by its dainty appearance and shorter forewings. On an average it is smaller than javonia from Bone and Batna* 
I he steel-grey scaling is somewhat denser than in specimens from E. Algeria, which appear transparent in 
consequence of their sparse scaling. Hairs on thorax are grey and sparse. The most important characteristic

one segment; from the Museum at Tring. It is labelled Masser Mines, Lalla Marnia, mid June 1914 leg

It should be added that Boisditval described and illustrated his balearica twice. Only the second time he 
i us ra ec a specimen from Cadiz. The first description, which is the only one that is valid, is quite different 
iom the second and both illustrations differ materially. Specimens occur among hispanica and variabilis

yellow-led. These have spot 5 diffusing into an axe-like mark. Further spot 1 mav diffuse along the costa as far 
as spot 3 and spot _ may be widely confluent with spot 4. This form occurs in all transitions as an aberration 
and I have specimens from Cuenca, Albarracin, Chiclana and Granada. An intermediate specimen that is 
censefy scaled and with the red heavily admixed with yellow and in which spot 5 diffuses, I have named ab.

en arged. One might denominate the hispanica and variabilis with considerably enlarged forewing spots as 
ab. balecrnca Bsd., it one did not have to wait to see how the sarpedon races from the Balearic Islands on 
which the denomination was based, look. I would therefore propose, that balearica Bsd. is reserved for speci¬ 
mens tom the Balearic Islands and to apply my denomination as subspecies confluenta to the populations from 
To ana and Sierra de Espunna (Mercia). In these the confluence of the spots, the expansion of spot 5, the 
frttZ 18 A a m r6C and the denS6r SCaling of the dark Portions of the wing are constant charact- 
enstics. Among the many specimens which I have had for comparative purposes, there is only 1 from Totana
