NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXI. 19U. 30/ 



8. Gonepteryx cleopatra (Linn.). 



Papilio cleopatra Linnaeus, Syst. Nat. ed. xii. p. 7()5. No. 105 (1767) (Barbaria). 



There are 9 t?c? and 6 ? ? sent b)- Victor Faroult ia 1913 from the mouths 

 of March, April, Jnne, and Angnst. 



9. Colias electo croceus (Fonrcr.). 



Papilio croceus Fourcroy, Enlom. par. ii. p. 250 (1785 — Paris). 



Victor Faroult sent 4 c?(? from April and May 1913 ; and I took a few 

 in 1912. 



NYMFHALIDAE. 



Satyrinae. 

 10. Melanargia ines ines (Hffmgg.). 



Nymphalis ines Hoffmansegg, III. Mag. Ins. lit. p. 205 (1804=iAe<<s Hubn.). 



This is nndonbtedly the most abnudaut of all the Rhopalocera at Gnelt-es- 

 Stel, and the collection contains an enormous series, from the mouth of April, 

 collected by ourselves in 1912 and Victor Faroult in 1913, besides 1 <? and 

 3 ? ? from the month of May. There is a great variation in the extent of 

 the black markings above and in the number and size of the ocelli below. 

 Dr. Slander says the Algerian specimens of M. ines have more iridescent ocelli 

 below than European ones, but I have not sufficient of the latter to determine 

 this point. 



11. Melanargia occitanica (Esp.). 



Papilio Arge occitanica Esp. Schmett. i. 2. pi. 90. if. 3. 4. (1780 — Spain \ = Papilio syllius Herbst. et 

 auct. plur.). 



Only two specimens were received from Faroalt from April 1913, but he sent 

 a long series from Djelfa, farther south. 



12. Satyrus prieuri prieuri Pier. 



Satyrus prieuri Pierret, Aim. Soc. Ent. France, vol. 0. p. 304. pi. 12. f. 0(1837) (Barbaria). 



A very abundant species. Faroult's series are all from Jnne, but at Ain 

 Sefra, Sud Oranais, I have taken it in the latter half of May. 



13. Satyrus abdelkader abdelkader Pierr. 



Satyrus abd-el-kader Pierret, Ann. Soc. Ent. France, vol. 0. p. 19. pi. 1. ff. 5. (1837) (Oran). 



Very common ; the collection contains a large series taken in 1913 by Dr. 

 Nissen and Faroult in August, September, and October. From August there 

 are 11 (J cJ and 2 ? ?, and from October 29 cJe? and 3 ? ¥, while there are 

 1 75 c? cJ and ? ? from September. 



I consider this to be typical abdelkader. The form lambessanus, which is 

 found near Batna, is a spring generation appearing end of April and beginning of 

 May, and does not occur at Gaelt-es-Stel.
