We onlj- came across this species once when the landlord of the liotel at 

 Oran gave us a specimen which had flown into his office the day before our 

 arrival. Curious to relate, it is in fine condition, only wanting one antenna.

(In the first section of this paper {Rhopalocera) I did not indicate the sexes 

 of the Tring series : I have put them in in this section wherever I thought it 

 was of importance.) 



While this article was going through the press, I received a large number 

 of lepidoptera from Mr. Rotroii, among which were : 160 Smerinthus ocellatus 

 ath.nticus from Le Kreider, April 1917; and 82 Amorpha populi a usta uti a,ho 

 from Le Kreider, April 1917. This brings the series in the Tring Museum up 

 to 207 and 196 respectively. There were also among them 20 Dicranura vinula 

 delavoiei from Magenta, April 1917, and 25 Saturnia pavonia-major from Detrie 

 near Sidi-bel-Abbes, April 1917.
