E. charlonia, transcaspica, Stgr. Seitz. 1.22c. 
Male wings more rounded than Jlucilla @ and much paler yellow, 
about same tint as lucilla ¢ and, like, it with forewing paler than h.w. 
Upperside, colour pale sulphur-yellow, base of wings black. Forewing : 
discocellular broad, short, transverse oblique irregular oblong black bar 
as in typical charlonia, not so large and rectangular as in /weilla, and not 
quite extending to the costal margin: Apex . black with pale spots. Hindwing, 
uniform immaculate: underside forewing yellowish white, pale yellow in cell ; 
the discoidal spot black and oblong: costal and terminal margins pink. Hind- 
wing and apex forewing green of the same tint as Jucilla, but the white 
central spot of hindwing smaller and with very small white spots on costal 
margin intermediate between the veins. Antennz cream-white, tips yellow. 
Expanse.—1°5 inches. 
Capt. Riley notes of this :—‘“ Of the typical transcaspica (2nd generation) 
form. The first brood (? January-February) form has been named vernalis 
by Verity. LeCerf records it from Danoh Konh, and says itis slightly 
intermediate; the specimen referred to above agrees very well indeed 
with transcaspian specimens in the B. M.” 
This male in fresh condition was taken by the writer on 11th April 1920 on a 
small hill-crest about 500 feet elevation on the Jebel Hamrin ridge at the 
Fathah gorge on the right bank of the Tigris. Its habits seem to be identicai 
with those of A. lucilla, which is very active, keeps much on the move and 
has a hurried flight, keeping usually a foot or so above the ground on which 
it occasionally settles with open wings. 
Locality :—Mesopotamia—Jebel Hamrin range on the right bank of the 
Tigris at Fathah gorge, on April 11th. 
E. gruneri, H.-S., ssp. armeniaca, Chr.Seitz. Vol. 1. 22 g. 
Captain P. A. Buxton obtained it commonly at Menjil towards the end of 
March 1919, flying amongst thick bushes in a gully. Z. gruneri H. 8., which 
is yellow, is found in Turkey and Greece. armeniaca is a white race flying 
in Armenia, South Asia Minor, North Syria and North Mesopotamia. 
Genus GONEPTERYX, Leach. 
G farinosa, Zeller. Seitz. Vol. 1.42.b: 
Key : Very similar to the English “‘ Brimstone,’ only with mealy appearance 
on the upperside, and the orange discoidal spots of forewing are minute or 
absent. 
Two males were taken in the Karind Valley, N. W. Persia, at 5,300 to 
6,000 elevation in mid-July, one of them in a vineyard, the other in a glade 
in a wood. 
They are slightly larger and have smaller orange spots than either rhamni 
type or r. nepalensis; the hindwing being paler than the forewing, and the 
butterfly when flying looked at first sight very like a Catopsilia. 
Localities.—Greece, Asia Minor, W. Asia. 
There are two named sub-species :— 
centralasie, Stgr., from Turkestan, and chitralensis, M., from Chitral. 
Food-plants—Zizyphus jujuba and Z. vulgaris.
