60 THE entomologist's RECORD. 



On April 14th, Good Friday, v,e called on the British School of 

 ArchiPology, and decided that their garden was worth a second visit. 

 Celastriiia an/ioltis, Gonejiten/.c rhainni and G. cleopatra ^ were seen. 

 April 15th was wet, and Avas accordingly devoted to the Museums. 

 April IGth Rear Admiral E. Bourke took a, ^ A. belia, several g P. 

 fera.ss/Va*', and J and $ ( '. (v//^srt on Lycabettus. In the afternoon $ s of 

 P. broi^sicae were appearing on the Acropolis among many S s, Paron/e 

 aeyeria was about in fresh condition, and one or two of the early brood 

 of Acontia liicido were netted. The whole of the 17th was occupied in 

 getting by sea to Itaea and driving up to Delphi. 



The morning of the 18th was glorious, and the sun not too hot. 

 At last we had reached ground that would interest any ornithologist or 

 entomologist. If you go to Greece get move than one day at Delphi. 

 The whole day was spent at and about the ruins, which cover a con- 

 siderable area. P. rapae was very common, and was noted as being 

 small. When we reached England we were glad to find among the 

 small P. rapae three specimens of /'. erijane. One or two P. napi 3 s 

 were taken, the underside very heavily marked on the hindwing. /'. 

 hrassirae was, I believe, also present, though we brought none home. 

 3 s of L'. ediisa were common but worn. G. rliamni 3 s were also about, 

 together with some G. deojiatra. The former was badly chipped, but 

 G. deopatra we failed to secure. A. belia was fresh. F.Heldv'e 

 (jruneri 3 s were netted. The yellow ground colour of this 

 insect shows very distinctly when it flies. A yet more beautiful 

 species, of which we only took one 3 » is E- damone. This insect 

 has a very brilliant " orange tip," the rest of the wings being 

 bright mustard colour. One 3 Pontia daplidice was also captured, 

 the right fore^ing having a large apical asymmetrical injury. 

 Coenonijiiipha iiamp/iiliiti was abundant, and variable. Several 

 approached var. lylliis. The underside ocellus was frequently strongly 

 accentuated on the forewing upperside. The hindwing margin was 

 occasionally decorated with two or three dark interneural spots on 

 the upperside. The underside of the hindwings showed some tendency 

 to be pale grey and unicolorous. The specimens were frequently large. 

 Paranje )iie(jaeia was taken ( 3 and 5 ) chipped. The lirst blue netted was 

 a $ ('elastrina an/ioliis oi an exceedingly brilliant blue colour, brighter 

 in fact than any $ in Dr. Hodgson's cabinet at Cambridge. A large 

 race of Aricia a-strarche was abundant, flitting just above the daisies and 

 grass while the sun shone. It disappeared instantly when the sun 

 was not shining. Both sexes were taken ; the orange on the upper side 

 was frequently very conspicuous. One specimen of Sculltantides baton 

 was taken — a worn male. The only Ituinieia phlaeas was a 2 , with 

 strong blue spotting in the hindwing, and the forewing upperside spots 

 much reduced. A;/lais urticae was noted and a J Kri/iini>< altheae 

 taken. Among the moths, a specimen of Antia festira was brought 

 us in an envelope, freshly emerged, the left hindwing imperfectly 

 developed. Acuhtia liicida and A. lartaosa were netted flying 

 in the sunshine. Aspilaies citraria of both sexes were picked up 

 and single specimens of Lithosteije fari)iata, and (Jnojdids obsrurata (?). 

 Gh(i}iIi()s rarieiiata came to light in the Hotel with several specimens 

 of a Lareiitia which appeared to be L. salkata. At any rate the 

 specimens, which are in poor condition, appear to resemble the series 

 of this species in South Kensington rather than that of any other
