COLLECTING IN HUNGARY. Ill 



arranged, and which Herr Szlabey said I should join, I did not 

 go to Orsova. I was back in Budapest on the 15th ; two 

 members of the Entomological Society had been at Peszer pro- 

 specting the day before, and had only secured of Melanargia 

 iapygia var. smvarovius two males. The party had therefore 

 decided not to leave until the afternoon of the 17th, as they 

 surmised the species was not yet out, and to stay two days. I 

 regretted that I could not delay so long ; but since then Herr 

 Szlabey writes : " We visited the place, five entomologists, but 

 none of us saw any myrmidone or suwarovhm, and we returned 

 after two days' hunting without the least hope of catching the 

 latter species this year. I suppose for smvarovius it was already 

 too late." I think it is quite evident that this species is not so 

 common in this locality as formerly. 



I appand a list which I am afraid is not a full one, as it re- 

 presents only those of which specimens were obtained and those 

 that I distinctly remember having seen : —
