle Eigenscbaften, die sicb bei mebreron,

der niir vorliegenden Scbiidel, teilweise ebenso, wenn nicbt noch ansgepriigter,

linden. Das Brit. Mns. besitzt iibrigens einen zweiten »v//M.s-Scbadel, der

ebensolche Molaren zeigt (von Dubbo, Nen-Siid-Wales) nnd Spencer {Report of

the Horn Exped. Mumm. p. 12 [1890]) erwiibnt zwei gleicbo von (lentral-

Australien.

Macropus ru/us ist das Kiingurah des luneron Anstraliens ; es feblt nnr

im iinssersten Norden nnd anscbeinend aucb im iiussersten Nordwesten. Eine

Lokalform findet sicb in Ostaustralien {rufaa), eine zweite in den Tropen des

Nordwestens ipallidus) und eine dritte im Siidwesten {occidfiital/s). ? und S

kr.unen gleicb gefiirlit sein und zwar blaugran oder rot. Beide Pbasen kommeu

bei alien drei Lokalformen vor. M. ru/us dissimulatus, das nach einem granen <J

bescbriclicii wnrde, ist (iH'ciibar (wio icb micli scllist iiberzeugen konnte) identisch

( 89)

mit der t3'pischen ostaustralischen Form, wogegen Cahn's M. r. occirlentalis, der

den Hauptwert anf die roten ? lej;t, eiiie liesoiulere Subspecies darstelit. Ein 9,

das im Berliner Zoologischeu Garten lebt, wird iin Winter immer grau, wilhrend

Rothschild's " M. ruftis dissimulatus " nacli einiger Zeit mehr oder weniger

rot wnrde.

Die drei Formen lasseu sich folgendermassen unterscheiden :

«! Oberseite hellblangrau oder stnrapf rot ... M. r. ritf/(.s.

a., Oberseite ganz hell rot, hOehstens mit bliiulichem Schimmer. Behaarnng

Macropus giganteus.

Ein grosses Kiinguruh vou schlankem Bau, mit sehr langen Hinterbeinen.

Mittlere Kralle des Hinterfusses sehr lang, Krallen der Finger ziemlich lang,

flach, vorn abgernndet.

In der Mitte des Riickens ein Ilaarwirbel (die Haare des Nackens nnd

Vorderriickens mehr oder weniger nach vorn gerichtet). Die Stirnhaare nach

( 91 )

vorn, die des Naseuriickens iiach hinten gerichtet (ahnlich bei robuslus). Behaarung

der Kiirperseiten langer als die der Riickenraitte. Scliwauz miissig lang behaart,

nach der Spitze zn dunkler werdend. Behaainng dcs Gesicbts kurz mid anliegeiid,

? kleiner als 3 , sonst ganz gleieb.

Schadel : Die Gesicbtspartie ist im Vergleich zur Gebirnkapsel lang. Die

NasenliOhle ist, seitlich erweitert ; die Scbnanze verjiingt sicb nacb vorn. Die

Nasalia sind lang nnd scbmal, in der Mitte etwas eingesebuiirt und breit am

hinteren Ende. Die Interorbitalregion ist stark konvex ; der obere Rand der

Augenb(ihle ist rnnd ; ein Proc. postorbitalis feblt ; dagegen fiudet sicb an seiner

Stelle an der medialen Wand der Angenboble ein senkrecbter Wulst, der iibnlicb,

wenn ancb weit scbwiicber, sicb bei M. anf/lopi/uis findet, nnd sicb als Protnberaiitia

postorbitalis bezeicbnen liisst. Der Jocbbogeu iihnelt dem der Kiingnrabs der

7-obusius-GTa,])\>e ; er ist jedocb scbmiiler und seine obere Begreuzung ist weniger

