THELEPROCTOPHYLLA BARBARA AND VARIEGATA. 



each other: no doubt they are distinct. I give here their 

 characters opposite to each other. The appendices of male and 

 female of variegata having never been figured, I give a rough 

 drawing of them. I think that, Hagen has not compared 

 Klug's type with Barbara L., or has not seen it and judged 

 only after Klug's figure. This figure represents a female 

 which has lost its »phylla". 



Theleproctophylla barbara L. is spread over the southern 

 parts of Europe and the Grecian archipelago. Th. variegata 

 Klug occurs in Syria (Klug's types), Lycia (coll. Albarda) 

 and Mesopotamia (coll. van der Weele).
