SOME MACEDONIAN MOTHS. 201 



Celastrina ar(iiolus. — A long series of upwards of 100, well 

 illustrating the season dimorphism. The aberrations are few 

 -except in the size and number of spots on the underside, but 

 there are two pinkish lilac males, ab. Ulacina, Tutt, unlabelled, 

 from the Spilsbury Collection. Also a female ab. Ulacina from 

 the Meldola Collection, but the usual black borders are light 

 brown. Taken at Deal, August, 1901. A very remarkable male 

 underside was taken by myself in the New Forest May 8th, 

 1915. The fore wings are spotless except for the central lunule, 

 which is very faint, but in the hind wings the spots of the 

 marginal row are elongated into streaks. In Tutt's ' British Lepi- 

 doptera,' vol. ix, pi. xviii, iig. 10, exactly represents the hind wings 

 of this specimen, but has also the fore wings with spots and streaks. 

 It is named suhtus-racUata, Obth. This specimen might be 

 described as ab. siibtiis-partim-radiata. A very minute female, 

 -smaller than many specimens of C. minimus, was taken by Prof. 

 Poulton, August 6th, ]896, at St. Helens, Isle of Wight. 



Ciipido minimus. — A series of upward of 70 without any note- 

 w^orthy aberration. 



Nomiades semiargus. — A series of 12. most in very good con- 

 dition, 5 from the Hope Collection, 4 from the Spilsbury, and 

 3 labelled '* Grut's Collection " from the Sellon Collection. 



Lyccena avion. — A series of 119. Twenty-nine from the Bude 

 District, taken by myself, 41 also from the Bude District, taken 

 by Mr. B. G. Adams. 29 from the Cotswolds in the Pogson Smith 

 Collection. The rest without data. Except in the number and 

 size of the spots the aberration is small. A male in the Pogson 

 Smith Collection has only two submedian spots in the fore wings, 

 and no spots in the hind wings. Of the small race there are 4 

 from Bude (2 males, 2 females), 3 from the Cotswolds (2 males, 1 

 female), 3 from the Hope Collection and 1 from the Spilsbury, the 

 last 4 being all males. 



HESPERIID^. 



Hesperia malvce. — Series of upwards of 80. One specimen 

 from the Sellon Collection labelled " Winchester " has an 

 •unspotted hind wing. Fourteen specimens exhibit every degree 

 of modification from the type to the fully developed ab. taras. 

 'Of the remaining species of the Hesperiidae it need only be stated 

 ■that all are well represented in the normal forms.