konvex. Der Proc. infrazygomaticiis ist lang nnd scbmal. Die Offnnng des

Trilnenkanals liegt ganz im Lacrimale. Die Pars horizontalis des Gaumenbeins

M. robustus nnd rnfus. Die eigentlicbeu Foramina palatina liegen ganz in der

Pars borizontalis ; ausserdem finden sicb gewobnlich vor ibnen, in der Maxilla,

zwei mebr oder weniger grosse Locher. Der vordere Gaumen ist sehr lang nnd

scbmal, seine geringste Breite geht etwa 3imal in die Lilnge des Diastemas ; seine

seitlichen Rilnder sind, obwobl abgernndet, wobldefiniert. Die Praemaxilla reicht

hinten nnr etwa bis zu einem Drittel der Nasalia. Der Proc. paroccipitalis ist

scbmal nnd sehr lang. Die Profillinie ist iibnlicb der von M. ruftis, steigt hinten

jedocb steiler an and ist im vorderen Teil gerader.

Unterkiefer : Corpus lang und gedrnngen. Ramus ziemlicb breit; er bildet

mit dem ( 'or])Us einen etwas stnmpfen Winkel. Der Condjlns ist konkav. Der

Proc. coronoideus ist gedrungen, oben scharf umgebogen und zngespitzt.

Zahne :

Oberkiefer : Schneidezahne kurz in vertikaler, lang in horizontaler Richtung,

mit scbriig eingesetzter Wurzel ; hocb hinanf mit Schmelz ilberzogen. Wnrzeln

Hah. Der Typus dieser Form soil von Port Essington gekommen seiu, doch

kommt dorfc M. giganteus iiberhanpt nicht vor ; die Angabe beruht also sicher

anf einem Irrtnm. Merkwiirdigerweise liegt mir niclit ein einziges Exemplar

mit genanem Fnndort vor. Doch tinde ich bei Lucas und Le Souef * (p. 90) eiue

kurze Bemerkung : " It is found in the Mallee (dwarf Eucalypti) country of

Southern Australia," und das scheint mir das Richtige zu treffen. Dass es mit

M. giganteus dieselben Gegenden bewohne, halte ich ftir ausgeschlossen (vgl.

Thomas, " Catalogue of Marsupials ").

Auch ob es kleiuer ist als M. giganteus wie Thomas annimmt, kann ich nicht

sagen ; alle mir vorliegenden Stiicke sind nicht erwachsen.

M. g. melanops steht wohl dem westanstralischen Macr. g. oc/flromus am

niichsten. Es unterscheidet sich durch mehr branne Grundfarbe, den aus-

gesprochen dnnklen Nasenriicken, die dnnklen Hiinde und nicht borstigen Arme,

vielleicht auch durch geringere Grtisse. Die Ohrhinterseite obwohl auch mit weiss

gemischt ist viel dunkler als bei M. g. ocgdromus.

Schadel : Die Gesiclitspartie ist im Vergleich zur Gehirnkapsel sehr kurz.

Die Naseuhuhle ist seitlich erweitert, am starksten ein Stiick vor dem Hinterende

der Praemaxilla (weiter vorn als bei certiiius), und erscheint ganz vorn eingeschniirt.

Die Nasalia sind vorn nicht viel schmiiler als hinten ; sie sind in der Mitte

eingeschniirt, erweitern sich vorn noch einmal und laufen in eine Spitze ans, die

wesentlich kiirzer ist als bei M. r. cervinus. Der Processus infrazygomaticns ist

schmal und stark gedreht. Die Offnung des Tranenkanals liegt ganz im Lacriraale.

Die Foramina incisiva sind kurz. Der vordere Teil des Gaumens ist liinger und

etwas breiter als bei rrrrim/x ; seine geringste Breite geht etwa 3mal in die Liinge

des Diastemas. Der Jochbogen ist ungefiihr wie bei i-obuMus, nur ist er hinten

etwas mehr abgernndet. Die Profillinie ist iihnlich wie bei cervinus ; sie ist

Hinterrande der Nasalia nnd von da abschiissiger naoli vorn. Das Hinterende der

Praemaxilla ist sehr lang aiisgezogen, und reicht fast bis J der Liinge der Nasalia.

