106 THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S RECORD. 
worn individuals as there were of fresh ones. The Anthocharis cramert 
(belia) and Kuchloé cardamines were in full development, but it was not 
possible to collect many specimens on account of the inclemency of the 
season. ‘The Avicia medon emerged in a form which differs from that 
of the continent by the presence of a complete series of fulvous 
lunules well marked even in the males. The vernal brood of 
Coenonympha pamphilus and Cupido minimus were nearly over, 
still it was possible to collect several good specimens. Both 
Species appeared in races such as I had never met with in other parts 
of Italy. The C. minimus is especially notable for its extreme small- 
ness ; the largest specimen measures only 18mm. across the wings, 
from point to point, whilst the smallest specimen from other localities 
which I have seen measures at least 21mm. Both males and females 
are entirely black on the upperside. Of Pyramets cardwi and P. atalanta 
there flew as many tattered specimens, all females, as there were fresh 
ones (males and females). On May 8rd, 1918, Melitaea cinwia began 
to emerge in a race which seems to me identical with that of Tuscany. 
Thesame day there appeared also Amata (Syntomis) marjana,a superb new 
species recently discovered by Stauder, and Zygaena ovytropis. There 
were also captured or seen to fly out of reach of the nets, perfect males 
of Papilio podalirius and P. machaon. On May 5th a male of Aporia 
crataegi race augusta and one of Melanargia pherusa were captured. 
From May 7th to the 11th it was impossible to collect on account of 
the rain. I will communicate the results of the further collections as 
soon as I receive the material and observations from my daughter.—

Rare British Burrerrry.—“ Mr. L. G. EKsson, the well-known 
Aberdeen naturalist, who is at present on an entomological excursion 
to Kinloch Rannoch, Perthshire, has had the good fortune to secure a 
specimen of the rare butterfly, Vanessa antiopa, the Camberwell Beauty 
of the white-banded form. Thisis one of the rarest British butterflies. 
The specimen secured measures four inches across the wings.” (From 
an Aberdeen paper.)—C. Nicuonson. April 20th, 1918.
