it is situated a long a vein. My Cyprian males measure 

 66-70 nmi. 



Verity has named a very small form from Nicosia as 

 ab. cypria, and gives the expanse as 45 mm. on the average. 

 I have not had one sent. 



Pieris (Ganoris) rapae, L. [race leiicosoma Schwrd. (1905) ; 

 vern. gen. vaga Friih.]. 



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

 — J.A.S.B., 1916. 



" An ordinary male spring form, which from its appear- 

 ance might have been taken in the North of Europe." — 

 A.E.G., 1916. 



" Common evervwhere from March to October : most 

 plentiful in April and May."— G.F.W., 1918. 



Only a few specimens have been sent, taken in Nicosia 

 in March ($s) and in April ((^s) and one (^ from Troodos 

 in July. They are of average size, of remarkably pale 

 yellowish white on underside of hind-wings with no trace 

 of dark powdering. Presumably the March-April speci- 

 mens were of the first generation, ijietra Steph. In the 

 males of this generation the discal spot is very faintly 

 marked and the costal blotch of the hind-wing is scarcely 

 traceable. In fact they conform tolerably well to the 

 Syrian race leucosonia Schwrd., of which the vernal brood 

 has been called vaga Friih. The Troodos male of July 

 being of the summer generation is of course more plainly 

 marked. 



Pontia daplidice L. [race persica Bien. ; ab. minuscula Vrty.]. 



" Recorded by Led. I found it very commoii every- 

 where."— J.A.S.B., 1916. 



" Two (^(^, both apparently summer brood, taken April 

 and June. The former had a very lightly marked apex 

 and very white wings, and was of normal size. The latter 

 was a small specimen, which I attribute to the var. raphani, 

 being nnich yellower below than the ordinary form. Both 

 specimens had very small discoidal spots." — A. E.G., 1916. 



" This species emerges in February in very small numbers. 

 In May, however, they are abundant everywhere in the 

 plains, and a few are to be seen on Troodos mountains up 

 to about 5000 ft. A third very small brood emerges in 

 September. The green underside varies greatly both in 

 shade and design in the various broods; the green in the
