 (S. of El Goleaj. 



In vol. xxii. p. 234, under no. 46, I drew attention to the 

 fact that 8ir George Hampson, in his forthcoming volume xiv. 

 of the 'Catalogue,' is uniting both sjnlota, Ersch. and my 

 harterti as identical with ati'usignata of Walker. 1 cannot 

 agree with him in this. Although desert insects are certainly 

 very widespread, I hnd the species of the genus Anumeta 

 vary locally very considerably. The truth is that atrosignata 

 is divisible into three quite recognisable local races, and must 

 stand as follows : — 



Anumeta atrosignata atrosignatuj Walk. — Western India, 



tSeind. 

 Much paler and smaller, markings indistinct.
