Its rich purple and blue colouring harmonised delightfully with

Emmelia trahealis. — Common over a rough hedge at Armutci 

 (May). 



Acontln luctuosa. — Kukus and Armutci (end of May). 



A. lucida. — Kukus (end of April), One only. 



Anthophila vurpiirina. — One specimen of this lovely pink- 

 flushed moth taken in a ravine near Kurkut (May 12th, 1917).

 many pairs flying about the flowers of Delphinium consolida in 

 the early morning. 



Catocala puerpera. — Besting on shady rocks at Yenikeuy 

 (August). 



*C conversa. — One found at Kukus (end of June).

 without apparent reason, from one place to another, invariably

 tops in the evening. Kukus and Janes (May and June).

 Yenikeuy (end of July).
