283. Crocallis boisduvalaria (Lnc). 



Boarmia hoisduvalaria Lucas, Explor. Scieiit. d'Alt/. Aiiiiii. Art. iii. p. .391. pi. 4. f, 1 (IS49) (Euv.

Victor Faroult sent 11 S 6 ami 1 ? taken in the moutlis of .September and 

 October 1913.

Crocallis (hirihiiiiaria Donzel, Aim. Soc. Entoin. France, vol. 9. p. 59. t. 4. f. 2 a, b. (1840) 

 (Marseille). 



This appears to be the first record of tliis species from Algeria. It mnst be 

 ver}- rare, as Faroult only sent 1 S, dated October 7, 1912. 



Oberthiir figures 2 S i from Ain Draham, Tunis, as aberrations of his auberti, 

 but this form can always be recognised by the stigma of the forewing being broken 

 up into a number of separate dots. 



285. Hypoplectis henricaria (Oberth.). 



Stegania henricaria Oberthiir, Elud. Eiitoni. vi. p. 82. t. 11. ft. 16, 17 (1881) (Environs de Sebdon). 



Victor Faroult obtained of this very rare species 4 c? c? and 3 ? ? in March, 

 .5 J c? in April, and 2 cJc? and 1 ? in September 1913. 



The March and April sjiecimens are much larger, and have the oblique post- 

 median band much more sharply defined. I propose for this the name gen. vern. 

 robuxtaria. 



286. Hemerophila japygiaria Costa. 



IJ-j'^pyg aria Costa, Faun. Nap. A. Lep. p. 40. t. 9. f. 5 (1851) (Naples). 



One of the most variable species both in markings, colour, and size ; the 

 largest tJ has an expanse of 44 mm., while the smallest only spans 30 mm. We 

 took one very large and variegated ? on April 17, 1012, and Victor Faroult sent 

 16 c? (? and 5 ? ? from the months of March, April, May, June, July, and August. 



287. Calamodes occitanaria (Dup.). 



Biiarmia occitunariii Dnponchel, Hist. Nat. Lep. vol. vii. p. 340. pi. 159. f. 5 (182G-1832) (France). 



3t?J' of this evidently extremely scarce insect were sent by Faroult, dated 

 October 3, 9, and 13, 1912, and 1 ? dated October K), 1912. 



288. Calamodes bistriata sp. nov. 



? . Resembles ? of occitanaria, but is much darker on the forewing, the 

 median oblique line is double, not single, and the white subterminal baml is much 

 more distinct ; on the hindwing the white subterminal band is narrower and strongly 

 defined. 



Length of forewing 17 mm. ; expanse 37 mm. 



1 ? dated October 3, 1912, Victor Faroult.
