NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIV. 1917. 97 



Mr. Gibbs records it from Oran, May 1910, and Tlemcen, May 1910. 



The specimens of Captain Holl are labelled Environs d' Alger, but Blida lea 

 Glacieres was formerly included by him in that term ; though he later specified 

 the actual places when he found it advantageous to do so. 



34. Argymiis paphia dives Oberth. 



Argynnis paphia var. dives Oberthiir, Bull. Soc. Entom. France, p. 26 (1908) (Kabylie, Yakouren). 



We have not found this species ourselves, as we never remained in Algeria 

 late enough, for it is not on the wing before the end of June at the earliest. 

 11 Leila Kredidja, July 1907, Dr. Nissen. 

 13 Environs de Batna, Nelva. 

 2 Lambessa, July 1912, Nelva. 



Of these 26 specimens in the Tring Museum, 1 S from Batna and 1 ? from 

 Leila Kjedidja have silver stripes on the underside of the hmdwing { = ab. 

 argyrea Oberth.). 



No specimens of •paphia dives are in the British Museum. 



35. Argynnis auresiana Fruhst. 



Argynnis adippe auresiana Fruhstorfer, Intern. Entom. Zeitschr. Ouben, vol. ii. p. 69 (1908) 

 (Aur& Mountains). 



This also flies much later in the year than we ever stayed in Algeria, so 

 that Tring Museum has none of our own collectmg. There appear to be no 

 differences perceivable between specimens from the Kabylie Mountains and 

 those from the Aures Mountains. 



Ml-. Charles Oberthiir considers auresiana a good distinct species and cites 

 Dr. Reverdin as witness ; the latter having compared the <J genitalia and 

 found them very distinct from adippe. I think under the circumstances it is 

 advisable to accept this viev, , until Dr. Jordan can confirm or disprove it by 

 the examination of a number of specimens of both. 



11 Leila Kredidja, Kabylie, July 1907, Dr. Nissen. 



95 Environs de Lambezc, June 1912-1914, Nelva. 



:i6. Argynnis lathonia (Linn.). 



Papilio lathonia Linnaeus, Syst. Nat. vol. i. p. 481. No. 141 (1758) (Europe). 



We only once found this insect at Mustapha Superior, when Dr. Hartert 

 caught a fine specimen with his hat. This is accounted for by the fact that the 

 insect is never out in its full numbers till later in the year than we have been 

 in Algeria ; but it is strange that I have only received three other specimens 

 during the last nine years. 



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



1 Titen Yaya, June 1915, Rotrou. 



1 Envnons d'Alger, May 1913, W. R. and E. H. 



1 Djelfa, June 1913, Faroult. 



The British Museum has 2 Algerian specimens ; 1 Lambessa, May 1882, 

 H. J. Elwes ; 1 Alger, Leech coll. 



Mr. Meade- Waldo in his article records Sould Jedid and Tsauritz Entsa- 

 gauz, July 1901.
