dusky, the white belts of abdomen are absent and the legs are black. — Two new sub-forms of obturata

Ch - seitzi P ,u J lr - ( Vo1 - T p. 400, pi. 51 1). It was already mentioned in the original description that 
the species was subject to variation and this has induced many denominations. The type of seitzi $ has a red 
>e on abdomen, specimens without same have not yet been named. — louisae Le Gerf (16 h) has the last 4 
segments of abdomen red in the <?, in the $ only the last 3 are red. On forewings the colour is more of a 
vermilion and the margin is more widely dusted with black. From Lambessa, where seitzi also occurs. The 
moroccan form — palhpes Le Gerf differs from louisae only by the ochreous white spurs and tarsi to the 
3 pairs of kgs. aicha $ Le Gerf is also a moroccan form, differing from louisae by traces of hyaline patches 
m and behind the cell of forewings. — A transition to same is phoenix Le Gerf from Morocco.' In the A the 
costa is widely black to vein 7 and the disco-cellular nervure merges in same. In and behind the cell there 
are vestiges of hyaline patches, which are dusted with black and reddish. Outer margin is narrowly black 
Hindwings hyaline. In the ? there are no hyaline patches on forewings, the cell is black. The 3 last seg¬ 
ments of abdomen on upper side and the 4 last segments on underside are black. Morocco. — Larger speci¬ 
mens of all these forms can also be designated by the supplementary name: major Rothsch. 
Ch. schmidtiiformis Frr. (Vol. 2, p. 401, pi. 52 e). Already in Vol. 2, two exceptionally pale yellow 99 
pouloh. were mentioned from Ivoma, corresponding to chrysidiformis-castiliana. They can be classified as pouloti Le Gerf. 
All the reddish patches of wings, legs and body are yellow.
