NOTES ON RHOPALOCEEA IN CORFU. 



By Frank B. Norris. 



Whilst lately visiting Corfu with a friend intent on Botany, 

 I carried my net with me, and, thinking that a list of butterflies 

 taken there during the latter half of May and first half of June 

 might interest some of your readers, I venture to send it to 

 you:— 



Papilio podalirius, L. {sinon, Poda.) Common on tops of moun- 

 tains. P. machaon, L. Common on tops of mountains. P. alexanor, 



E. Much less common and apparently earlier. 



Pie7-is brassiccB, L. Fairly common. P. rap(B, L. Fairly common. 

 P. ergane, Hb. Rare. P. daplidice, L. Common in lowlands. 



Euchloe belia, F., and var. ansonia, Hb. Common. E. tagis, Hb. 

 Common on hills. Var. bellezina. Common on hills. 



Leucophasia sinapis, L, Large, 1*75 in. and above. Ab. diniensis, 

 Bdv. Common. 



CoUas editsa, F. Approaching C. myrmidone, E., in colour and 

 markings ; abundant. Some specimens of male insect had hind wings 

 shot with rosy violet. 



Gonoptergx rhamni, L, G. cleopatra, L. Commoner than the above. 



Thecla ilicis, E . Abundant on low bushes on hill slopes. T. rubi, 

 L. On hills in May.

F. Common. 



Dyccena argiolus, L. In the Park. L. minimus, Fuessly. Mte. 

 San Salvatore ; May. L. melanops, Bdv. On bushy slopes ; May. 



Charaxesjasius, L. This splendid butterfly first appeared towards 

 end of May, and became more abundant as June progressed. Always 

 found on higher mountain tops, where the arbutus grows freely, such 

 as on Mte. Mattia, San Georgio, &c. Its exceedingly rapid flight 

 makes its capture difficult without breaking off the tails. 



Limenitis Camilla, F. On bushy sheltered slopes. 



Vanessa egea, Cr. Common. V. polychloros, L. Over trees in 

 town of Corfu and Park. V. urticce, L. Rare ; of the variety turcica,

 lanta, L. Common. V. cardiii, L. Common.
