COLLECTING IN ASIA MINOR IN 1920. 45 



My captures here were the following : — 



Krynnis alceae. — A few second brood specimens seen. Those taken 

 were normal enough. 



Poivellia orbifer. — One worn out female of the first brood. 



Thymelicus actaeon. — One passable female. Many more seen, all 

 utterly worn out. 



Adopaea Jiara. — In even worse condition than the preceding. 



Ritniicia phlaeas. — Large dark forms abundant. 



Chrysophani'.s thersamon. — Not uncommon and fresh ; males 

 slightly lighter than the Constantinople average. 



Low'eia dorilis. — One mala captured, others seen. 



Celastrina argiolus. — A few, worn as a rule, in the orchards. 



Aricia medon g.a. calida. — Abundant and generally fresh. 



Polyommatus- icarus. — Not frequent. Very normal specimens of 

 the Mediterranean form. 



P. admetits. — One very fresh male on July 6th at Tut Liman. 



Agriades thersites. — The most abundant " blue " by far. Males 

 well out. 



Iphiclidea podalirius. — Not uncommon in the orchards. 



Pieris brassicae. — Rare. 



P. rapae. — Fairly frequent in the orchards. Of three $ brought 

 back two are very heavily marked with black and one has the right 

 antenna about \ the length of the left antenna. 



P. napi. — Males only were taken. These had extremely little dark 

 shading along the veins of the underside hindwing. 



Pontia daplidice. — Not common. 



Colias edusa. — A few. 



Leptosia sinapis. — Rare. The two specimens which I brought back 

 are quite normal southern second- brood specimens.

Pyrameis cardni. — Frequent. 



P. atalanta. — One damaged specimen released. 



Limenitis Camilla. — In bad order and not frequent. 



Pararge megera. — Second brood specimens $ s only, beginning 

 to emerge. 



P. maera. — One second brood g specimen unfortunately damaged. 



P. aegeria. — In shady places. The form was simply intermedia, 

 brighter in ground colour and with yellower spotting than egerides, 

 but nowhere near the brightness of ground colour and rich yellow 

 spotting of specimens from Athens and Syria. 



P. roxelana. — From the number of damaged females flying about 

 in shady places this species must have been frequent a month earlier. 



Satyrns circe. — Going over. 



S. syriaca. — Frequent and often in good condition. Of large size 

 and deep colour. 



Hipparchia briseis. — Frequent. All taken are of the race major. 

 In good order as a rule. 



Hyponepliele lupinita v. intermedia. — Local and sparingly. 



Epinephele jurtina. — Females only.

 race lyllus.
