LEPIDOPTERA IN HUNGARY IN JUNE. 283 



but in wretched condition ; I managed, however, to secure two passable 

 specimens, male and female, of this very interesting form of this species. 

 We returned by way of Pecseneska, but did not meet with anything of 

 interest on the way; we walked for some miles through the forest, and, 

 on leaving it, found the road bad, and the walk to the village a very 

 hot one. 



Dr. Fischer, taking a Pararge roxelana at rest on a barn on June 

 24th, indicated that the species was out, and, during the next two 

 days, I managed to take a short but beautiful series among the rocks 

 and undergrowth as indicated in pi. xi., fig. 2. It was, however, a very 

 difficult species to capture, as it had the habit of resting in crevices of 

 old trees, where it was impossible to take it. 



Some nights the electric light proved a great success. Strange and 

 unexpected were the visitors. One would hardly expect to find 

 ( 'ochlidion testudo, male and female, coming freely to light, but stranger 

 still were the visits of three butterflies — Melitaea aihalia, Thecla ilicis, 

 and Bithys (Zephyrus) quercus.

 Neptis lucilla, Hb.— -Occasional specimens were seen in the valley
