A HISTORY OF WARWICKSHIRE 



NYMPHAUN/E (continued) 



[Argynnis Dia, L. It was at Sutton Park 

 that this species was supposed to have 

 been taken by Weaver, and it was 

 also in this county at Leamington 

 that A. Aphrodite, an American 

 species, I believe, was supposed to 

 have been taken by Mr. Walhouse 

 as recorded by Morris] 

 Aglaja, L. Rare. Occurs at Wol- 

 ford Woods (Austen and W. C. E. 

 Wheeler) ; is quoted two or three 

 times in the Rugby lists from Bran- 

 don Woods ; the Rev. W. Bree re- 

 cords it from Coleshill Poo/, near to 

 which E. C. Tye believes he took 

 it some years ago ; and W. G. 

 Blatch gives Knowh in Brit. Asm. 

 Hand. I have never seen a Warwick- 

 shire specimen myself, and there is 

 not much ground suitable to it 

 Adippe, L. Not uncommon in some 

 of the larger woods. Coombe Woods 

 (W. Bree and G. B. Longstaff, 

 E.M.M. 1866, p. 138); Rugby = 

 Brandon Woods, etc. (Rugby lists, and 

 G. B. LongstafF in Newman's) ; 

 Wolford Woods (Austen, W. C. E. 

 Wheeler) ; Marston Green (E. C. 

 Tye) ; Knowh (C. J. Wainwright, 

 Blatch Hand.) ; Earlswood (A. D. 

 Imms) 



- Paphia, L. Found with Adippe as a 

 rule, not uncommon in most suitable 

 places. Wolf or d Woods (Austen and 

 W. C. E. Wheeler) ; Coombe Woods 

 (G. B. LongstafF, E.M.M. 1866, 

 p. 138); Rugby = Brandon Woods, 

 etc. (Rugby lists) ; Atherstone (C. 

 Baker) ; Chesterton Wood and Oakley 

 Wood near Warwick (common, P. P. 

 Baly) ; Corley (abundant formerly, 

 none seen for many years, W. Bree) ; 

 Brandon (W. Bree, 1900); Know/e 

 (Blatch Hand.) ; Marston Green 

 (E. C. Tye believes he took it 

 there) ; Sutton Park (A. D. Imms 

 records it as common in the Park, 

 see Entom. 1898, p. 43 ; Mr. Brad- 

 ley and I however have collected 

 in the very spot many times and 

 have never seen or heard of it there) 



SATYRIN.S 



Melanargia Galathea, L. Not common ; 

 is recorded from Alcester (R. C. 

 Bradley and Blatch Cat.) ; Know/e ;

SATYRIN.S (continued) 



Baly) ; Know/e (in woods near, but 

 not taken for many years, F. Enock 

 in Newman's) ; Weston Park (one, 

 Austen) ; Wolford (common in cer- 

 tain very restricted spots, does not 

 occur every year, W. C. E. Wheeler). 

 I have however not heard of any 

 recent captures in several of the 

 above localities 



[Satyrus Semele, L. Has been recorded in 

 the Rugby lists, but I doubt its 

 occurrence in the county] 

 Pararge ./Egeria, L. I believe not uncom- 

 mon in woods, but I have few re- 

 cords : Wolford (W. C. E. Wheeler) ; 

 Warwick (one, Baly) ; Rugby (many 

 times in Rugby lists from different 

 woods) ; and F. Enock in his list of 

 insects occurring within ten miles of 

 Birmingham gives it as common 



Megera, L. Common. Warwick (com- 



mon, Baly) ; Rugby (Rugby lists 

 many times) ; Wolford Woods (Aus-

 all suitable localities ; very abundant
