1236. Arctia villica angelica (Boisd.). 



Chdonia villica var. an/jelica Boisdvival, Gen. el Ind. Meth. Europ. Lipid, p. 42 (1829) (Spain). 



This form 1 do not possess from Mauretania, and I believe it has hitherto 

 only been recorded from Spain. However, there are two S3 from Tangiers in 

 the British Museum w liich are identical with my series of angelica collected by 

 Dr. Jordan in Portugal and are absolutely distinct from arahum. 



124. Cymbalophora pudica (Esper). 



Bombyjs pudica Esper, Schmeit. vol. iii. p. 177. pi. 33. f. 4 (1784) (?). 



I described the Mauretanian form as pudica magnified, Novit. Zool. vol. xxi. 

 p. 354. No. 316. I find, however, that my diagnosis only fits the scries I have 

 from Ain Draham, and I have since received specimens from north of the Medi- 

 terranean quite as large and bright as any Ain Draham ones. I therefore have 

 come to the conclusion that I cannot maintain my magnified . We have never 

 taken this insect.

On pages 197-198 Fasc. VI. of his Etudes Comfarees, Mr. Oberthiir draws 

 attention to the opinion expressed by Mr. Harold Powell on page 221 of the 

 same Fascicule that haroldi is generically distinct from pudica and proceeds to
