NOTES ON LEPIDOPTERA OBSERVED IN MACEDONIA. 61 



gathered from two extracts from my diary. "June 6th, 1917, 

 a comparative abundance of certain species for past week, the 

 commonest being placed first : P. carclui, E. xanthomelas, P. 

 atalanta ; V io ', A. tirticce ; the last named rare. M. trivia more 

 plentiful than M. didyma." Whereas, on July 17th, 1917, I 

 wrote : " Butterflies are now scarce. Vegetation dried up. 

 Yesterday, on a long walk across country from Ereselli to 

 Baisili, and then to Saracli, I noticed little, although there are 

 still a fair number of flowers. P. cardni common and fresh. 

 S. actcea and S. circe still common round larger trees. D. pan- 

 dora still about. Weather the hottest we have had." 



Hesperiides. 



The species of this family are of course very difficult to 

 identify without descriptions or specimens for comparison. 



Carcharodus lavatera. 1917, 9 : v, Saracli ; rather scarce. 



C. althcea. 1916, Lahaua,vi ; 1917, Saracli, 9 : v; not common. 



C. alcece. 1916, near Balje Pass, 5 : iv ; 1917, 14 : iv, 

 Mahmudli ; fairly common. 



I think I have also taken another species of this genus, 

 as large, or larger than lavaterce. [Probably C. orientalis, Eever- 

 din.— H. Pt.-B.] 



Hesperia sidce. 1916, mountains east of Lembet ; 6 : v; 

 1917, Saracli, vi ; fairly common. 



H. carthami. 1916, 1 J' , Lahana, vi ; 1917, Saracli ; fairly 

 common ; first seen, 9 : v. 



//. scrratulce. 1916, mountains east of Lembet ; first seen, 

 23 : iv ; 1917, Saracli, 25 : iv. 



[H. malvcB. This species seems to be absent ; but may be 

 amongst those I have sent home.] 



Pyrgus orhifer. 1917, Saracli, 25 : iv ; fairly common. 



P. mo. 1916, mountains east of Lembet 4 : v. Not found 

 in 1917. 



Nisoniades tages. 1916, Mirova, vii, common ; 1917 (Saracli. 

 8 : v, common) ; first seen. Scan, 8 : iv, Mahmudli ; gen. (est, 

 in July. 



N. marloyi. A very dark species, with ground colour deeper 

 than tages and lighter markings near the tips of fore wings. 

 1917, first seen, 14 : iv, Mahmudli ; fairly common. 



Augiades sylvanus. 1917, Saracli, vi ; first seen, 21 : v ; 

 fairly common. 



Adopcea lineola. 1917, Saracli, vi ; not uncommon. 



A.flava. 1916, mountains east of Lembet, 11 : iv. 



Papilionides. 



Chrysophanusi hippotho'e. Saracli, 3 : v : 17 : subsequently 

 fairly common. ? ? of this and allied species I am not at all 

 sure of without specimens to compare.
