row of n,t least six red blotches on the margin of the hind- 

 wing and crelica only the first and last of the row, cypria 

 often has slight indications at least of one or two more. 

 In fact, it stands intermediate between the type and 

 cretica. The females are also pretty uniform, but show 

 some aberration in the development of the red marginal 

 blotches of the hind-wings, which in some specimens are 

 only separated by the dark veins, and in others the lighter 

 ground is also apparent on both sides of the dark veins. 

 All the colours of the females are richer and fuller; they 

 are darker and more marked than the females of cretica. 

 There are no specimens of the race deyrollei Obthr. 



[Aporia crataegi L. 



" Dr. Guillemard mentions having met with this species 

 in 1887. It was not recorded bv Lederer; and I never 

 saw it."— J.A.S.B., 1910. 



" Recorded but I have never seen it." — G.F.W., 1918. 



Has not been confirmed. Major Graves says {m lit.) : 

 " East side of Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon." Led. does 

 not record it from Beirut.] 



Pieris brassicae L. [race catoleiica Rrtber. (1890); ab. 

 nigronotata Jach. ; ab. cypria Vrty.]. 



" Recorded by licd. I found it abundant everywhere." 

 — J.A.S.B., 1910. 



" A specimen labelled ' rnpac ' puzzled me, I thought 

 for the moment it was P. mmmi, but the apex of the fore- 

 wing was too acute, almost falcate. It then dawned upon 

 me it was a quite small brassicae, which it proved to be. 

 Verity proposes to call all these dwarf Pieris forms by the 

 varietal name of nana to whichever species they may 

 belong."— A.E.G., 1915. 



" You have sent me two of these dwarfs. One of the 

 ordinary -sized males sent has a small black discal spot on 

 upperside of fore-wing. This is the var. nigronotata, and 

 I believe it is not rare where it occurs, which is chiefly in 

 the southern part of its range. I have it from N. Africa — 

 I think Tunis. ■ Your summer brood is interesting and 

 almost as good as the Asiatic form, which has been called 

 catoleuca; in fact, I think we may call them catoleuca. 

 It is the females which have been given this name, for 

 they have a very strongly marked upperside with very 

 clear light hind-wing underside. "^ — A. E.G., 1916.