Unterkiefer : Nicht ganz uniihulich dem von M. robusfus, aber mit breiterem

Ramus und h(iherem und kiirzerem Corpus, die einen kleineren Winkel bilden als

bei robustus. Der C'ondylus ist konvex. Der Processus coronoideus ist sclilank,

oben kanm nmgebogen nnd in eine etwas abgestumpfte Spitze endend.

Z'ahue : Wie die von robiistits.

Dieser Scliildel unterscheidet sich von M. robusfus, dem er nahe stebt, durch

die Form der Nasalia, den kurzen und gedrungenen Unterkiefer und den etwas

zugespitzten Proc. coronoideus. Die beiden niichsten Nachbarn M. r. alliyatoris

NOTES ON EAGLE-OWLS.

By the HON. WALTER ROTHSCHILD and ERNST HARTERT.

ABOUT a year ago we were told that a form of the Egyptian Eagle-Owl

occurred in Asia Minor. We therefore asked Mr. Carl Hilgert, who lias a

correspondent in Asia Jlinor, to procnre ns some specimens. This he did, and

we received four adnlt Eagle-Owls from Eregli, north of the Taurns Mountains.

They were, however, in no way like the Egyptian Eagle-Owl, bat very closely

allied to Bubo bubo turcomanus. They led us to compare the series of Eagle-Owls

in the Tring Museum, in which we have been particularly interested for some time,

with the following results :

Bubo bubo bubo (L.).

Sirix Bulm Linnaeus, Si/tt. Nat. ed. x. p. 92 (1758—" Habitat in Europa." Terra typica : " Sweden,"

from the first quotation : " Fn. svec. 45 ").

We have examined thirt3'-eight skins from Europe which we consider to

belong to this form. We are not able to separate any subspecies, except from

the farthest south-west (Spain) and the south-eastern parts of Russia (Southern Ural

and Caucasus). A good series from Norway and Sweden, and numerous skins

from Germany, show these birds to be absolutely the same, and examples from

Dalmatia, Croatia, Greece, and Italy are inseparable. Far from being in any way

smaller, we find very large examples among the series from Southern Europe.

This form is the darkest of all. The black shaft-stripes on the chest are broad,

and there are generally very distinct cross-bars. It extends into Northern and

Central Russia.

An Eagle-Owl which must be very closely allied to B. bubo bubo is found

in Northern Algeria. Loche distinctly says that he had specimens, and

Taczanowski saw a stuffed one in the possession of an officer. Probably the

Algerian Eagle-Owl will he found to differ slightly from the North European

one. We suspect that it will only be found in the Northern Atlas Mountains,

while B. b. ascalaphus inhabits the southern ranges.

Bubo bubo hispanus subspec. no v.

? Bnbn maxhims ncculrnlnlis A. E. Brehm, Vei-. Santinl. p. 2 (ISStj — Nomen nudum !).

The examination of seven Spanish Eagle-Owls, from Aguilas (Gray coll.),

Malaga, and Madrid, shows that they differ slightly from B. bubo bubo. As long

ago as 1857 A. E. Brehm remarked {Naturh. Zeitung iii. p. 441) that he was

almost inclined to consider the Spanish Eagle-Owls as synonymous with B. sibiricus.

Also, Professor Koenig remarked to one of us {in litte)-i-s) that he thought the

Si)anish form was separable.

This is indeed the case, for the under surface is as a rule much paler, and

the wing averages from 2 to o cm. shorter. The black longitudinal marks on

the chest are sharply defined, and generally without cross-markings laterally.

No name is available for this form. A. E. Brehm, in the list of C. L. Brehm's

collection, mentions a "Bubo maximus occidentalis" without description and

locality. This name was probably meant for the Spanish race, as it is scratched

on the label of the Spanish Eagle-Owl in the Brehm collection.

