51. Satyrus (Cercyonis) abdelkader abdelkader Pierret. 



Salyrua ahddkadcr Pierret, Ann. Soc. Eiitom. France, vol. vi. p. 19. pi. i. ff. 5, 6 (1837) (Oran).

The British Museum has 7 specimens of this form : 4 Algeria, Crowley

 I Sebdou, 1880-1882, Dr. Codet ex Elwes coll. 



The Tring Museum series comprises 296 specimens. 



Mr. Meade-Waldo in his article records this insect from Tizi Gourza, July 

 1901. 



51a. Satyrus (Cercyonis) abdelkader nelvai Seitz. 



Satyrns abdelkader nelvai Seitz, Soc. Entom. vol. xsvi. p. 49 cum. fig. rj? (1911) (Aures Mountains). 



Dr. Seitz in above description states that the exact point whence the types 

 of this form were brought to Mr. Nelva was unknown. Mr. Nelva, who furnished 

 me with the four specimens I have, informs me, however, that his Arab "Chasseurs" 

 captured them on the Djebel Menaa. Mr. Harold Powell, who sent to Mi-. 

 Oberthiir several hundreds of this fine insect, states that it is comparatively 

 very rare on Menaa, and that its principal stronghold is the Djebel MetlUi and 

 the adjacent peaks to the west of El Kantara. 



4 Djebel Menaa, Aures Mountains, Nelva coll. 



The British Museum has no specimen. 



51 6. Satyrus (Cercyonis) abdelkader lambessanus Stdgr. 



Satyrus abdelkader var. lambessanus Staudinger, in Stdgr. and Rebel, Cat. Lepid. Palaear. Fanng. 

 p. 58. No. 377 a. (1901) (Lambeasa). 



This form is now the best Icnown and the commonest in collections, for 

 very few entomologists go to West Algeria. 



79 Envkons de Batna, April— May 1908-1914, Nelva and Taillefer. 



The British Museum has 5 specimens : 1 Mauretania ! ! Grum-GrshimaUo 

 coU. ex Elwes coll. ; 1 Lambessa, Hewitson coll. ; 1 Lambessa, May 1882, J. H. 

 Elwes ; 1 Lambessa, 1875, R. Oberthiir ex Elwes coll. , 



52. Satyrus (Minois) actaea (Esp.). 



Papilio actaea Esper, Schmett. vol. i. part ii, t. 57. ff. 1 a. b. (1780) (Europe?). 



This species has only been recorded from Mauretania, and in his article he 

 gives Tsauritz Entsagauz and Tizi Gourza, July 1901. 



5:5. Satyrus (Eumenis) atlantis Aust. 



Satyrus atlantis Austaut, Int. Entom. Zeitsch. Guben, vol. xix. p. 29 (1905) (Tsauritz Entsagauz, 

 Meade-Waldo). 



This species was unfortunately described a few months before Mr. Meade- 

 Waldo's article appeared from specimens collected by him, or rather by Mr. 

 Vaucher travelling with him ; so that his name moroccana must give way to 

 atlantis Aust.
