Warren states.R. renigera Hbn. (= dumosa Donz.]) (13 e). Forewing greyish ochreous, thickly dusted with fuscous or grey, especially the space between outer and submarginal lines; markings obscure; lines marked by dark spots on costa; stigmata faintly yellowish; hindwing greyish fuscous.A south European species, found in Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Carinthia, Bosnia, and Hungary; also in Armenia, Asia Minor, Syria,Persia, Turkestan, and Mongolia: the Asiatic forms differ in coloration from the European; they have been separated by Staudinger as ab. turana Stgr., which is pale ocbreous, with the grey tinge less conspicuous: ab. intermedia Stgr. (13 e), which is dark violaceous grey with markings obscure; ab. erubescens Stgr.}Stgr.(13 e), which is leaden grey; but erubescens and intermedia may well form a species apart, as Staudinger himself suggested.
