 Elis, Fab. 



villosa, Fab. — Several ^ and ? , Gibraltar. The females are all of the variety 

 ■with the abdomen quite black, and the majority of them have three suhmargina 

 cells, whereas it is a curious character in this species, as described by Saussure, that 

 although the $ has three, the $ has only two submarginals ; in my specimens, thi'ee 

 have the three submarginals complete in both wings, three have the nerve between 

 the 2nd and 3rd abbreviated above in the right hand wing, one has it interrupted 

 near the middle in the left wing, and one has it abbreviated above in both. 



Saussure and Sichel, Cat. Spec. Gen. Scolia, p. 292, say that they have seen 

 a large number of specimens of both sexes taken near Montpellier, and at p. 294, 

 they remark that of the specimens in their collection, four males have the three 

 cubital cells complete, five males have only two complete, ten males have two 

 cubital cells in one wing and three in the other, and of thirty-six females all have 

 the three cubitals complete. It is very curious that in Mr. Walker's captures the 

 twelve males have all the cubital cells, viz., three, complete, whereas the variations 

 occur in the females.
