 By Percy I. Lathy, F.Z.S., F.E.S. 



MORPHO ADONIS Vai". MAJOR, nOV. 



$ . Much larger than typical M. adonis, measuring 32 millim. 

 more than the largest specimen in Mr. Adams' series ; the white 

 markings on costa of fore wings above larger and a submarginal row 

 of white spots, in this respect approaching ab. adonides, Stgr. ; the 

 wings of a deeper blue and not so silvery as in adonis. Under side 

 with the pale bands silvery. 



? . Also much larger than typical adonis, and the pale yellow 

 markings reduced. 



Exp. $ , 148-152 millim. ; ? , 160 millim. 



Hob.— La Merced, Peru ; 2500 ft. 



I received two males and one female of this very beautiful 

 form of M. adonis from Mr. H. Watkins, my collector in Peru ; 

 the three specimens are now in the collection of Mr. Herbert J. 

 Adams. One of the two males has traces of a second row of 

 submarginal spots. 



THE LEPIDOPTERA OF BERLIN. 

 By E. M. Dadd, F.E.S. 



(Concluded from p. 212.) 



During the latter part of August very little entomological 

 work was done. An outing to Bernau found the heather just 

 commencing to bloom, and a piece of waste ground overgrown 

 with thistles proved to be very productive. Lyccena argus and 

 L. agon were both abundant, the males easily distinguished by 

 the breadth of the black border to the wing ; the females practi- 

 cally indistinguishable. Several cegon var. unipuncta were among 

 the captures; besides these two interesting "blues," Chrijso- 

 phanus virgaurcea, L. dorilis (two females), G. phlceas, Hesperia 

 thaumds, H. lineola, Epinephele lycaon, Satyrus scmele, S. alcyone, 

 Argynnis latona, and Thalera Jimbrialis were obtained. The last- 

 named is an especially fine " emerald," and the two specimens 

 I obtained were in the pink of condition. Rhodosirophia vibicaria 

 was obtained in the pine woods, but mostly worn. 



A week later, at Potsdam, Erebia cethiops and Colias hyale 

 were the only new species. 



Sugaring was of very little use during the latter part of 

 August and commencement of September. Catocala sponsa, C. 

 promissa, and Amphipyra pyramidea came to sugar in oak woods. 

 An avenue of all sorts of trees along a country road was more 

 productive, Acronycta meiiyaiithidis, A. rumicis, A. megacephala,
