 1782. meone. Cramer. — "Pap. ex.," vol. iv., p. 51, pi. 314 



(described and figured from an Algerian form). [Tutt 



discusses this form (in lit.) and considers it a var. of 



mjeria. Most writers do the same."] 

 1789. vieone. Esper.— " Abbild.," p. 9, pi. 95, cont. 50 (described 



and figured an insect from Nimes, which he considered 



to be Cramer's )iieoue). [Tutt says {in lit.) " Where to 



place this I don't know. . . . Kirby does not place 



this figure under ayeria — Staudinger makes it equal the 



type, which it certainly does not."] 

 1832. .viphia. Boisduval. — " Icones," vol. i., p. 238, figs. 6 and 7. 



[Butler says, " Cat. Sat.," p. 128, " This insect has 



nothing to do with the adphia of Fabricius. M. Boisduval 



suggests the possibility of its being a varietj' of meone, 



which it neither resembles in structure, pattern nor 



coloration."] 

 1847. vulgaris. Zeller.— " Isis," p. 145 (from an example from 



Naples). 

 1871. xiphioides. Staudinger. — " Cat.," ed .ii., p. 30 (diagnoses 



a Canary Is. insect as var. xiphioides of xiphia), [Bethune- 



Baker, I.e., says that it is undoubtedly a local race of 



fegeria.] 

 1871. et/erides. Staudinger. — "Cat.,"ed. ii., p. 30 (as first reviser 



of the Fabrician scope of mjeria restricts the original name 



to the S. European form, and names the northern form 



egerides, ignoring the prior tircis, Geof.] 

 1896. pallida. Tutt.—" Brit. Butt.," p. 387 (described and named 



the extreme pale form from Irish specimens). 

 1896. intermedia. Tutt. — I.e. (described and named the form 



between the type tryeria and the e/jerides form, typified by 



examples from Central France). 

 1908. canuena. Fruhstorfer. — " Int. Ent. Zeit.," Guben, p. 9 



(local race from the Tyrol). 

 1908. er/estas. Fruhstorfer.— ^.c. (local race from Dalmatia). 

 1908. fortnnata. Fruhstorfer. — I.e. (Canary Islands). [I can 



express no opinion on these three, except that the last 



must run xi/i/uoides veiy closely.] 

 1908. sidoa. Verity.— " Bull. Soc. Ent. It.," 1908, p. 114, fig. 7 



(the slightly modified Sardinian race).
