ornatior Blachier, 1905 ( mauretanica Schultz, 1908, africana Stichel, 1907), (N Africa: Algeria, Morocco: "Tangier")
The name ornatior is not the correct one for the N African representative. canteneri (Heydenrich i.l.) Staudinger, 1861 (= canteneri Heyd. 1851, was originally applied to African populations and is the valid name, cf Felder and Felder (1864), Rothschild (1917), canteneri is generally considered a European form but the type locality was fixed 'Algeria' by the Felder brothers (l.c.) whereas Staudinger (1861) only, and apparently erroneously, referred the name to the Iberian form ochracea. Manley and Allcard (1970) following Bryk (1934) referred to canteneri Staudinger as an orange aberration of both sexes which is frequent in Morocco but occasionally appears in warmer parts of South Spain.
