﻿NEW SPECIES OF BOARMIIN.T; FROM FORMOSA. 69 



metres back from the lake, and on the rising ground (beyond the 

 forest) on the way to the Lapp Porten. The first specimens were 

 taken on June 25th, and the last on June 30th. 



H. andromedcB. — A "Skipper" netted on the swamp between 

 Abiskojokk and Bjorkleiden on June 23rd, and supposed at the time 

 to be H. centaure(e, and two others taken with specimens of that 

 species on June 30th, near the Lapp Porten, turn out to be un- 

 doubted examples of this species. 



Augiades comma var. catena. — This species was common on the 

 steep right bank of the Abiskojokk and on the banks of the tributary 

 flowing into it on the west side, which was worked by Mr. Kowland- 

 Brown in 1906. It was first seen on July 2nd. This brook, on the 

 banks of which are found certainly more butterflies than on any 

 other spot near x\biskojokk, is the first one on the left bank above 

 the railway bridge ; it can be seen from the hotel, high up in its 

 course as a waterfall. 



Amongst the Heterocera not a great number of species were seen 

 at Abisko. There were a good many Geometrte, chiefly Acidalia 

 fumata, Larcntia casiata, Goremia minutata, and Emmelesia alhulata. 

 Of night-flying Noctuae I did not see a single specimen ; but amongst 

 the day-fliers the beautiful little Anarta melaleuca was to be startled 

 off rocks commonly, A. cordigera and A. mdanoim also occurred, and 

 Plusia hochenwarthi was not uncommon on the banks of the tribu- 

 taiy of the Abiskojokk. On July 12th I found Zygcena exulans var. 

 vanadis, a fine form, abundant on the high ground approaching the 

 Lapp Porten. 



Addendum. — Since writing the above my attention has been 

 drawn to the fact that, in addition to the articles on Scandinavian 

 Lepidoptera enumerated on pp.357 and 358, vol. xliv., there is one 

 in Ent. Mo. Mag. xxxvii. p. 24, by K. J. Morton, F.E.S., entitled 

 " Trichoptera, Neiiroptera, Planipennia, Odonata, and Rhopalo- 

 cera, collected in Norway in the summer of 1900."
