I have already recorded this species from Madeira, and Prof. 

 Rebel mentions a Tenerife specimen which I have seen in 

 Mi*. White's collection. I took a fine c? at Guimar on April 

 4th. These specimens have a salmony pink hue in the ground- 

 colour of the forewings, which is wanting in European specimens. 

 I have three specimens, taken in Algeria, which resemble the 

 Canary form, and to which I had given the MS. name " 

 as all the markings correspond with those of English 

 Hw., it is perhaps sufficient to indicate these and the Canary and 

 Madeiran specimens under this varietal name, taking my Guimar 

 rf (99000) as the Type of this variety.
