We have taken this insect in I'Jll at Tilghempt and GhanhiVa, and I have 

 received a few specimens from Bou Saada, from Victor Faronit. Hitherto it has 

 been extremely rare in collections, and there is only a single specimen in tlie F.ritish 

 Mnsenm, from Fontaine C'hande, Biskra.

The species was originally described from Spain. It is shown by this tine 

 series to be extremely variable. The phase originally described has blnish monse- 

 grey forewings and the markings very faint. Another phase has the central 

 two-thirds of forewing longitudinally pale cinnamon ; this I will name ab. rufitincta 

 ab. nov. A third form has the forewings more ash-grey with an obliqne dusky 

 band from ajiex to inner nuirgin, one-fourth from tornus, and the basal three-fourths 

 of wing below median fohl black ; this 1 name ab. (li.sliiirtu ab. nov. A fourth form 

 resembles tin; last, but has all markings much darker and mon.' distinct and the 

 wiiole wing snll'iised with black-brown ; for this 1 pro[)osi' the name ab. .•idtnnitinr 

 ail. nov.
