THE ENTOMOLOGIST S RECORD. 



areas, e.g., beanfields, stubble fields and roadsides. It flies fast, 

 quartering considerable areas, and if frightened goes off at very high 

 speed. I am still uncertain as to its foodplant, but suspect a Sinapis, 

 or a Neslia. This species also occurs on the European side, witness a 

 small $ in the Robert College Collection taken at Rumeli Hissar in 

 May, 1915. The same collection contains another interesting insect, 

 a Brenthu euphrosyne from Baghchejik, Bithynia, near the head 

 of the Gulf of Ismid, taken in late April a few years ago. This 

 species occurs in the Amasia region, and Professor Tolg took a 

 specimen in the Amanus mountains, N. Syria, in 1914, but it was not 

 recorded by Mann from Brusa. On the other hand Mann records B. 

 selene, which does not occur so far as is known in Greece. One 

 wonders if Mann made a slip, since no one else seems to have taken 

 B. selene in Asia Minor, and the insect seems much more local than 

 B. euphrosyne even in the mountains of Bulgaria.
