Photo of Z. lysimon from Egypt, West France, Mergui, Simla. — I find three very 

 distinct forms of the clasps 

 of this species. In one form 

 the end of the clasp slopes, 

 so that the terminal spines 

 are the part furthest from 

 the base. This form 1 

 have from Natal, Anda- 

 lusia, Aden, Sheik Othman 

 [Knysna). 



Form II. has a deep 

 recess in the middle of the 

 distal margin, so that the 

 terminal spines point in 

 the same direction as in 

 Form I., but the other end 

 of the margin is the 



furthest from the base. My specimens of this form profess to come from West France, 

 Egypt, Mergui (labelled Sangra in Moore's collection) and Simla. 



A third form of clasp has the terminal margin at right angles to the line of the 

 haft, a difference from Form I. that is perhaps increased in appearance in the 

 photographs, but is certainly not caused by the attitude of the specimens. This form 

 I have only from Teneriffe.
