bush. All my females, about a dozen in number, were secured in 
these spots, with the exception of a couple that were found 77 cop. one 
morning about 10 a.m. Both sexes get worn very quickly, and are 
only fit for cabinet specimens for a very few days after emergence. 
P. maera.—I saw but did not capture this species at Novorossisk. 
P. megaera.—Common at Ialta and Novorossisk, but not seen at 
Sarepta. The Jalta specimens are very bright and richly coloured ; 
those from Novorossisk are not so bright as typical examples. 
P. egeria var. egerides.—Only seen at alta; one or two specimens. 
LEpinephele lycaon.—First seen at Sarepta on May 25th; after- 
wards it became common generally ; the form is the fine one known 
as var. ¢termedia, which is described and figured by Seitz. 
Coenonympha leander.—This eastern species we found abundant 
in the “ Tschapurnik Wald” on May 22nd; many of the males were 
on that day past their best, and the females were well out. 
In its appearance and habits it is very similar to its Spanish 
representative C. tphoides, except that it seems to frequent bushy 
slopes, whereas C. ¢phoides is usually, but not always, a marsh-loving 
Species. Although C. leander was common in the “ Tschapurnik 
Wald,” we did not see it elsewhere. 
C. arcania.—Very typical examples of this species were common, 
in the same locality as the last only, from May 22nd onwards. 
C. panvphilus.—Seen in all districts worked, but not commonly ; 
the examples are in all cases very typical. 
Carcarodus alceae.—Not uncommon at Novorossisk and Sarepta. 
Pyrgus proto.— larva found freely on Phlomis herba-venti, both 
at Novorossisk and Sarepta, produced this species after my return to 
eee, The specimens are less ochreous than those I have from 
pain. 
P. orbifer—Not uncommon at Ialta, and one example was taken 
by me at Novorossisk. 
Hesperia carthami var. moeschleri Common on dry hills at 
Sarepta at the date of our arrival. 
H. armoricanus.—A few specimens of a Hesperid were taken at 
all three localities, which an examination of the genitalia proves to 
be this species. There are certain divergences from western H. armori- 
canus apparent in these organs, but Dr. Chapman, who has examined 
the preparations, does not consider them sufficient to indicate a 
distinct species. 
H. cribrellum.—On May 29th I captured two examples of this 
species in a valley in the main range of hills, about two miles south- 
east of Sarepta; they were taken within a few yards of each other. 
On the following day I netted on the same spot a third example; but 
though I afterwards frequently searched both this and many other 
similar localities, these three specimens were the only ones we saw ; 
they are small examples, not exceeding 36 mm. in expanse. 
H. tessellwm.—This fine eastern species was first seen on May 27th; 
afterwards it became somewhat common, but it was local and difficult 
to capture. Many ofthe specimens arelarge. I haveit up to 46 mm. 
expanse. Its headquarters was undoubtedly in the valleys in the 
hills some miles north-west of Sarepta; it was here to be seen in 
some numbers, flying wildly, and being difficult to follow with the
