Butterflies of the Lebanon. 83 



15. P. napi. 



One bad specimen only at Zebedani, early in May. 

 (Belongs to the first generation. — H. J. E.) 



16. P. daplidice. 



Universally common. (Var. raphani (Esp.), one speci- 

 men from Djebel Sunnin. — H. J. E.) 



17. P. ergane. 



Two specimens near Afka, June 21st. Probably not 

 uncommon there, second brood would be just coming out 

 at that date. (This species has not, 1 believe, been 

 recorded from Syria. — H. J. E.) 



18. Etochloe belemia, 



(Taken by Mrs. Day at Sid on in April, but not by 

 Mrs. Nicholl.— H. J. E.) 



19. E. belia. 



Not uncommon along the coast, but scarce inland. I 

 took it only at Zebedani and near Damascus, May. 



20. E. charlonia (Donz), var. penia (Freyer). 



Not common, but widely distributed in the Anti-Lebanon 

 and inland districts. I saw none on the west side of 

 Lebanon. I took four specimens, viz. two at Bluden, one 

 near Chemoustar, east side of Lebanon, in May, and one 

 in June, about 5000 feet up; on a foothill of Hermon I 

 saw about four others, in various places. (A specimen 

 taken at Ain Zohatta in April, by Mrs. Day, and others 

 taken by Mrs. Nicholl are paler than the var. mesopotamica, 

 Stgr., from Malatia, which he catalogues as a summer form, 

 but not so pale as the var. transcaspica (Staud.), and 

 must be referred to the form Penia (Freyer), which Stgr. 

 catalogues from Pontus and Kurdistan as a spring form, 

 which the dates of capture show to be the case in Syria. 

 The discoidal spot of the underside below is pale, as in 

 mesopotamica and E. tomyris, not dark, as in transcaspica, 

 hccilla and charlonia. — PL J. E.) 



21. E. damonc. 



(Taken by Mrs. Day at Ain Zohatta, April 8th. Not 

 seen by Mrs. Nicholl.— H. J. E.)
