Dr. Hartei't foniid young larvsu^ of this iiii<cct, in great, inuubers in the Oued 

 Mia, feeding on .Ujihodebis IciiHiJoVnis. 



[In tlie southern Oued Mya, north of Ain (Jueftura, on Ajirii 11 many 

 hundreds were seen flying and visiting the numerous tiowers in full sunshine, 

 while in the otlier i)laces they were eanght at light in the evening. — E. II.] 



LTMANTRIIDAE. 



22. Ocneria uniformis sp. nov. 



1 ? , South Oued Mya ; 1 ? , Ain Guettara. 



?. I'alpi orange yellow; antennae shaft crimson buff; jiectinations lirown- 



lilack; head, thorax and abdomen cinnamon baft'. Forewing cinnamon buflf, 



a slight rusty spot on lower discocellnlar. Hindwing cinnamon. 



Tjength of forewing : IH — 20 ram. 



This is allied to O. ruhca, but the forewiugs are hinger and more (iroduced, 

 aud, beyond tlie slight rusty scaling at end of cell, are entirely devoid of 

 marliing. 



2:J. Lymantria oberthuri 1-nc. 



1 S, Oued Saadana, south of Ghardaia. 



I have oidy s("en one other specimen of this rare and beautiful species, also 

 a.S, which I took in lOO'.i at Bordj Ferdjau, between Ell-Oued and Touggourt. 

 The types were caught in Tunisia. 



24. Albarracina warionis warionis (ttberth.). 



4 ? ? , Oued N.:a. 



This very rare species has had a variety of vicissiludi^s as regards its iiotuen- 

 clature. Oiierthiir in 1881 described it in the si.xth jiart of his " ICtudes " under 

 the name of Bomhijx iraiioiii.i, saying Ik; could not define its position till the 

 i was discovered. His type was ca]>tured in 1807 in the jirovinee of Gran. In 

 1883 the late Dr. Standinger described two specimens, S ?, caught by Ma.\ 

 Korb at Albarracin in Spain in August, as Alhurracina korhi (E/it Zrit. SUtthi, 

 m. 17!l-8i)). In their ('titriloi/ der Lrjiidoiiteren dcs Palaearcfischeii Faaiiengebieteis 

 Drs. Standinger and Hebid jdace Oberthiir's Bomhi/x warioiiix \n the Xotodoiitidne 

 under the genus I'lmacrii, and in brackets " (hujus generis ?)." There matters 

 remained till 1906, when Herr Bang-Haas described a S from Tunis in Iris xix. 

 as differing by the partial absence of the discal band from Alharrat:inii korhi. 

 In tlie Eiitomnlo(jisclie Zeititclirift Stuttgnit, xxiii. ]). 142 (No. 32), November 6, 

 lOOll, I named this Nortli African form as subspecies //nm/fiaasi, having in IKO'.i 

 cajrfnred a (? at Bordj Ferjan on the way to El-Oucd, in the Oued Souf, South 

 Algeria. Finally, Dr. E. Strand, December 22, 1910, in Seitz' Macrolepidoptera of 

 the World, named this same form var. dmndaloUi. I therefore tjiink it will help 

 to clear up the confusion if I here give a synopsis of the whole genus.
