12 THE entomologist's RECORD. 



suffusion on the hindwings of the 9 . C. pampkilKs was often of the 

 ab. maniinata. 



Finally, of the Papilionids and Pierids Iphiclides podaliriiis was as 

 rare this year as it is usually frequent. The common Pierids were as 

 common and as destructive as elsewhere, but Picris napi was never 

 abundant. The g. a. napaeae showed in many cases remarkably little 

 suft'usion alongthe veinsof the undersideof theposteriorwings. Theab. 

 (liniensis and the vernal ab. latln/ri of Leptosia sinapis were abundant. 

 Pontia dapUdice was rare in its spring brood g. v. hellidice, but very 

 common in late June, July, August, and September, I only took one 

 S Si/ncldo'e chloridice, a very fresh specimen caught at Gyok-su on 

 September 8th. On the same day I took a chipped ^ of Colias crate 

 and a worn white 3 of the same on ground where the ab. $ heliee of 

 ('. ednsa occurred. In July I took another J ( '. erate with a couple 

 of lemon-yellow blotches within the broad marginal band of the fore- 

 wings. I saw others, but they were impossible to reach, flying at 

 a rate that even speedy C. ednsa could not equal. I did not see 

 C. Ji>/ale, and wonder if it is not a mountain species in this part of the 

 world, I have one small worn chrome-orange ( '(dias that may be 

 C. chrysotheiiie, recorded from here by Staudinger in his brochure on 

 the Lepidoptera of Asia Minor. I thmk (J. erate has not been recorded 

 from Constantinople before. It may be an immigrant. South Russia 

 is near us, and north and north-east winds often blow furiously. 

 Its brilliant lemon-yellow colour and tearing flight make it easy to 

 recognise on the wing. Anthncharia belia was locally common, but 

 I was not able to search its haunts for g. a. ausonia, of which I have 

 but one specimen. I saw a few Knchlo'e cardamines, and have but one, 

 the underside of which seems to me to show less green and more 

 white than British specimens. 



The following is my list of species observed and captured for the 

 year. I am rather doubtful about my Urbicolids — my series of Hesperia 

 alveus may contain two species, and one of my Knjnnh altheae is very 

 yellow — but I think it advisable not to hazard uncertain records : — 

 A', taijes, E. alceae, E. altheae, H. sidae, H. alveus, H. inalvae, P. 

 orbifer, H. morpheim, T. actacon, A. Jiava, A. Hi/lvanus, G. noxtrodaniuii,

 P. et/ea, P. c-albnm, M. cin.via, M. phoebc, M. trivia, M. didi/ma, B. dia,

 procida, S. circe, S. hernrione, S. statilinus, H. semele, E. jiirtina, 

 E. tithonus (occura on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus in July), 

 P. roxelana, P. maera (one), P. megaera, P. ufieria and var. eijerides, 



C. arcania, C. pamphilus, and L. celtis — a total of 79 species, to which 

 I hope to make some additions next year, when I will give records of 

 the Heterocera which I have observed.
