LEPIDOPTERA IN PENINSULAR ITALY DURING THE YEAR 1920. 13 



The hope of finding P. apollo and the females of S. cordula, A. 

 niobe, and S. ragazzii detained my family at San Fili till the first days 

 of July, but the females did not emerge, so that on July 5th, after 

 a long and fruitless mountain excursion, my wife and my daughter 

 decided to leave Calabria and to come to me in the Garfagnana. It 

 was absolutely not worth while to wait for the end of the " summer 

 pause," which appeared to be very protracted, and to remain so far 

 away in these turbulent times in which all communications might be 

 cut off. After four days' journey my family were re-united at 

 Careggine on July 10th.

 from May 19th to July 5th, 1920.
