NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS ON EURO- 

 PEAN BUTTERFLIES. 



By W. F. Kirby. 



[Supplementary to the r»Ianual of European Butterflies.] 



It appears desirable to record the new butterflies and larvae 

 which are being occasionally discovered on the Continent ; 

 and, in addition to these, I have to notice a few species wdiich 

 I formerly ranked as varieties. Several of these are de- 

 scribed from specimens recently received by Mr. Doubleday, 

 to whom I am greatly indebted for calling my attention to 

 them as specifically distinct. 



PiERis Ergane, Hiib. 

 Ergane, Hiib., Dup., Stand. 

 NarccBa, Freyer, Treitschke. * 



Rapce, var. Bd., Kirby. 

 Exp. 1-4 in. — 1-6 in. 



Differs from P. Mapce in the three black spots of the fore- 

 wings being absent on the underside j the spot on the costa 

 of the hind-wings and the lower spot of the fore-wings are 

 wanting both above and below ; the costa of the underside 

 of the hind-wings is never yellowish. 

 Larva unknown. 

 Hab. Dalmatia. 



PiERis Krueperi, Staud. 

 Exp. 1-9 in. — 2 in. 



Mr. Bates, probably on Lederer's authority, has noted this in- 

 sect as svnonymous with P. Gliciria. Cramer, (IT. 171, E. F.)
