180 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Satyrus Jiermione, L. Common on mountains, settling on rocks 

 and trees. S. semele, L. Females very large, measuring nearly 3 in. 



Pararge roxelana, Or. Common on hill-sides, settling on olive 

 trunks and rocks with S. hermione. P. mtBra, L. Scarce ; May. 

 P. mefjm-a, L. Scarce ; May. P. egeria, L. In Park. 



Epinephele janira, and var. Mspulla, Hb. Common. E, ida, E. 

 On coast and towards Lef kimo ; June. 



Spilothyrus alcecB, E. Not common ; May. 



Syrichthus orbifer, Hb. Fairly common ; May. 



Nisoniades marloyi, Bdv. Eare ; Mte. Pylides. May. 



Hesperia thaumas, E. Fairly common, but local. H. action, E. 

 Fairly common, but local. H. sylvanus, E. Fairly common, but local. 



Also one or two other skippers I have not quite determined. 



The above list is, I know, a short one, and whole genera are 

 absent ; but no doubt I missed many of the spring insects, and 

 left previous to the emergence of the autumn species. It was 

 noticeable that the summits of the mountains and hills afforded 

 the best sport. I need hardly speak of the extreme beauty of 

 the island, so rich in plants, or of the olive trees, which are 

 said to be the finest in the world, or of the picturesque Greek 

 costumes of the inhabitants. The climate was superb ; no rain 

 fell during the month I was there, and, although the sun's heat 

 in June was very fierce, there was always a pleasant sea-breeze, 



Bagni di Lucea. 



SYNONYMIC NOTES: PYRALID^. 



By W. Warken, M.A., F.E.S., &c. 



Through the comparison of types and descriptions rendered 

 necessary in the course of rearranging the Pyralidse in the 

 British Museum Collection, many synonymic rectifications have 

 occurred ; and as the publication of the synonymy in full will 

 not be practicable at present, a selection is now given of a few of 

 the most important, and generally interesting, corrections. 



Herbula, Guenee. 

 Herhula torvalis. 

 Botys torvalis, Moeschl., W. E. M., 1864, p. 198, pi. 5, 



fig. 16, a ; Pack. Labr., xi., 52 ; S. & W., Cat., No. 191. 

 Scoparia gelida, M'LachL, Journ. Linn. Soc, xiv., p. 115. 

 A comparison of the specimens from Grinnell's Land, in the 

 Brit. Mus. Coll., named by Mr. M'Lachlan Scoparia gelida, 

 with examples of Botys torvalis, Moeschl., lately received from 

 Dr. Staudinger, establishes the identity of the two species. 

 Moeschler's name has the priority.
