" I have come to the conclusion that Pyrgus diomus, Hopff., is 

 really distinct from P. ferox, Wallgr., although Wallengren 

 himself in 1872 sank the latter in favour of the former. None of 

 the South-African specimens that I have seen agrees with Hopffer's 

 description and figures in the important point of the white bands 

 on the underside of the hind wings, which markings are always 

 much more oblique in the southern examples. The other day I 

 received a pair from Zanzibar, which exactly agree with Hopffer's 

 figures. So I think we may call the abundant southern form 

 P. ferox. By the way, what Dr. Staudinger figures as my P. san- 

 daster is apparently P. ferox." (E. Trimen, in Uteris, 1894.)
