LIST OF MACRO-LEPIDOPTERA OBSERVED IN NORTH-WEST 
MOROCCO IN 1870-71. 
BY TROVEY BLACKMORE. 
Two years ago, I contributed to the Ent. Monthly Magazine a list 
of Lepidoptera observed at Tangier, in the spring of 1868. Since that 
time I have spent the greater part of two winters and springs in the 
same locality, and have collected a large number of insects of most 
orders, a record of which I hope from time to time to furnish to this 
magazine. Pending the examination and determination of some of my 
captures of Coleoptera and Hemiptera, I annex the following list of the 
Lepidoptera with which I have met. It will be noticed that I have 
taken specimens of every species ¢s ptured by me in 1868, with the 
exception of Crateronyx Ph ilopalus. 
Lhave marked with an O. several species taken by Signor Olcese, 
a resident Italian entomologist, whose attention is mainly devoted to 
Coleoptera, but in whose boxes I found a few Lepidoptera, all taken in 
the immediate vicinity of Tangier. In the following list, I have adopted 
the arrangements of Doctor Staudinger’s recent “ Catalog der Lepidop- 
teren des Europwischen Faunengebiets.” 
RuHOPALOCERA. 
Papilio Podalirius, L. The variety Feisthamelii, Dup., occurs com- 
monly in the spring at Tangier. I met with the typical form at 
Fez. Dr. Hooker, who has this year visited the Atlas mountains, 
saw this species at an elevation of 6000 feet. 
Papilio Machaon, L. QO. 
Thais Rumina, L. Not uncommon in March. The variety Medesicaste, 
Lil., abundant. 
Pieris brassice, L., and rape. Both abundant, ‘and the specimens 
very large. 
Pieris napi, L. Several. 
Pieris Daplidice, L, One small and very dark specimen, early in April. 
Anthocharis Belemia, Esp. Common on sunny places in December, 
January, and February, frequenting the flowers of a sweet-smelling 
Tberis. Later in the year, April and May, appears the variety 
Glauce, Hb.,in the some localities. It seems to bea first brood, of | 
which the typical Belemia is the second. 
Anthocharis Belia, Cr. A single specimen in April. 
Anthocharis Eupheno, L. (Douei, Pierret). I secured a splendid series 
of this beautiful species, which is common near Tangier in the ° 
early spring. The females are rare, occurring in the proportion of 
one to every ten males.
