The extraordinary breadth of the fore -wings (which are as broad 

 as those of the preceding species, although of considerably less ex- 

 panse) is alone sufficient to distinguish this from the two other 

 species of this Section.

Diptita lusitanica, Hoffm. MSS. quoted by Leach. 

 This species (to which I have restored Illiger's specific name, 

 which has been overlooked by all subsequent authors, although 

 several years prior to Leach's) is at once distinguished from the 

 two preceding species by the shape of the fore-wings, of which the 

 anterior margin is almost straight, at least for two-thirds of the 

 length of the wing ; they are consequently not so greatly dilated as 

 in the two preceding. The colour of the wings is also of a much 

 richer yellow, and the markings are fine brown, instead of obscure 

 black.

 The short description given above is taken from a specimen in my 

 collection, which was captured by Olivier himself near Bagdad, and 

 for which I am indebted to my friend Audouin.
