72. L. theophrastus. 



A single specimen Zebedani, May. (A single specimen 

 from Blouden, taken by Prof. Day, is, I believe, this species, 

 whicli Lederer records from Beyrout (taken by Zach) ; 

 halkanica, however, is so close that I do not know how 

 to distinguish them certainly. — H. J. E.) 



73. Lycmna argus, and var. betta, H. S. 



Common above Afka in June. All the specimens very 

 small. (Two males from Afka seem to come nearest to 

 this form.— H. J. E.) 



74. L. loewii. 



One at Baalbek, May 31st, and one in the Anti-Lebanon, 

 4000 feet, 



75. L. astrarche. 



Common above 4000 feet, Lebanon, Anti-Lebanon, and 

 Hermon. 



76. L. panagea. 



Rare. Hermon and east face of Lebanon, 4500 feet, 

 May and June. 



77. L. anteros, var. crassipuncta, Christoph. 



Common from 3000 — G000 feet, Lebanon, Anti-Lebanon, 

 Hermon. (Though the types of this well-marked variety 

 from Kasikoparan in Armenia was not in Cliristopli's 

 collection, it has been identified with it by Mr. Banghaas. 

 All the males taken by Mrs. Nicholl are perfectly alike, 

 and very different from those found in Bulgaria and Asia 

 Minor. This variety, however, seems to occur only locally, 

 as a specimen from Shah-deresey, North Syria, is inter- 

 mediate in colour, and those from Borjom in Armenia in 

 the Christoph collection are typical. The female has, like 

 those of eurypilus, broad orange red bands on both wings 

 above.— H. J. E.) 



78. L. iscmrica, Stgr. 



Common all through the Lebanon range from 4000 — 

 5000 feet, May and June. (Among the specimens which 

 Mrs. Nicholl identifies with this, were three of which I 

 was doubtful, and sent to Dresden. Mr. Banghaas returns