The type of Bubo bubo hispanus is a male in the Tring Museum shot at a

nest containing two eggs near Aguilas, February 12, 1898, by Mr. Graj'. An

adult female from the same place, also shot from a nest, resembles more the

( 111 )

northern B. bubo bubo, except that the black stripes on the chest are very wide.

It is also rather larger than other Spanish skins, the wing measuring nearly 47 cm.

Bubo bubo interpositus subspec. nov.

This form is intermediate between B. bubo bubo and B. bubo turcomana, but

nearest to the latter. It differs, however, from B. b. turcomana in having wider

shaft-stripes to the feathers of the abdomen, a darker brown ground-colonr on

the feathers of the hind-neck and upper back, and, usually, more black on the

scapulars, lower back, and upper tail-coverts. The underside of the quills is also

darker than in B. b. turcomana, while in B. b. bubo it is often still darker.

B. b. interpositus is lighter above and below than any specimens of B. bubo

bubo, and not so blackish above as the Spanish form (/>. b. Itispanm).

In size this new form does nut differ from B. bubo bubo.

Type : o ad., 15. iii. 1909, Eregli, north of the Cilician Taurus, in Asia Minor,

collected by Mr. C. Hilgert's collector.

Besides the specimens from Eregli, those from the Caucasus (Wladikawkas),

and from the Lower Wolga (Sarepta), belong to this form. It is jiossible that

other forms — viz. B. b. sibiricus and B. b. turcomana — visit the Lower Wolga in

winter; but four specimens which we were able to examine are indistinguishable

from the type of B. b. interpositus, and not like any of the other forms.

We have examined five skins from Eregli — four in the Tring Museum and

one in Professor Koenig's collection ; two from Wladikawkas, Northern Caucasus ;

and four from Sarepta.

Bubo bubo turcomana Eversm.

Strix turcomana Eversmann, Addenda ad PaUtisii Zooyraph. Roxso-Asiat. i. p. 3 (1835— Between

the Caspian and Aral Seas).

This race is much lighter than B. b. bubo and B. b. Iiispanus, and also

distinctly lighter, more yellowish and more sandy, than B. b. interpositus.

Especially the ground-colour of the occiput, hind-neck and upper back is lighter,

also the under surface of the quills. Generally B. b. turcomana is also smaller

and slenderer than B. b. bubo, but some specimens are apparently as big as any

northern Eagle-Owl. Single specimens are sometimes hardly distinguishable from

B. b. interpositus, but as a rule they are very well separable.

We have before us twenty-two .sjiecimcns belonging to B. b. turcomana. They

are from Transcaspia, llussian Turkestan (Issik Kui, Tian Shan, Aksu, Djarkend,

Karakol, MargeJan, Merw), Kerat in East Persia, Persian Baluchistan, and one

from Blagoslovenka, near Orenburg, in the Southern Ural. The latter was obtained

on December 5, 1888, by N. Zarudny, and marked as Bubo iynavus (= B. b. bubo).

It is absolutely like Transcaspian and Turkestan examples, and neither to be

confounded with B. b. bubo nor with D. b. sibiricus. The latter, however, appears

to be found in winter near Orenburg as well.

We are not acquainted with

Bubo b'lbo ni/wls/ni Zarudny.

The author described (Orn. Jahrb. 1905. p. 142) this form as being closely allied

to B. b. turcomana, but smaller, and having a smaller area on the chest covered

with bold markings, which merge almost without transition into the very narrow

shaft-lines on the lower breast, while the markings on the abdomen are finer

and the upperside is more rusty. Mr. Zarudny had a pair from Arabistau

(Chusistan) in West Persia.

( n-^ )

Bubo bubo sibirica (ISc.hlegel & Susemihl).

'• Slrix fiihiririi Lichtenstein " on plate H of "Die \'ili/'l Enrojxis" by Susemihl, with text by

Schlegel and others (1843. No text, but the plate is evidently taken from the specimen

marked Slrix .■ubirira by Lichtenstein, in the Berlin Museum, from the '■ Ural ").

