99. Metanastria digramma (Meade-Waldo). 



Macrothylacia rubi subsp. digramma Meade-Waldo, Trans. Eniom. Soc. London, 1905. p. 390. 

 No. 86. pi. xjx. f. 10 (Tangier). 



I have no Mauretanian examples, but a fine series taken by my brother 

 and Dr. Jordan at Cintra and Monehique Algarve in Portugal. My brother was 

 the first collector to take the <J. Unhke rubi, the S is identical in colour with 

 the ?. I consider this insect to be a distinct species from rubi because the 

 diseal transverse lines are much wider apart and because cJ? are alike, whereas 

 they are dissimilar in riibi. The larva in Portugal is much brighter and more 

 variegated with bright golden yellow than the larva of ruhi. 



Mr. Meade-Waldo in his article record.s it from Tangier and Babara. 

 There are 7 or 8 ?? in the British Museum, Mcade-Waldo, Tangier.
