126. Cleophana versicolor Stdgr. 



Cleophana difflnens ab. versicolor, Cat. Lep. Pal. ed. iii. p. 214, No. 2216a (UlOl) (Mauritania). 



There has been a considerable variety of opinion concerning tlie status of the 

 Cleophaims di/flaeiis, diffluent lusitanica, vaulogeri, fatima, versicolor, maroccami, 

 and i/vanii, some authors treating them as aberrations and subspecies of one single 

 species, others saying they are all distinct. 



Tliis year (1914) we captured in April and May at Hammam Meskoutine, from 

 whence I also have versicolor, a very large almost black form of di/f/uens of the 

 type of d. lusitanica. This has convinced me that versicolor is quite distinct li-om 

 difjiuens, and I suspect that it represents maroccana in Algeria, and shonld stand as 

 Cleophana maroccana diffl.uens, but it is so different from true maroccana that 1 

 prefer for the present to treat it as a distinct sfjecies. 



Faroult sent in 12 of this species from Aju'll and May 1913. 



127. Amephana warionis (Oberth.).
