NOTE ON AZANUS UB ALDUS, CE. 

 By Capt. P. P. Graves, F.E.S. 



Further to my notes on Azanua uhaldns, Cr., published in 

 the ' Entomologist,' p. 98, et aeq., I have received tlie following 

 communication from Dr. Bronishiw Debski of Helwan : 



" December 19th, 1909. — A battered specimen of above, taken 

 while flying about blossom of Cajaninf indicu^ (Leguminosas) in 

 the garden of the Villa Wanda, Heiwan. 



" 1916.— Sept. 24th, 1 d" INone in good order; all on

" On October 16th, 1916, I found several empty Lycsenid ova 

 on the buds of A. tarncaiana. and two from which no larva had 

 emerged. On October 22nd, 1916, I found larvae frequent on 

 the inflorescent buds of A. farnesiana. A larva 2'5 mm. in 

 length on that date was 7 mm. long on October 26th, 8' 5 mm. 

 on October 28th, and pupated on October 30th. Tije butterfly 

 emerged on November 7th." 



Dr. Debski suggests that the rather battered A. iibaldas 

 found in September and early October on and near A. farnesiana 

 are immigrants bred on Acacia nilotica, and perhaps A. tortilis, 

 which is usually a desert tree. 



It is certainly noteworthy that .-1. tortilis or A. sei/i/al, with 

 A. nilotica. occurred at Kassassin, wbere I took A. iibaldas (very 

 worn ? ) in early October, 1916, but no A. farnesiana. 



NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 



Correction Corrected — Ccenonympha tiphon in Durham. — I 

 owe Prof. Heslop Harrison an apology. The " Durham " locality for 

 C. tiphon, cited by me (footnote, p. 150, antea), is in Northumber- 

 land ; and his statement that this butterfly has not been reported 

 hitherto from a Durham locality, therefore, holds good. This is a 

 good opportunity, also, to point out that, in my paper in ' Lepi- 

 dopterologie Comparee,' the Lough Fea locality should be placed in 

 County Derry. — H. Eowland-Brown. 



Papilio machaon, ab. — Last year Capt. Bagwell Purefoy very 

 kindly sent me some Wicken stock P. machaon larvae, which I reared 

 on carrot. As it was likely that I should be away from home at the
