considerable intensification of coloration over the whole 

 surface. Still another has a dark ring developed around 

 the second white spot of the fore-wing. And several 

 females have the usual sharp-pointed extension of the tawny 

 band of the fore-wing into the disc more or less undeveloped. 



Pararge aegeria L. 



" I found this species fairly common." — J.A.S.B., 1916. 

 (Not recorded by Led.) 



" Not a common species, occurring both in the plains 

 and on the mountains, generally near streams of water. 

 April-September."— G.F.W., 1918. 



Of the few which have beeu sent all have been typical 

 aegeria with very minor aberration only, such a series as 

 might have been obtained, say, at Hyeres. Not one 

 showed an approach to the brilliant specimens obtainable 

 in Algeria, etc. 



Pararge roxelana Cram. 



"Recorded by Led. I found it locally; it frequents 

 the tops of the carob trees." — J.A.S.B., 1916. 



" A rather rare and very local species only occurrmg in 

 the mountains at the Kyrenian Pass and at Troodos. 

 Found in carob trees and in thick hedges, very rarely in 

 the open, therefore verv difficidt to take. May-July."— 

 C4.F.W., 1918. 



A short series very uniform in size and marking have 

 been received. One male has an additional eye -spot on 

 the underside fore-wing below the apical eye-spot. I 

 note that the light discs above and below the apical eye- 

 spot are more pronounced than in the Syrian form. 



Pararge megera L. [race lyssa Hb.]. 



"Recorded by Led. I obtained it commonly; speci- 

 mens 'Were identified at Tring as var. lyssa." — J.A.S.B., 

 1916. 



" A first brood of this rather uncommon species emerges 

 in March, and another in May. Found in the plains and 

 on the mountains in small immber." — G.F.W., 1918. 



The short series received appear to be all of the S. 

 European form lyssa Hb., in which the underside of the 

 hind-wing is grey instead of showing the dark-brown 

 suffusion of the type. This character is more pronounced 

 in the summer brood than in the earlier brood in which
