296 THE entomologist's record. 



near gardens. P. daplidicc, Esp., was a very abundant butterfly in 

 most localities visited. 



Knchlo'e beleinia, Hb. — March 31st I took a fine but short series at 

 Linea. — One 5 on the road at Cape Spartel April 2nd. Several at 

 Ronda April 20th and one or two at Granada quite beginning of May.. 

 Not met with at Malaga. 



7'A beh'iiiia var. //lauce, Hb. — This summer brood was in perfect 

 condition and fairly common at Algeciras in the fields along the coast 

 line to the west of the town on May 26th. Two in the cork woods, 

 May 23rd. 



>;. belia, Esp. — A most abundant species at Ronda and on the 

 higher plateau at Granada. The form was quite a small one compared 

 with the Riviera specimens. Not met with either in the Gibraltar area 

 or at Malaga. 



/'/'. belia var. ausonia. — Occurred at Granada at end of May. 



K. tai/i.s, Esp.^ — A beautiful series at Ronda, from April 20th to 26th. 

 The specimens are about the size of var. belli'zi>w, and not nearly so large 

 as the cork wood specimens. 



E. eupheno, Stgr. — Two ? s and three S s Cape Spartel, and saw 

 others, April 2nd. 



K. eiiplienoide^, Stgr. — Occasional specimens at Ronda and Granada 

 (in ravines). 



Zeffrin eiipheme, Esp. var. meridionalis. — Granada. The first was 

 taken on May 1st, and occurred until the 7th in very beautiful order. 

 Owing perhaps to cUmatic conditions, I did not meet with it again 

 until May 21st, when I took a very fine specimen. This grand species 

 is very quick on the wing, but is attracted by flowers (the wild mustard 

 being a favourite plant), when it may with care be captured. 



Le/Jtidia tihiapis var. lathi/ri, Hb. — -A solitary specimen in the cork 

 Avoods, May 23rd. 



Colias Injalf, God. — Granada. One very worn specimen on May 3td, 

 the only example seen during the whole of my stay. 



(?. cditsa, God. — A very common butterfly throughout; oia.h. hclice 

 Hb., several fine examples were taken at Algeciras, May 26th. 



Goneptenj.r deopatra, Esp. — Hibernated specimens occurred at 

 Malaga and Ronda. 



]'i/raiiit'is atalanta, Esp. — Gibraltar specimens Were worn on 

 March 29tli. 



P. cardiii, Esp. — A solitary worn specimen was seen day after day 

 at the same spot at Granada. At Algeciras on May 24th the summer 

 brood was just emerging, and the species was in the greatest 

 profusion, attracted by the thistle bloom. They were in the most 

 j)erfect condition. 



Vaneasa (Aj/lais) nrticae, Esp. — Occasional specimens on the higher 

 plateau, Granada. 



Melitaea iihoebe var. occitanica. Stg. — A very abundant species at 

 Granada ; found in the "open," and very partial to flowers of lavender 

 May 4th to 21st. 



A/, dejone, Dup., var. nefadensix. — Another abundant species. 

 Granada May 6th to 21st but only met with in the ravines, which 

 intersect the hills in so many directions. In these ravines I detected 

 an abundance of a species of Antirr/iitiuiii. Possibly its food plant. 



M(danari/ia ines, Dup. — One 3' at Ronda on April 26th.
