the androconia on veins 2 and 3. In 1898 I received a form from the 

 Transbaical named chrysodippe, with the androconia as in the present 

 form. 



A. laodice, Pallas. — Vladimar Bay. Four males, August 5th, 8th, 

 9th, 1897. These do not differ from European specimens except in 

 the paleness of the colour of the upper surface. 



Melanargia halimede, Men. — Vladimar Bay. Three males, three 

 females, August 5th, 1897. 



M. meridionalis, Feld. — One male, Port Hamilton, Corea, June 

 17th ; two males, four females, Vladimar Bay, August 3rd, 5th, 

 and 8th. 



Satyrus dryas, Esp. — Vladimar Bay. Four males, August 8th, 

 1897. Three of these have the under side of hind wings unicolorons. 



Pararge achine, Sc, var. achinoides, Butl. — Two females, rather 

 worn, August 5th, 1897, Vladimar Bay. ("Var. major, ocellis majori- 

 bus," St. Cat.). 



Aphantopus hyperanthus, L., var. ocellatus, Butl. — One male, three 

 females, August 5th, 1897, Vladimar Bay. These agree with Stau- 

 dinger's remark, " major, subt. obscurior, ocellis majoribus," as regards 

 the ocelli, which are larger ; but the ground colour is certainly not 

 "obscurior," but rather lighter tban usual. 



Coenonympha cedippus, F. — Vladimar Bay. Two males, August 5th, 

 1897. These do not in any way differ from European specimens. I 

 think that it is worthy of remark that the three species last enumerated, 

 which have so strong a superficial resemblance to one another, should 

 have all been taken in the same locality, and at the same time. 



LiYCiENID^. 



Chrysophamis dispar, Haw., var. auratus, Leech. — One male, one 

 female, August 8th, 1897, Vladimar Bay. These exactly tally with 

 Staudinger's diagnosis (" 3 supra impunctatus, ? al. post, nigri- 

 cantoribus ; sub. al. post, griseis, non caerulescentibus "). This 

 appears to me much nearer the true British type than the Euro- Asiatic 

 rutilus in the general appearance and size, and in the width of the 

 submarginal band on the under side hind wings ; but there is only a 

 trace of a discoidal spot in the male, and an entire absence of the blue 

 basal shading found in true dispar. The hind wings of the female 

 above more resemble those of female hippothoe. 



C. hippothoe, L., var. amurensis, Stgr. — Two males, rather worn, 

 Vladimar Bay, August 8th and 9th, 1897. This var. is distinguished 

 from the type by its larger size, more brilliant colour, and by a double 

 discoidal spot on the hind wings. It greatly resembles var. caudens as 

 far as the male is concerned, but has less of the violet reflection seen in 

 that form. 



Lycana arygyronomon, Bgst. — Vladimar Bay. Two males, rather 

 large and brightly coloured, August 5th, 1897. 



L. cleubis, Brem. — Vladimar Bay. Two males, five females, August 

 8th, 1897. A very variable species. 



L. euphemns, Hb., var. obscurata, Stgr. — Vladimar Bay. Three 

 females, rather worn, August 6th.
