SUPPLEMENTARY NOTE ON BUTTERFLIES OF SOUTH MACEDONIA. 107 



now concluded his interesting observations on the subject in our 

 pages. 



Before Capt. Barraud broke up his collections, he very kindly 

 presented to me a number of his captures, including some of 

 those of 1917-1918 which I had not seen before, and further, the 

 Natural History Museum has been enriched by two collections 

 for the most part made in localities other than those visited by 

 Capt. Barraud, whose first-hand knowledge of the continental 

 forms served him in good stead. 



The Museum Collections were made by Mr. B. Blanchard 

 and Mr. Pi. W. D. Barney, B.Sc, respectively (referred to as the 

 " Museum Collections "), and I owe it to the courtesy of Mr. N. V. 

 Ptiley, the Curator of the Butterflies at South Kensington, that I 

 am in a position to extend still further the list of South 

 Macedonian Ehopalocera with the following species or forms of 

 species not hitherto recorded. 



Hesperia fritillnin { ^ cirsii, Rbr.). — Kopriva, 9 : v : '19. 

 Pyrgus teasellum. — This Skipper turns up from two localities, 

 Ferezei, 10 : vi : '17, and Paprat, 2 : vi : '18. Compared with the 

 Hungarian form, it is an immense insect and probably is referable 

 to var. gigas, Brem.* It is therefore somewhat remarkable that 

 Capt. Barraud did not find it at Paprat when he was there. 

 Gegenes nostrodainus, Feragli, 10 : vi : '17. 



ChrysopJianus thetis, Klug. — Capt. Barraud wrote me when he 

 sent his notes that he thought he had encountered this beautiful 

 species, but he appears to have confused it with C. tliersamon. 

 I find, however, in the " Museum Collections " a male tJietis from 

 Ormonti, 10 : v : '17. [C. dispar rutilus (' Entom.,' lii, p. 166). — 

 Specimens from Kopriva, 1917. It seems fairly common in 

 suitable localities throughout S. Macedonia.] C. ottomanus. — 

 Another copper not in Capt. Barraud's list ; Kopriva, 22 : iv : '17 ; 

 and apparently must have been well distributed by the numerous 

 examples in the boxes. C. alciphron. — Very large females almost 

 uniformly without light coppery ground-colour. I consider that 

 this form is the intermedia of Steffanelli. It bears little resem- 

 blance to the type, and none whatever to gordius. 



Langia telictmus. — Kopriva. Tarucus balkanica. — From 

 various localities. Poli/ommatus icariis. — I have a number of 

 this species which superficially appear much more like P. 

 candalus ; they are very small (= ? var. minor, Ckll.), and the 

 underside markings are reduced to mere pin-points in some 

 examples. P. 7neleager.— Hill 778 ; both forms of the female, 

 type, and steveni, Tr. P. amandus. — From Kopriva and many 

 other localities, apparently wide-spread, and not sporadic as in 

 its western limits in France. P. anteros. — Paprat, 7 : vi : '18. 



Parnassius mnemosyne. — A series from Paprat, 8 : vi : 'IB. 



* Given specific rank by M. Mabille in Seitz's ' Lepidoi^tera of the World.'
