THE MACRO-LEPIDOPTERA OF COUNTY TYRONE. 221 



Lough Fea, whence I have a female with double apical ocelli. 

 Recorded by Mr. Kane from the county, but no locality given. 



Ccenonympha pampldlns, L. — Abundant on heaths and in 

 rough meadows ; occurs on the same ground as C. tijpJion. A 

 teratological, perhaps gynandromorphous, specimen, with wings 

 on left side much larger than those on the right, was captured 

 June, 1920. Many have the fringes yellowish, as noted by 

 Mr. Kane of Sligo examples. 



Lycienida. 



*Calloplirys ruhi, L. — Local in the Lough Neagh district, but 

 much less common than formerly ; also at Lurganboy, near 

 Stewartstown ; the larva feeding on Erica tetralix. 



C](ri/so2)hanus pJiUeas, L. — Generally common, very abundant 

 in 1919. The var. ccerideopunctata is frequent, one example 

 combining abs. schmidtii and intermedia ; a straw-coloured form 

 taken near Favour Royal (K.) ; several similar to the one figured 

 in South's 'Butterflies of the British Isles,' pi. ci, fig. 8. 



Polyoinmatus icarux, Piott. — Although this species is very 

 local, and does not occur in large numbers, a few interesting 

 aberrations have been met with in this district, among others 

 the following : a gynandromorphous example — left side male, 

 right side female — var. ccernlea, Coalisland, July, 1917 ; several 

 teratological specimens with wings smaller on one side than the 

 other ; one with left hind wing scalloped ; male of the colour as 

 figured in ' Entomologist,' January, 1887, pi. ii, fig. 2 ; male 

 with faint red marginal spots on upper side of hind wings, 

 ab. rufopunctatns, Neub. ; the variety with black spots on margins 

 of hind wing, ab. nigromaculata, Ckll., almost as common as the 

 type. Females varying from a bright blue form to a brown one 

 with blue scales on basal areas ; in many of the brown forms the 

 red marginal lunules are much extended ; several with discal 

 spots on all wings, on upper side ringed with white or pale blue. 

 The var. icarinus, Scriba, occurs occasionally. A curious female 

 underside aberration has only one basal spot on left fore wing, 

 the basal spots on hind wings very small, and the inner marginal 

 series represented by minute white dots ; captured near Lough 

 Fea, July, 1918. Only single brooded here, from the end of 

 June in early seasons to the beginning of September in late ones. 

 Localities : Washing Bay and Killycolpy Wood on Lough Neagh, 

 Coalisland, near Stewartstown, and Lough Fea. 



Celastrina argiolus, L. — Rare; several examples captured some 

 years ago among hollies growing on the edges of an oak wood 

 (since felled) at Killymoon, near Cookstown ; woods about Favour 

 Royal, not very abundant (K.).