This beautiful Eagle-Owl is easily recognisable by its inucli lighter coloration,

the brownish yellow ground-colour being for the most part replaced by white.

The feet are very heavily feathered, and the size is very large.

Instructive plates and very detailed descriptions of D. b. sibirica and B. b.

turcomana are to be fonnd in Menzbier's Ornitholoi/ie (In. Titrkfstnn, 4 livr. (1804).

The Siberian Eagle-Owl breeds in Siberia, and appears partially to wander

southwards in the winter.

Bubo bubo aharonii subspec. nov.

This is by far the most interesting form of Eagle-Owl known to us, inasmuch

as it connects the northern Eagle-Owls with the ascalaphus group. It dift'ers

from the latter by the sides of the head and neck being distinctly barred with

blackish ; the feathers of the nape are dift'erently marked. In the northern

Eagle-Owls there are almost straight, wide black longitudinal stripes, while in

B. b. ascalaphus there are roundish light cream-coloured lateral patches to the

feathers which invade the black shaft-stripes, so that they become somewhat

crenated ; in B. b. aharonii these crenations are visible, but not so well developed

as in B. b. ascalaphus, and they are much more distinct in the supposed male,

less so in the supposed female. Altogether the supposed male is much more like an

ascalaphus, the female more like a bubn. The underside of the wings is marked

as in ascalaphus. In the supjiosed male the abdomen is marked as in ascalaphus,

while in the other specimen it is more distinctly and more frequently cross-barred

than in any ascalaphus, more as in bubo. The tarsus in ascalaphus is uniform,

while it is barred in bubo. In the supposed female of the new form the tarsus

is marked with narrow but distinct broad arrow-shaped cross-lines, while in the

male there are merely indications of cross-markings. The two specimens are alike

in size, the wings measuring 41 — 42 cm.

We have received one pair from Mr. Aharoni in Jerusalem. They were

obtained on the Wadi Suenit, in the valley of the Jordan in Palestine, on April oth

or 6th, 1909. The supposed female (the type-specimen) is now in the Tring

Museum, while the other one had to be returned to Jerusalem. The specimen-?

were not sexed ; but it would seem that the lighter, more ascalaphus-\ike^

specimen is a less heavy bird, its beak being somewhat slenderer, and therefore

we think that it must be the male, the other the female, as the two are said to

be a pair. "We have named this most interesting form in honour of Mr. Aharoni,

who is an enthusiastic naturalist.

Bubo bubo ascalaphus Sav.

The late Huron von Erianger separated two subspecies— a northern, darker,

and a more southern, lighter one, in Tunisia ; while he also kept separate the

Egyptian form as a third subspecies. We are at jiresent unable to decide finally

whether the separation of these three races is possible or not, but we hope to

discuss this question in fnll. We obtained a dark form near El Kantara in

Algeria, and it seems as if more southern examples are lighter.

hifdHcia (Hmpsn.). This is certainly wrong, bnt as I have not enough dated

material it is very difficult to decide if some of the forms are or are not seasonal

forms. I therefore have for the moment retained tnilnrd (Moore), mniiddriiid

iihtitiKd : hiftiscid (Hmpsn.) is undonbtedly a good distinct species.

D. subcarnea, obertliueri, ericsoni, metarhoda, etc.

Sir George Hampson has created great confusion in these forms. He

unites obertliueri Semp. .with subcarnea, in spite of Semper's statement that the

underside of the abdomen is red, and therefore, if united with anything, it ought

to be with rdcefa Stoll. ; but it is a perfectly good species, and must be retained

as such. He further unites metarhoda Walk, to niceta, with which it has nothing

to do, as the undersurface of the abdomen is white, and not crimson.

The following is the present status of these insects :

Diacrisea subcarnea (Walk.) : Jajian, China, Korea, etc.
