9. F. ergane, Hitb. ? 



Though we caught every small specimen of rap.'v in 

 hopes of getting this species, which is common in Mon- 

 tenegro and Greece, we got no specimen about which 

 there can be no doubt. Some of the females were very 

 near ergane in size, but all had the black spot on under- 

 side of the fore-wing which is wanting in ergane and 

 present in rapx. Mrs. Nicholl, however, got one at Slivno 

 which I believe is ergane. 



10. F. cla/plidice , L. 



Only taken in the plains about Sofia and at Slivno. 



11. F. chloridiee, Hiib. 



Local and not common at Slivno in early June. 



12. Antliocharis helia, Esp. 



Not seen in the Rilo Dagh, but taken at Slivno. 



13. A. cardamines, L. 



Nearly over when I arrived, but Mrs. Nicholl took it at 

 Rilo and at Slivno. 



14. Leucophasia sinapis, L. 



Common at 3000—4000 feet. I believe that what I 

 took belonged to the second generation. 



1.5. Oolias myrniidone, Esp., var. 



We found this insect not uncommon from about 4000 — 

 5000 feet, flying on steep hillsides and in gorges, but 

 never in the low country. It appeared at the beginning 

 of July, so I cannot say whether there are two generations 

 or not ; but, if so, what we took was probably the first. 

 The specimens, like those from Bosnia, average consider- 

 ably larger, and are brighter in colour than those from 

 Austria, and are fully equal in size and brighter in colour 

 than the form found in the Southern Ural, which has 

 been called ermah by Grum. 



I have seen only one myrniidone from Hungary which 

 could be mistaken for Bulgarian specimens. We were 

 unable to take many females, as they were hard to 

 catch on such steep and bush-covered ground as they
