306 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Wheeler, who has seen the specimens, informs me are the 
M. var. ? dictynnoides of Horrnuzaki, included by Staudinger in 
his Catalogue as a var. of M. aurelia, but which Mr. Wheeler 
believes to be a distinct species, an opinion receiving support 
from very typical specimens of M. aurelia, taken at Tatra 
Lomnitz, for which I am indebted to Baron Vecsez. The dark 
Hungarian form of Pararge méra, which somewhat resembles P. 
hiera, butis not that species, was common and in good condition; 
Nomiades semiargus was fine and typical; Brenthis ino was found 
at rest not infrequently on the raspberry bushes; Pararge egeria 
var. egerides flew here and there, but was going over; Brenthis 
selene was still in good order; B. euphrosyne plentiful but passé. 
On July 4th I paid a visit to Count Teleki, who has a 
residence at Tatra Fured, and who is interested in entomology 
and Nature study generally. I was very kindly welcomed and 
hospitably treated by the Count, who knows the district 
thoroughly, and whom I have to thank for much useful informa- 
tion as to localities and species. On this day not much collect- 
ing was done, but Count Teleki proposed that we should take 
our nets and work a small swamp in the neighbourhood of his 
house for Cenonympha hero until lunch was ready ; only one or 
two of this species was met with, but I was delighted to find here 
the fine form of Brenthis pales var. arsilache, which was abundant 
and in fine order. 
I was anxious to try the chalk range at the eastern end of 
the Tatra, where I had been informed! that, amongst other 
species, the much-wanted Canonympha leander was to be found ; 
accordingly on the evening of this day I took a carriage and 
moved on to Tatra Hohlenhaim or, as it is more usually called, 
Barlangliget, its Hungarian name. This locality, judging from 
the flora, looks a very good one, given fine weather, but the four 
days of my stay were almost continuously dull or rainy, and I did 
not see very much, and very little indeed that was new to me. 
The only species taken here, not found at Tatra Lomnitz, were 
Lycena arion, a small but bright blue form, and one or two 
Melitea dictynna, which were quite typical. The morning of 
July 9th broke fairly cloudless, and I made an attempt to get at 
the higher-ground-frequenting species, but by the time I arrived 
at the upper edge of the forest clouds had gathered, and with the 
exception of a glint of sunshine for a few minutes, during which 
I netted two specimens of Brenthis pales, collecting was hopeless 
for the rest of the day. This form of B. pales does not appear 
to correspond with any of the named forms very closely ; the upper 
sides resemble var. arsilache in the large blotches, but the speci- 
mens are smaller than those of that form taken on the lower 
ground at Tatra Fured, whilst the under sides are quite distinct and 
resemble closely the type; I suppose they might most correctly 
be styled as intermediate between the type and var. arsilache.
