59. Pararge aegeria meone (Cram.). 



Papilio meone Cramer, Pap. Exot. vol. iv. part xxvi. p. 51. t. cccxiv. ff. E. F. (1780) (Alger). 



This insect is plentiful everywhere in the Tell and Atlas, but becomes rarer 

 on the " Hauts Plateaux," and it is only incidentally found along the edge of 

 the desert and ceases within 15-20 mUes of Biskra altogether. The form from 

 Mauretania is certainly brighter and more rufous in the <S, and the fulvous yellow 

 of the ? is more extended than in the typical aegeria aegeria from Southern 

 Europe. The series of Mauretanian examples at Tring consists of 148 specimens.
