THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 211 



Pieiis Rapa3. Two specimens iraraaculate, two almost so. 

 Three cieam-colouied and well-marked. Bred. 



P. Napi. One female, measuring one inch and three lines 

 in expansion of wings, and of a dark colour. Obtained by 

 purchase. 



Anthocharis Cardamines. One male, light lemon-colour 

 where it ought to be white. Obtained from a man at South- 

 port. 



Leucophasia Diniensis, variety ? Bdv. Five males, two 

 females : this is said to be the second brood of L. Sinapis. 

 In the lake districts of North Lancashire, L. Sinapis abounds 

 in May, but as yet I have never seen a second brood there. 

 My specimens were all obtained, by purchase, from the col- 

 lections of working Entomologists around London. This 

 insect may always be known by the round blackish (not 

 square grayish) spot at the tip of the wing, through which 

 two distinct white nerves pass, and by the under side being 

 almost devoid of suffused markings. One female immaculate, 

 very fine. 



Chrysophanus Phlaeas. — This species has had my especial 

 attention for many years, and the result is a long row of 

 aberrations ; one with small spots on the superior wings, and 

 a broad red band on the under wings ; one dull brownish ; 

 six without under-wing markings ; one very large, with red 

 pencil-like streaks on the nerves of the under wing ; one with 

 one silver upper wing, all else proper; one with both upper 

 wings silvery, the under wings proper ; six with all the cop- 

 per-colour turned to silver, — one of these is truly magnificent. 

 Many of these have been given to me by friends who cap- 

 tured them ; others obtained by purchase, or captured or 

 bred by myself. 



Polyommatus .^gon. One " gynandromorphous," having 

 one side male and the left side female. Obtained, by pur- 

 chase, from Mr. Ilodgkius. 



Nemeobius Lucina. One female, having the inner mark- 

 ings of the under wings white instead of the ordinary colour. 

 This is the only aberration worth notice I ever saw in this 

 species. 



Melitoea Artemis. Of this variable species I have speci- 

 mens from one inch and two lines in expansion to one inch 

 and ten lines. Captured in Lancashire, and varying mucii 

 in depth of colour.
