Gortyna catapliracta, Orote. 

 Habitat, Atlantic District. 



Represents in our fauna the European Gortyna flavago. Harris 

 Gortyna leucostiyma is probably the same as Guenee's 7'«/i7«; the 

 name proposed by Harris is preoccupied and cannot be retained in 

 any event. The Gortyna zeae of Harris, I have already referred to 

 Achatodes. Guenee re-describes this species under the specific 

 name of sandix.
