64 THE ENTOMOLOGIST 'S RECORD. 
never hit the right spot for Agriades thersites, only three males of which 
fell to my net, and though I took several very hispulla-like males of 
Epinephele jurtina at the beginning of May, I am not prepared to say 
definitely what form it is, having no females. An expedition to Tatoi, 
on April 26th, in the hope of obtaining Pieris krueperi, was unsuccess- 
ful. I saw some Pierids, which might have been P. krueperi, gambol- 
ling in the depths of an inaccessible gorge, but Glaucopsyche cyllarus 
and Leptosia sinapis were the only insects I brought back with me from 
ex-King Constantine’s estate. : 
In the following list H. signifies Hymettus, D. Daphne, A. Athens, 
T. Tatoi, K. Kephisia, and M. Mendeli. 
Hallia marloyi, D., October 14th, 1915; Hrynnis alceae, sparingly 
everywhere; H.? orientalis, generally distributed and more frequent 
than H. alceae. This insect was slightly darker than Constantinople 
specimens of H. orientalis, and it may possibly prove to be althaeae. 
Powellia orbifer, D.A., rare; Thymelicus acteon, just emerging in some 
numbers on May 8rd, D.A.; Rumicta phlaeas, A., March 27th, and later, 
D.H.; Callophrys rubi, D., April 10th, M., April 23rd; Polyommatus 
icarus, from April 7th, generally common, blue females frequent; 
| Agriades thersites, three males only, D., April 15th, M., April 28rd, H., 
April 25th ; Aricia medon, frequent everywhere ; Cupido sebrus, M., April 
23rd; Glaucopsyche cyllarus, generally frequent; Scolitantides baton, D., 
fairly frequent but going over, April 7th-15th ; Papilio machaon, twice 
seen on the Mendeli Road; Iphiclides. podalirius, A., March 27th, M., 
April 28rd, T., April 26th, always singly; Thats polyxena var. cassandra, 
D.H., rare; Pieris brassicae, common, but going over everywhere after 
April 10th ; P. rapae, generally common and worn in late March, second 
brood specimens taken on May 5th; Pontia daplidice, A.D., common 
and worn from March 27th to April 15th; Anthocharts crameri var. 
esperi, A.D., frequent in April, one g.aes. maxima on May 5th,at Daphne; 
Colias edusa, a few seen everywhere ; Gonepterya cleopatra, A.D., fresh 
on Mareh 27th, and worn in April; G. rhamni, seen at Tatoi only, April 
26th; Leptosia sinapis, M., rare, April 23rd, K., April 25th, T., April 
26th; Pyramets cardut, here and there ; P. atalanta, A.M., occasionally ; 
Melitaea phoebe, D., fairly frequent, H.M.; Pararye megera, sparingly at 
all localities except Kephisia; P. maera, M., April 28th; P. aegeria, 
one only, M., April 28th; Hpinephele gurtina, D., May 5th; C'oeno- 
nympha pamphilus var. lyllus (seuthern form), D.H.M.K., sparingly. 
The total amounts to only 31 species. 
My Egyptian results in 1916 and 1917 must be described on another 
occasion. Hn passant I may here remark that I spent eight days at 
Bude, from June 20th to June 27th inclusive, in 1916, and though the 
weather was not too favourable saw a fair number of common butter- 
flies, and captured Brenthis selene and Melitaea aurinia not very far 
from one of the Lycaena arion localities. Returning eastward all too 
soon, I was held up for a week at Marseilles, from July 1st to July 7th, 
and while waiting for a transport paid three visits to a locality, which 
is doubtless well known to French collectors, but is not familiar to me, 
to wit the pretty little village of Allauch, which is reached by tram 
(time about 40 minutes from the Hotel de la Grande Bretagne), and 
had quite an abundant Satyrid and Pierid population. My captures 
there were, Erynnis alceae (2), Polyommatus tcarus, Aricia medon (second 
broods of both just emerging), Pieris brassicae, P. rapae, P. manni, in
