  Digne 
  insect 
  must 
  also 
  be 
  looked 
  upon 
  as 
  a 
  local 
  race 
  of 
  

   harrettii. 
  My 
  friend, 
  the 
  late 
  Rev. 
  F. 
  E. 
  Lowe 
  of 
  Guernsey, 
  

   sent 
  me 
  a 
  specimen 
  of 
  the 
  insect 
  described 
  by 
  Tutt 
  as 
  D. 
  

   luteago 
  var. 
  lowei 
  (Ent. 
  Record, 
  1898, 
  vol. 
  x, 
  p. 
  150), 
  but 
  this 
  

   proves 
  on 
  examination 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  D. 
  harrettii. 
  It 
  is 
  

   rather 
  more 
  ochreous 
  than 
  D. 
  harrettii 
  from 
  England 
  and 
  

   Ireland, 
  and 
  more 
  like 
  the 
  insect 
  from 
  Digne.
