PHILIP P. CALVBRT. 99 



than to that of chrysoMlipna (page 85, ante). A further agree- 

 ment with caffra and ditference from cJiryffodighia is contained in M. 

 Albarda's description (Selys 1887, I. c. p. 20) of the internal hamu- 

 lar branch of barbara as " munie d'un crochet noir-luisant dont la 

 pointe est tournee en arriere". I am unable, however, to decide the 

 question thus raised. The notes which I made in August, 1896, are 

 as follows : 



Selys' type of Lib. harlmra, with label in liis haiulwritiiig " L. barbara Selys % 

 type Alger a renvoyer", has pterostigma yellow, cross-veins in costal and subcostal 

 spaces and between the median sector and the upper sector of the arciilus yellow. 

 Two rows of cells between the subnodal sector and the next following supple- 

 mentary sector, except in the right hind wing. Sectors of the triangle of the 

 hind wings a little separated at origin. Penis projecting so that the hamule is not 

 easily seen, but considerable variation in the form of the hamule exists in the 

 specimens in S.coll. from Tangiers and Daraara and the differences from the form 

 of brachialis [Ca.\y. ^=contracta Kamb.] do not seem to be great enough to be specific. 



I am unable to correlate the figures of the genitalia of chryso- 

 stignia Karsch, Berl. Ent. Zeit. xxxix, p. 15, 1894, with that I give 

 here, PI. I, fig. 11, from Burmeister's type.

 ? Lib. barbara Selys. See under chrysostigma above. 



The referring of fasciolata to caffra is on the authority of Baron 

 de Selys (Ann. Mus. Civ. Stor. Nat. Genova, xvi, p. 222, 1881) who 

 remarks " I tipi di Burmeister erano di Porto Natal, raccolti da 

 Drege. Quelli di Rambur, il quale non ha conosciuto die le fiem- 

 mine, sono indicati come provenienti dal Capo di Buona Speranza. 

 Essi facevano parte della CoUezione Serville, che oggidi e riunita 

 alia mia." I have not studied Rambur' s types, but his description 

 .seems to agree with that of caffra. 



The agreement of the descriptions of subfasciolata Brauer (the 

 type of which I have not studied) with that of caffra likewise 

 induces me to regard that name as synonymous. 



I have compared two of the six types of truncatum Calvert and 

 am satisfied that they also are caffra.
