THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 231 



V. C-Album. Not uncommon. 



Argynnis Paphia and A. Lathonia. Common. 



Polyoramatns Phlaeas, P. dispar, P. Chryseis, and five others. 



Lycaena Argiolus, L. Alsiis, L. Avion, L. Corydon, L. Ado- 

 nis, L. Alexis. (The only place where I ever met with L. 

 Artaxerxes was on the Yaila Dagh, above Yalta, in the 

 Crimea, in June, 1856). 



Thymele Alveolus. 



Pamphila Sylvanus. 



Choerocampa Celerio. Two specimens at Meshed, in 

 Khorassan, in May ; one at Goolhek, near Tehran, September. 



C, Elpenor. 



Smerinthus ocellatus and S. Populi. Occur occasionally. 



Macroglossa Stellatarum. Swarms. 



Sphinx Vitis. Occurs in vineyards. 



Zeuzera ^Esculi. One specimen. 



Saturnia Carpini. Common in the larva state, but by no 

 means so in the imago. 



Agrophila sulphuralis. 



Plusia Iota and P. Gamma. 



Catocala nupta, C. promissa and C. sponsa. 



Deiopeia pulchella. Very common. — Arthur Young^ As- 

 sisiant Conservator of Forests, Seal/cote, Pnt/jaub, March 28. 



[This short list of Lepidoptera, inhabiting a coimtry so 

 widely separated from our own, is extremely interesting to 

 the British Entomologist : Mr. Young does not slate whether 

 it is complete;, or whether he has selected those species which 

 occur in oiu' 13ritish list : I imagine the latter to be the case, 

 seeing that the six non-British species introduced have been 

 fraudulently or accidentally represented as British : I allude 

 to Papilio Podalirius, Gonepteryx Cleopatra, Colias Euro- 

 pome, Chorlobius Hero, Folyommatus Chryseis and Sphinx 

 Vilis : the appearance of Lycajna Agestis, rar. Artaxerxes, in 

 the Crimea is also highly interesting. — Editard Newman.'] 



156. Natural Situation of Stylops among Insects. ■ — The 

 transference of this Coleopterous genus to the Neuroptera is 

 by no means so novel an idea as the learned President of the 

 Entomological Society seems to suppose (F^ntom, 203). In 

 the 129lh volume of Lardner's 'Cabinet Cyclopaedia,' in- 

 tituled " On the History and Natural Arrangement of Insects, 

 by William Swainson, F.R.S., and W.E. Shuckard, Lib. R.S.,"
