P.IBT.IOGRAPHY. 389 



Lepidopte7'a were figured, in addition to other insects, three 

 rather important works on Italian Lepidoptera were published 

 during the last century. A large portion of the second volume 

 of Rossi's "Fauna Etrusca " (Liburni, 1790), is devoted to 

 Lepidoptera \ and several more species are described in his 

 "Mantissa Insectorum "(Pisa, 1 792-1 794). A later work is 

 De Prunner's "Lepidoptera Pedemontana" (Turin, 1798); but 

 this includes only Butterflies and Sphinges. 



The most useful work on Italian Lepidoptera issued during 

 this century is the section devoted to the order in Costa's 

 " Fauna del Regno di Napoli," published in quarto, with 

 coloured plates, at Naples, from 1832 to 1836. 



Corsica. 



This Fauna is fairly well-known, but there is no exhaustive 

 work. In 1832 and 1833, Rambur published a catalogue of 

 the Lepidoptera in the " Annales de la Societe Ento- 

 mologique de France," vols, i and 2. There are also some 

 observations on Corsican Lepidoptera^ by Bellier de la 

 Chavignerie, in the same '"Annales " for 1862. 



Spai7i. 



Rambur has given an account of a portion of the Macro- 

 Lepidoptera of Southern S])ain in his " Faune Entomologique 

 de I'Andalusie" (Paris, 1838-1839); and " Catalogue systema- 

 tique des Lepidopteres de I'Andalusie " (Paris, 1858 and 1866). 



Greece. 



Dr. Staudinger's " Beitrag zur Lepidopteren Fauna Griechen- 

 lands" was published in the " Horai Societatis Entomological 

 Rossicas," vol. xii.j for 1870.
