I have already I'ecorded this species from Madeira, and Prof. 

 Rebel mentions a Tenerife specimen which I have seen in 

 Mr. "White's collection. I took a fine S at Guimar on April 

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

 ■colour of the forewings, Avhich 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 " salmonis": 

 as all the markings correspond with those of English domestica 

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

 Madeiran specimens under this varietal name, taking my Guimar 

 <? (99000) as the Type of this variety.
