88 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



having seen one before. It was taken on June 5tb, and although 

 we kept a look-out every day, no more were observed until the 

 10th, when we took five. From the IBtli to the 25th it was fairly 

 common, but only in the one locality. 



Sati/rns circe. Abundant locally in wooded districts. 1916, 

 Paprat, 10 : vii ; 1917, SaracH, 10 : vi. 



S. statiliniis. Abundant in wooded and rocky localities. 



1916. Mirova, viii ; 1917, Baisili, etc., vii, end. 



S. actcea. 1916, not met with ; 1917, common in wooded 

 localities ; first seen, 11 : vi, Saracli. 



Hipparchia semele. Not very common. 1917, first seen, 4 : vi, 

 Saracli; a S only 32 mm. wing expanse taken 7 : vi. 



Epinepliile jurtina. Very common. 1916, first seen at 

 Lembet, 3 : v ; 1917, first seen, 19 : v, Saracli. 



E. li/caon. Eather scarce, and confined to wooded gullies. 



1917, first seen, Saracli, 11 : vi. As in most specimens the 

 apical eye-spot is pupilled, I thought this might be a special 

 form or another species. 



Ccenonympha arcania. Very local. 1917, first seen, 29 : v, 

 Ereselli. 



C. pamphilus. Abundant. 1916, first seen, 22 : iv ; 1917, 

 18 : iv, Bashanli. 



Erebia, sps. None noted. 



Melanarg'ta galatea. 1916, Lahana, 21-30 : vi ; var. prociday 

 fairly common ; 1917, vi, Saracli. 



M. larissa (var. salonicce ? Gibbs), 1916, first seen, If : v, and 

 subsequently common on mountains east of Lembet; 1917, first 

 seen, 9 : vi, Baisili. The form is fairly common on the Salonica 

 hills and in the Krusha Balkan range ; also seen on hills to west 

 of Lake Doiran. In July, 1916, the late Mr. A. E. Gibbs suggested 

 the varietal name for this characteristic form, but I do not know 

 if he left a description of it.

 PLATYPEZW DIPTERA. 



By Claude Morley, F.Z.S., Etc. 



The occurrence of ^. collini in abundance should, I think, 

 not go unrecorded, since it appears to have been hitherto found 

 in no more than two localities in the world, both of which are 

 in Cambridgeshire. At the time of its description in 1901, 

 Verrall tells us that Mr. J. E. Collin had caught eleven specimens 

 during May, June, and September, 1896-7, all at Kirtling, but

 p. 34). The only other reference to the species with which lam
