 f. 3 (1842) (Digne Andalusia).

Bombyx liinosa Devilliers, Ann. Soc. Linn. Paris, vo\. v. p. 478 (1826) (Montpellier). 



Mr. Oberthiir tells us he has specimens of this species from Hyercs, Mar- 

 seilles, Montpellier, Vernet-les-Bains, Barcelona, Sebdou, Afloii, and Lambessa, 

 and that the Aflou form is distinct. Besides a lot of old or doubtful material, 

 I have a fine series from Marseilles, 1 from Guelt-es-Stel, and 7 from Alger (1 we 

 got ourselves, and 6 from Captain Holl). On comparing the Alger specimens 

 with those from Marseilles, they all show a browner ground-colour, though not 

 so b^o^v^l as those from Aflou, therefore they must be separated ; and I am 

 convinced that typical limo.su does not occur in Algeria.] 



101. Pachypasa limosa intermedia subsp. nov. 



(J$. Differ from limosa limosa in being more mouse-grey or brownish grey, 

 not silver-grey. 



Habitat. Alger (iMr. Obcrthiir's Lambessa and Sebdou examples also belong 

 to this race). 



This insect was only once found by u.s. On the morning of our departure 

 from Alger in June 1912, when, owing to the sailors' strike at Marseilles, we had 

 to go via Port Vendrcs, a fine $ was picked up near the foot of a large cypress 

 tree in Mustapha Superieur.

Pachypasa limosa powelli Oberthiir, Etiid. Lepidup. Comp. Fasc. XII. p. 343 (1916) (Aflou). 



This form is browner than either I. limosa of Europe or I. intermedia, especi- 

 ally on the hindwings.

We have only taken this insect at Alger, where I got a number of (JcJone 

 evening by " sembhng " \nth a freshly emerged ? lent me by Dr. Nissen aUve. 

 I also bred one <J from a cocoon found by myself near El Biar. The Tring 

 series from Mauretania comprises 49 examples.
