there out of their usual beat. He told me that he took Charazes 
jasius in the hills above Ajaccio very commonly in August and 
September by means of jars of honey, which attract them. We 
stayed a day at Ajaccio, but beyond an apparently fresh brood 
of EH. ida we found nothing of interest, and everything 
was fearfully burnt up. And so ended a trip, which, if not 
entomologically a very great success, at any rate gave us a 
delightful holiday in a new and particularly attractive country. 
Appended is a full list of the Rhopalocera which I identified 
during our stay in Corsica :— 
Carcharodus alcee, Hesperia serratule, Chrysophanus phleas 
var. eleus, Polyommatus icarus, P. astrarche var. calida, P. baton, 
Plebeius argyrognomon var. belliert, P. argus (@gon) var. corsica, 
Cyaniris argiolus ab. parvipuncta, Lampides beeticus, Tarucus teli- 
canus, Papilio podalirius, P. machaon, Pieris brassice, P. rape, 
P. napi, Pontia daplidice, Leptosia sinapis, Colias edusa, C. hyale 
(doubtful), Gonepteryx rhamni, Dryas paphia, and var. valezina 
and var. immaculata, D. pandora and ab. paupercula, Issoria 
lathonia, Argynnis elisa, Pyrameis cardui, P. atalanta, Vanessa io, 
Aglais urtice var. ichnusa, Hugonia polychloros, Polygonia c-album, 
Pararge megera var. tigelius, P. egeria, Satyrus circe, Hipparchia

NOTES ON EUROPEAN HESPERIIDS. 
By H. Rownanp-Brown, M.A., F.E.S. 
On pp. 141-142 of the May ‘Entomologist,’ Mr. W. G. 
Sheldon publishes a list of the more difficult Black-and-White 
Skippers of the genus Hesperia included in his collection. It 
may be further helpful to collectors on the Continent if I 
supplement this interesting catalogue with a list of the 
Hesperiids of this group in my own collection, taken either 
by myself or by my friends, and specifically identified either by 
examination of the male appendages, or by myself, with the 
assistance of those entomologists of whose work I have already 
availed myself for previous notes published in this magazine 
(Entom. xliii. 806-309; xlv. 5-7 and 77-78; xliv. 8-11, 25-26, 
and 109-110). Mr. Sheldon does not adopt M. Oberthur’s nomen- 
clature for cirsii, Rbr., viz. fritillum, Hb. Otherwise he is in 
accord with this classification. But I only follow his arrangement 
of the genus under review for convenience of reference. 
Hesperia alveus.—Unquestionably a mountain species, where it 
occurs throughout the western palarctic region, or, at all events, 
never in my experience descending to the plain. Arolla, August 
(middle), 1896; Saas Fée, August (middle), 1897; Zinal, August, 
ENTOM.-—JUNE, 1914. P
