[In Noritates Zoologicae xx. p. 129 I identified the Algerian subspecies of 

 A. i^pilota (Ersch.) as Anumeta he iikei (iii&ni). On p. 469 of the same volume 1 

 described this form as A. henkei harterti. I now find that I have referred this form 

 to the wrong species, and it must stand as Anumeta spilota harterti, or, as some 

 writers conclude (I disagree), as Anumeta atro.signata harterti. Sir George Hampson 

 has united my harterti with spilota as identical, but this is certainly not the case ; 

 harterti is paler, much more sandy yellow, and the markings are much sharper; 

 it is a good local subspecies. The late Mr. W. Warren in Seitz, iii. p. 388 has 

 mixed uj) my ^4. h. harterti with my ^1. major {Nov. Zool. xx. p. ]3u. No. 79 (1!)13) 

 (N. of El Golea) ). He figures harterti and describes major, and calls tiiis combination 

 harterti. The facts are that A. major is a perfectly distinct species, the ? of which 

 is the largest of the genus. I have lately received from Herr Geyr von 8chwe{)- 

 peuburg 19 6S and .5 ? ? from the country round the Hoggar ^Mountains.] 



47. Aleucanitis philippina (Aust.) 



Ltiicanilis jihilijjpina Austaut, Le Naturaliste, 1880, p. 237 (Oran). 



Mr. Warren has quite failed to understand the description of Austant and also 

 the Staudinger-Rebel Catalogue. Dr. Hartert's collection contains a S and a ? 

 which clearly have the black bar running in from the outer band to the base. 

 ^1. philippina is quite a distinct species and not a form of ^4. cailino.

48. Aleucanitis cailino (Lef.) 



IlcUothis cailino Lefebvre, Ann. Hoc. Linn. Paris, 1827, p. 94, t. 6. f. 1 (Sicily). 



1 S, 1 ?, Oued Nra, April 16-30 (1914). 



49. Armada panaceorum distincta subsp. nov. 



cJ. Much paler than p. panaceorum, and the markings on the forewiug much 

 more sharply defined. The white patch in the black band of hindwing is also 

 much larger.
