108 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Chrysophanus phlceas, L. — Occurred in most places throughout the 

 spring and summer. 



Cu/aritis siphax, Luc. — Scarcely abundant, but fairly common in a 

 few localities near Teniet ; but was practically over when I first came 

 across it on May 31st. 



Lampides bceticus, L. — At El Kantara in March, and at Sebdou in 

 August. 



L. telicaniis, Lang. — At Sebdou in August. The specimens were 

 very small. 



L. theoplirastus, F. — One female only below Teniet in June. Com- 

 mon all round a certain prickly shrub at Sebdou in August. Their 

 preference for this shrub, which the females never seemed to leave at 

 all, made it a somewhat difficult matter to effect a capture otherwise 

 than destructive to the net ; however, the males would occasionally 

 make short detours into the open, though invariably returning to the 

 favoured shrub, and the females were so sluggish, even in the middle 

 of the day, that I was able more than once to pick one off with my 

 fingers. This butterfly also occurred, but not at all commonly, at 

 El Kantara in March (1902). 



LiiccEiia martini, Allard. — Common on certain hillsides in the 

 neighbourhood of the Cascade below Teniet. But it was practically 

 over when I first came across it at the end of May, and a male, even 

 in fair condition, was scarcely to be had ; but I took a good though 

 short series of females. 



L. baton var. abencerragus, Pier. — Near El Kantara in March and 

 April ; also at Hammam R'lrha in April. Not common, except at 

 El Kantara, in March (1902). 



L. astrarche var. calida, Bell. — The specimens of this butterfly taken 

 at Tlemgen in July were a deep reddish brown beneath, and certainly 

 belonged to this variety. 



L. icarus var. celina, Aust. — Most of the males at Sebdou in August, 

 and at Milianah in September, belonged to this variety. I have one 

 from Milianah with a slight inclination to orange spots on the upper 

 side of the hind wings. 



L. bcUargus ■v&v.pimctifera, Obth. — All the male bellargus at Sebdou 

 in July were of this variety ; but it was very far from common. I took 

 one in which there were orange spots above the black dots on the upper 

 side of the hind wings, but unluckily the specimen, though fresh, was 

 damaged. 



L. lorquinii, H. S. — Was common and quite fresh in the cedar 

 forest at Teniet on May 21st. Unluckily I did not realize the impor- 

 tance of it, so failed to secure a good series, and when I next visited 

 the forest, on May 27th, it was nearly over. My courier took one 

 specimen in the Blidah cedar forest, but we saw no others. 



L. melanops, B. — Common at El Kantara in March ; also in the 

 Blidah cedar forest in May. 



Adopcca lineola, 0. — Common at Teniet in June, especially on the 

 foot-hills below the forest. 



A. hamza, Obth. — Very common at Teniet in June. The females 

 had to be searched for in the long grass. Comes very close to 

 A. actieon, Esp.
