194 Mr. Henry J. Turner on the BuUerflies of Cyprus. 



it was taken in the plains near Nicosia, and is a female. 

 The more or less common Ephiephelid aberration of ir- 

 regular lighter patches of ground occurs only in one speci- 

 men in a very long series sent, a male, but hardly strong 

 enough to be termed ab. subalbida Schultz. Most of the 

 specimens, especially the females, have strongly scalloped 

 hind-wings, and may be called the ab. inlcrmcdia Stdgr. 



[Coenonympha pamphilus L. 



" I did not meet with it. Led. records this species and 

 the form ^;#/6-."— J.A.S.B., 1916. 



" Recorded, but I have never seen it. In 1918 I heard 

 of one having been taken by a scliool-bov at Kyrenia." — 

 G.F.W., 1918. 



Major Graves says {in lit.) : " Occurs in Lebanon, but 

 always at over 2000 ft. in my experience." Its occurrence 

 in Cyprus has never been confirmed. 1

" I found this species very sparingly. I took one 

 specimen on a sugared tree in daytime at an altitude of 

 over 5000 ft."^J."A.S.B., 1916. 



" I have found this species very sparingly. It apparently 

 emerges in July or August at a lew localities both in the 

 plains and on the mountains. It is very difficult to catch 

 as it frequents the tops of large trees, usually fruit. I 

 took one s])ecimen on a ' sugared ' tree on Troodos in July 

 1915 and another in July 1918."— G.F.W., 1918. 



Comparing the specimen received with Sicihan examples 

 there seems practical identity. The orange marginal 

 coloration is perhaps somewhat fighter in shade in the 

 Cyprian example. 



Limenitis rivularis 8co]^. ; [" Camilla Sehili"."] 



" Led. records this species. I obtained it but not 

 commonly on the mountains."- — J.A.S.B., 1916. 



" L. rivularis has the spots much stronger than those I 

 took in the Balkans."— A.E.G., 1916. 



" Confined to the Troodos range of mountains, where 

 it occurs in June and July rather sparsely. Difficult to 

 take as it is generally on blackberry bushes overhangir.g 

 rivers."— G.F.W., 1918. 



I see no variation from the ordinary European form.
