from the region of the Straits of Gibraltar. 373 



Alameda at Gibraltar. I have records of its appearance 

 from February 28th to October 30th. 



/y. telicanus, Hiibn. — More abundant than the last, and 

 generally distributed ; it is very plentiful in the marshy 

 hollows or " sotos " in the cork-woods, and on the borders 

 of the Esmir lagoon in Marocco. March 2fith to the end 

 of October. 



L. theophrastus, F. — I met with one female specimen 

 of this pretty little insect (of which I can find no previous 

 record from Marocco) on the borders of the lagoon at 

 Esmir, on July 25th, 1888. 



L. baton, Berg., var. panoptes, Hiibn. — Fairly common 

 in May, 1888 (first observed on the 8th), on the lower 

 slopes of the Sierra Carbonera, about two miles from 

 the Eock of Gibraltar, frequenting dry flowery banks. 

 I did not see it elsewhere, nor did I meet with the type- 

 form. 



L. lysimon, Hiibn. — Scarce near Gibraltar ; I took a 

 few rather worn specimens in a sandy waste field at 

 Campamento, three miles from the Kock, on August 

 17th, 1887. I have also met with it at Esmir and near 

 Tetuan, Marocco, in November. 



L. astrarche, Berg. — Very common everywhere, almost 

 all the year round ; I have seen it on the wing on 

 February 21st. Rather larger and brighter than English 

 specimens, the orange spots always very well marked 

 (especially in the female), and the ground colour of the 

 under side of the wings warm ochreous-brown. 



L. icariLs, Pvott. — Exceedingly abundant and very 

 variable in size and colour. Some of the males are very 

 bright, and have a submarginal row of small black dots on 

 the upper side of the secondaries ; the females, as a rule, 

 are much more blue above than English specimens. In 

 the middle of summer very small examples occur, not 

 exceeding 8|^ lin. (18 mm.) in expanse, the males having 

 a series of faintly indicated submarginal orange dots on 

 the upper side of the secondaries, the females very dark, 

 with little or no blue. Flies from February 12th to 

 November. The var. icarinus, Scriba, occurs rarely. 



L. bellargus, Eott. — Found rarely near San Eoque 

 (April 30th, and again in July, 1887) also at Malaga. 

 Summer specimens of the male have a submarginal row of 

 bright orange dots on the upper side of the secondaries. 



L. argiolus, L. — Generally common ; I have seen it on
