 1 bave the two originai Sicilian specimens of caìthella L., var. b. 

 described by Zeller (Isis 1847. 814), uow recognised as beiug identical 

 with isobasdla Stgr., which should now stand is the Sicilian List, t 

 am able to compare with them fourteen specimens, taken by myself 

 at Palermo and Syracuse— ali are entirely devoid of any purple tinge 

 at the b;ise of the forewings, and this applies to both sexes. I must now 

 withdraw a uiisleading statement, pnblished in 1901, (Ent. Mo. Mag. 37. 

 238) as f<)llow.s; — «. Micropteryx isohasdla Stgr., of which I did not 



previously ])osses malcs the cf has a distinct purple mark at 



the base of the forewing.s, which is co'isistently absent in the 9. » The 

 specimens from which I formed this opinion were taken at Granada,
