106 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



C. aliliete. — Not so common as the last, but of similar habits. 

 I have a note of its appearance in April. 



Hesperia sida. — One specimen only, taken in a ravine near 

 Janes on May 19th, 1918. 



H. malvce. — Common on hillsides in April and May. My 

 Macedonians are much blacker than British and the submarginal 

 band of the hind wings is very indistinct. This is a very variable 

 species which appears to merge imperceptibly into its allies, and 

 it is doubtful whether some of them are distinct. 



Pyrgus ovhijer, which I thought at the time of capture were 

 dark malvcB, chiefly differs by the spots being smaller, less 

 rectangular and more evenly distributed on both wings, while 

 the large spots on the hind wings beneath approach spherical 

 rather than angular form. It is on the wing a little later than 

 malvce, but frequents similar situations. 



Adopoea flava. — Common in ravines at Janes and Kukus as 

 early as May and not long on the wing. There is a decided 

 difference between the Macedonian and British forms. All the 

 former are larger, the average being about 33 mm., and in general 

 the colouring is brighter orange. I have one of each sex with 

 greenish-black margins. The underside is more uniformly 

 orange fulvous than in British specimens and I have one 

 outstanding example in which the underside of all the wings is^ 

 unicolorous orange fulvous.

A SUPPLEMENTABY NOTE ON THE BUTTERFLIES 

 OF SOUTH MACEDONIA. 



By H. Rowland-Brown, M.A., F.E.S. 



If only as a record of the lepidopterists who hunted and 

 observed during the weary years of waiting and preparation on 

 the Macedonian front from 1916 to 1918, the lists of butterflies 

 published from time to time in the pages of the ' Entomologist ' 

 deserve to be made as complete as possible. Our first paper on 

 the subject was put together from the ample notes furnished by 

 Mr., now Captain, Barraud, " Notes on Lepidoptera observed in 

 Macedonia, 1916, 1917 " (' Entom.,' 1918, vol. h, pp. 59-63, 

 86-88). After he had been home on leave early in 1918, I 

 supplemented the species already noted with one or two which 

 had escaped his identification (ibid., p. 112), and Mr. Barraud 

 himself added a list of the " Geometridse in South Macedonia, 

 1917 " (ibid., pp. 145-6). Last year there followed "Notes on 

 the Lepidoptera of Macedonia," by Mr. F. Norton and Mr. J. E. 

 Delbantv [ibid., vol. lii, pp. 139-141) ; and a supplementary 

 note by' Mr. H. Y. Wilson {ibid., '^. 166); and Mr. Mace has
