of C. avis, and the green of the underside lias a little of 
the tone that distinguishes C. avis, but a similar tone is 
not uncommon in 0. rnhi. The underside spots have the 
dark scales at their inner margins as in C. ruhi. On the 
meagre amount of material examined, I do not feel at all 
positive that suaveola is not perhaps a species, distinct 
from C. ruhi, as it certaiidy is from C. avis. 
The var. fcrviila of C. ruhi, with which I was at first 
inclined to agree with Mr. Tutt in placing my first odd 
specimen of C. avis, agrees with C. avis only in approach¬ 
ing its ruddy tint, 1 have seen no sj)ecimen reaching the 
rich tones of a really line G. avis', and in a little approach 
also in many specimens in the tint of green on the under¬ 
side—in all other respects it differs from G. avis as does 
ordinary G. ruhi. It was the prevailing form of G. ruhi 
at Amelie-les-Bains. 
I have not met with any further reference to the species, 
except my own note on the capture of my second Hyeres 
specimen in 1907, which appeared in “ Ent. Record,” vol. 
xix, p. 152, until I described the insect as a new species 
in the “ Ent. Record,” vol. xxi, p. 130 (see ante), and ex¬ 
hibited specimens at the Society’s meeting on June 2nd 
last (Proc. 1909, p. xxix). 
I was enabled to do this in consequence of having taken 
a few specimens in the Pyrenees-Orientales (at Amelie-les- 
Bains), and luckily observed a ovipositing, and thus suc¬ 
ceeded in obtaining eggs, and have reared the insect, up to 
the present, of course, only so far as the pupal stage. 
Since the description of the species was published Prof. 
Reverdin tells me he took a specimen some 20 kilo¬ 
metres east of Hyei'es, and I have seen a specimen in the 
collection of Mr. A. S. Tetley, of Scarborough, taken by 
Mr. Allan Rowntree at Bussaco, Portugal (within the old 
monastery pi'ecincts), on May 27th, 1904. The specimen 
is a ^ of 34 mm. expanse, in fair condition, but sufficiently 
worn to have perhaps been sometime on the wing. Still, 
the date seems later than one would expect, but the 
Atlantic side of the Peninsula probably does not warm up 
in spring so rapidly as the Mediterranean littoral. 
The specimen is very interesting as showing a wider 
distribution of the species than merely the western end of 
the Mediterranean basin. 
This Portuguese specimen led to my writing to my 
friend Prof. C. Mendes at Sao Fiel, asking him to look
