or suppressions of the coloration and marking sliovvn in 

 the typical form. The blue area of the fore-wings in the 

 female is somewhat more extended marginally. Most 

 species which are attached to plants extensively cultivated 

 vary greatly in size, and this species is no exception. 



Syntarucus (Langia) telicanus Lang [race aegyptiacus B.-B.]. 



" Recorded by Led. In the 15rit. Mus. Collection are 

 Cyprus specimens from Lederer's collection of the form 

 aegyptiacus. I obtained it fairly connnonly in the northern 

 hills."— J.A.S.B., 1916. 



" Var. acfjypliacus. A not uncommon s]:)ecies in the 

 plains during July and August. I have taken very few 

 examples as I am usually away from the plains during 

 these months."— -(I.F.W., 1918. ' 



Only a few specimens have been received. ■ 



Tarucus balcanicus Frr. [not theophrastus F.]. 



" Recorded by Led. The species was obtained by 

 Glazner in 1896 {ief;le B.M.). I obtained the form in the 

 southern hills."— J.A.S.B., 1916. 



" A fairly common species during May-July in the 

 plains. Usually found on dry stony ground and on 

 brambles."— G.'F.W., 1918. 



T. balcanicvs is treated in Seitz, " Pal. Gr.-Schm.," as 

 a form of T. iheophrastns, hence possibly the apparent 

 confusion. That these are two quite distinct species has 

 been conclusively proved by Mr. (I. T. Bethune-Baker in 

 his " Revision of the genus Tarucus " (Trans. Ent. Soc, 

 Lond., 1918), by the examination of the genitalia and 

 of the androconial scales. Dr. Chapman has very kindly 

 verified these Cyprians as bahanicvs and not the new 

 species which was (I.e.) described under the name medifer- 

 ranene, B.-B. The long series received show scarcely any 

 aberration. 



Chilades phiala Gr.-Gr. = [Zizera galba Led.]. 



" Recorded in the Annals of the Cyprus Natural History 

 Society (1912-13) as having been taken for the first time 

 in 1912 or 1913."— J.A.S.B., 1916. 



" Fairly common in the plains." — G.F.W., 1918. 



A long series very uniform in size and appearance. I 

 am indebted to the kindness of Dr. Chapman for the 

 identifica,tion of this species by morphological examination.
