100 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Similar to D. jiarvum, Cresson, but the markings are paler; the 

 clypens has only a pair of small light spots, separated from the lateral 

 face-marks by a narrow line of black ; the tibiae are black with only a 

 light mark or spot at the base ; the apical abdominal segment is entirely 

 black, and the lateral part of the light marks on the fifth is wanting. 

 The posterior notches of the light areas of segments two to four are 

 large and strong.

D. imdicum was based on two male specimens from Nevada, 

 closely allied to parvum, but with cream-coloured markings. The 

 female has not been described, but in the Cresson collection there 

 are placed with pudiciim two females from Colorado, with the 

 abdominal bands yellow, and the clypeus with central part black. 

 These, I think, do not belong there, and it is much more likely 

 that the insect described above is the real female of pudicum. 

 Whether it is more than a mutation of D. parvum is another 

 matter.

A FEW NOTES ON SOME OF THE CORSICAN 

 BUTTERFLIES. 



By Margaret E. Foijntaine, F.E.S. 



Although Corsica in recent years has become anything but 

 a terra mcognita to British entomologists, most Continental 

 collectors having visited at some time or other the dry hillsides 

 round Ajaccio, and the glorious forest of Vizzavona, I still hope, 

 nevertheless, the following notes may obtain some little interest, 

 for one reason that, during my stay there last summer, I visited 

 more than one locality hitherto unexplored, at least by British 

 entomologists ; and also that my collecting in the island began 

 several weeks earlier in the season than the time usually and 

 indeed well chosen as being the most likely to be productive of 

 good collecting ; and of those who have waited till the end of 

 June or even July before going to Corsica I can only say that 

 they have acted wisely, as in May and early June, after a good 

 series of Anthocaris tagis var. insidaris is secured, there is but 

 little to be done of much importance. 



Luri (100 ft.), in Cap Corse, is, I think, the best place for 

 spring collecting ; and though the Hotel de France is an inn of 

 exceeding modesty, accommodation can be found there, but I can 

 scarcely describe it as palatial, inasmuch as it boasts of but 

 two tiny bedrooms, so that when these are both occupied, should 

 a third guest arrive, the arrangement is that he sleeps on a sofa 

 in the salle-a-manger. Evisa (2700 ft.), situated about 60 kils.
