prefer to give it the benefit of the doubt and apply the name to the western form 

 of the insect Mr. Oberthiir calls tenuicornia.

43. Procris orana algirica subsp. nov. 



Procris orana var. algirica, Staudinger in litt. 



Differs from orana orana in being larger and deeper and richer in colour. 



Habitat. Province of Constantine. 



Two Batna <J<J stand out conspicuously from the rest by the strong, glittering 

 metallic sheen of their forewings resembUng that of the thorax of Procris cMoris. 

 On dissection these will probably prove to be a new species, but at present I can 

 only place them here. The Tring series numbers 152.

 86 Environs de Batna, 1913-1914, A. Nelva. 



2 Mauretania, Staudinger. 



There are specimens showing blue as well as green and golden green suffusion. 



44. Procris bellieri prasina subsp. nov. 



Differs from bellieri by the total absence of blue, this colour being replaced by 

 brilliant brassy green, and by its large size. Length of forewing, 16mm. Expanse, 

 35'5 mm. 



Habitat. Ain Draham, Tunisia. 



The antennae are very long and thick, and very blunt owing to the great 

 extent of fusion of the anterior joints, 



2 Ain Draham, June 1909, Faroult. 



In addition to these I have 1 (J and 2 ?? from Khenchela and 1 ? from Ain 

 Draham of a Procris I am at present unable to identify.

45. Dysauxes punctata servula (Berce). 



Noclia aervula Berce, Ann. Soc. Entom. France, ser. 4. vol. ii. p. 386 (1862) (Hyfires). 



This race of punctata is so distinct that Mr. Oberthiir considers it specifically 

 so, and possibly it may be ; but as true punctata has not been taken with it, I 

 prefer for the present to consider it only subspecifically distinct. It appears to 

 be very rare, and we only came across it once at Hammam Meskoutine.
