200 Mr. Henry J. Turner on the Butterflies of Cyprus. 



Major Graves writes : " So far all ' fiaJba ' I have seen 

 from the Near East except those in Miss Fonntaine's 

 collection are karsandra." 



[Zizeeria lysimon Hb. 



" Recorded, but I have never seen it." — G.F.W., 1918. 



Recorded by Led. 



One would be inclined to suggest this as a wrong identi- 

 fication for the last species, had not Lederer given a descrip- 

 tion. " Brown male, blue at base; fringes brown, under- 

 side pale grey with discoidal lunules and basal eyes; a 

 double row of black marginal spots and angulated central 

 row of black dots, f inch." There has been no subsequent 

 record. 



Major Graves says {in lit.) : "I am very doubtful as to 

 whether lysimon occins in the East, North of the Red Sea."] 



Chilades trochylus Frr. 



"Recorded by Led. Taken by Miss Bate in 1901. I 

 found it on both mountain ranges." — J.A.S.B., 1916. 



" Fairly common in the plains May-August and also 

 occurs rather rarely on both ranges of mountains. Fond 

 of dry stony ground."--G.F.W., 1918. 



A long series also very uniform in appearance. One or 

 two of the males are much smaller than the others. 



Scolitantides baton Brgstr. 



" *S. baton, a rather large form." — A. E.G., 1916.

 plains in April 1914, since when I have each year taken 

 two or three examples." — G.F.W., 1918. 



In April 1919 this species seems to have been more 

 common as about two dozen were sent me, most of them 

 comparatively large in size. One or two of the males have 

 a narrow dark margin to all the wings, otherwise they seem 

 very uniform and typical in coloration. 



Aricia medon Hufn. (astrarche Brgstr.) [form ornataStdgr. ; 

 ab. calida ]>ell. ; brunnescens Harr.]. 



" Recorded by Led. I found it very common."— 

 J.A.S.B., 1916. 



" Of var. ornatn, the spring form, I have only one 2, 

 but it is very nice, the underside being silvery white and
