96 NOVJTATES ZOOLOGKAE XXIV. 1917. 



32. Polygonia egea (Cram.) 



Papilio egea Cramer, Pap. Erot. vol. i. part vii. p. 124. pi. Ixxviii. ff. 0. D. (1775) (Constantinople, 



Smyrna). 



Thi.s insect also must be cxtraordmarily scarce in Mauretania, for 1 have 

 heard of no others except Mr. Oberthiir's single specimen and my own two. 



1 Hussein Day, Alger, Captain HoU. 



I Fenson, Morocco, April 1903, W. Riggenbach. 



Captain Holl sold the Hussem Dey example to me as c. album, and it was 

 only when I was writing this article that I found out it was an egea. 



33. Argymiis maja seitzi Fruhst. 



Argynnis maja seUzi Fruhstorfer, Inlern. ErUom. Zeitsclir. Guben, vol. ii. p. 69 (1908) (Alger ! ! !). 



I feel sure Fruhstorfer's type locality rests on an error, for I have no know- 

 ledge of maja seitzi havmg been taken nearer to Alger than Blida, Hammam 

 R'ihra, and the Kabylie (Dr. Seitz states positively in Grossschm. der Erde, vol. i. 

 that the type specimens were taken by himself in the Aures Mountains). 



We have only taken two specimens ourselves ; of these the Hammam 

 R'ihra individual was taken by our taxidermist, Carl Hilgert. 



1 Mazagan, Morocco, May 1902, W. Riggenbach. 

 1 Cap Blanco, Morocco, May 1902, W. Riggenbach. 



4 Tamarouth, Morocco, June 1904, W. Riggenbach. 

 15 Zoudj-el-Beghal, Morocco, July 1914, Faroult. 



21 Masser Mines, June 1914, Faroult. 

 3 Titen Yaya, June 1915, Rotrou. 

 1 Magenta, June 1915, Rotrou. 

 1 Sidi-bel-Abbeii, June 1915, Rotrou. 

 12 LeUa Kredidja, Kabylie, July 1906-1907, Dr. Nissen. 

 7 Blida les Glacieres, June— August 1906-1912, W. R. and K. J., Dr. 

 Nissen and Captain Holl. 



1 Hammam R'ihra, May 1913, W. R. and E. H. 

 3 Teniet-el-Haad, June— July 1905, Dr. Nissen. 



5 Guelt-es-Stel, July 1913, Faroult. 

 3 Khenchela, July 1911, Faroult. 



2 Djebel Zacoar, above Miliana, June 1916, Faroult. 



The Tring series numbers 88 uadividuals. The five labelled by Faroult 

 Guelt-es-Stel, July 1913, did not, I feel sure, come actually from Guelt-es-Stel; 

 from what I know of his movements between May and August 1913, they must 

 have been taken somewhere considerably to the south-east of Guelt-es-Stel. 

 nearer the Foret de Djelfa. 



The British Museum has no specimens of maja seitzi. 



Mr. Meade- Waldo gives in his article Sould Jedid, July 1901, and Tizi 

 Gourza, July 1901, and he remarks that in the north of Morocco he only saw 

 two worn specimens, while in the High Atlas it was abundant. 



Miss Fountaine records this species from Teniet-el-Haad, June 1904, and 

 Sebdou, June and July 1904.
