Crocallh fulighuim Rothschild, Nov. Zuol. vol. xi.*:. p. iL'fi (1912) (Batna). 



BIr. Louis B. Prout, to whom I am much indebted for most valuable help, 



considered my /uliginosa as a form oi auberti Oberth. This year (1914), however, 



I received from Captain Holl and Dr. Nissen a series of true Crocallis auberti 



from the neighbourhood of Alger, and it is evidently quite distinct from my 



fuliginosa-^m fact it approaches much closer to dardoiiiaria Donz. * 



Victor Faroult sent in 6 c? c? and 3 ? ? from September and October 1912 and 

 1913. 



* They can be distinguished at once, apart from other characters, by the different curvature of the 

 postmedian line on underside of forewing.
