34. Zygaena carniolica orana Dup. 



Zygaena orana Duponchel in Godart's Pap. France, vol. iii. Suppl. ii. p. 145. t. 12. f. 8 (1835) (Oran). 



We have only foimd this insecrt ourselves once, when I captured a single 

 specimen at Tlemcen. I have the very poor series of 12 examples ; quite in- 

 sufficient to demonstrate the characters of the race. It never has an abdominal 

 ring. 



Mr. Meade- Waldo quotes c. orana from Larvishe, April 1902.

35. Zygaena carniolica allardi Oberth. 



Zygaena allardi Oberthiir, Etud. Entom. liv. iii. p. 41. pi. 5. f. 5 (1878) (Marcouna). 



We have taken this race ourselves at Khenchela, where we found it sUghtly 

 less abundant than Z. jelix. It is always distinguishable from c. orana by the 

 abdominal ring, which though sometimes very faint is always present.

2 " Algerie," De5Tolle. 



The British Museum has one specimen, Khenchela, April 1906, Lord 

 Walsingham. Among the Tring series of 399 specimens is one in which the 

 basal half of the forewings resembles c. orana ab. powelli and the outer half 

 carniolica lahayei. 



36. Zygaena carniolica limitans subsp. nov. 



Thi.s form occurs along the littoral from Philippeville to Tunis. It is very 

 small, has no abdominal ring, the ground-colour of the forewing is very dark, 

 and the spots distinct. Resembles most c. orana, but colours darker and duller
