BUTTERFLIES OP HUNGARY AND AUSTRIA. 289 



female with the left fore wing possessing the characteristics of the 

 male. 



E. ianira, L. — Common everywhere. 



E. tithonus, L. — Common on the Alionberg at Orsova, and at 

 Kavaran-Szakul. I never saw it anywhere else. 



E. hyperanthus, L. — Last year in the Cserna Thai in July I took a 

 male with the rings on the under side abnormally large and distinct ; 

 and this year in June at the very same spot I took another male, in 

 which this feature was even more strikingly developed. 



Ccenonympha cedipus, F. — Occurs in the neighbourhood of Buda-Pest, 

 but I did not come across it. 



C. iphis, S. V., and C. pamphilus, L. — Both common in Hungary 

 and Austria. 



Spilothyrus lavaterce, Esp. — Literally swarms at Csepel and other 

 places near Buda-Pest in July ; but I was practically too late for it 

 when I returned there this year, and I did not see or hear of it in the 

 Mehadia district. 



Syrichthus carthami, Hub., S. alveus, Hub., and S. malvce, L. — I do 

 not think I am wrong in stating that these and other species of 

 Syrichthus are all to be met with in Hungary and Austria. 



S. orbifer, Hiib. — Occurs in the neighbourhood of Buda-Pest in 

 August. I never took one myself ; but Herr Torok presented me with 

 two males, in excellent condition, he caught one day when we were 

 collecting together at Farkas-Volgy. 



Nisoniades tages, L. — Occurs commonly in both countries. 



Hesperia thaumas, Hufn., H. lineola, 0., H. sylvanus, Esp., and H. 

 comma, L. — All occurred commonly ; but I did not see or hear anything 

 of H. actceon, Esp., or H. nostrodamus, F. 



Cyclopides morpheus, Pall. — Was common in the marshy meadows 

 on the borders of the Rohrwald in June and July ; also at Weidling- 

 bach near Vienna. I do not recollect observing it anywhere in Hungary, 

 except in the celebrated woods near Peszer. 



Carterocephalus palamon, Pall. — Occurring, but not at all commonly, 

 in the Rohrwald in the beginning of May. 



Note. — A fresh male specimen of Melitcea didyma var. occidentalis 

 that I took in North Italy, in August last, has the typical red replaced 

 by rich cream colour. 



It now only remains for me to add that the pleasure and 

 success of my expeditions was so greatly enhanced by certain 

 members of the Buda-Pest Entomological Society, that I hope 

 anyone thinking of visiting that place will allow me to have 

 the pleasure of introducing my countryman amongst them, when, 

 I think, I am not wrong in assuring him that he will meet with a 

 warm and hearty welcome. And I should also like to take the 

 opportunity of recommending anyone visiting the Mehadia district 

 to solicit the services as guide of Marien Golopenza, of Pesinesca, 

 a Roumanian peasant of intelligence, and some knowledge of the 

 fauna of his neighbourhood ; also able to speak German quite 

 sufficiently well to make himself intelligible.
