196 Mr, Henry J. Turner on the Bnllerjlies of Cyprus. 



Dryas pandora ScliilL 



" I found this beautiful fritillary in some numbers high 

 up on the southern range. It is very fond of visiting the 

 flowers of a low ground-thistle." — J.A.S.B., 1916. 



" All I have to say about this is that it is small and 

 rather hghtly marked. I daresay you have discovered that 

 the best way to take this insect is when it is feeding on a 

 thistle. It is a strong flier and diificult to catch on the 

 wing."— A.E.G., 1916. 



" Confined to the Troodos range of mountains at high 

 altitudes. Flies in June, July and August, and is fairly 

 common. Very fond of visiting the flower of a low ground- 

 thistle."— G.F.W., 1918. 



Quite small, and typical in marking and colour. 



Libythea celtis Laich. 



" Recorded by Led. I found it, though not abundantly, 

 on the southern mountains. "^ — J.A.S.B,, 1916. 



" Confined to the Troodos range of mountains. Rare. 

 I have only taken it four times in ten years, during July 

 and August."— G.F.W., 1918. 



Klugia (Thecla) spini Schiff. 

 " Reported to me by Major P. P. Graves as having 

 been taken in Cyprus." — J.A.S.B., 1916. 



Bithys querciis L. 



" I obtained this species on the* Southern range." — 

 J.A.S.B., 1916. 



" Confined to the Troodos range of mountains at high 

 altitudes; it is not uncommon. Flies in June and July 

 and is usually found on the dwarf oak {Quercus alnifolia).'^ 

 — G.F.W., 1918. 



The few examples received are quite typical. 



Cigaritis acamas Klug. = [Cigaritis zohra Don/.]. 



" I obtained a few specimens from the Northern hills."— 

 J.A.S.B., 1916. 



" I have only taken this species once, on the Kyrenian 

 mountains in July."— G.F.W., 1918. 



Major Graves writes me : " I believe that Marsden 

 showed me Cigaritis not zohra but acamas from Cyprus." 



I have just received a Cigaritis taken on Troodos, Aug.
