Swiss Diurnal Lepidoptera. 209 



der the name of Testudo, was once taken on the com- 

 mon of Reutigen (near Thun). 



30. urtlcae. Common everywhere, even to the highest re- 

 gions. A variety very analogous to the Testudo has 

 been found near Yverdon. 



SI. c. album. Gardens and hedges everywhere; double- 

 brooded. 



32. Prorsa. Not rarely here and there in the neighbourhood 



of Berne, in July. 



33. Levant. Much rarer than the preceding (of which it is 



certainly a mere variety) ; in the spring : was once 

 found in August. 



Limeni n tis. 



34-. Lucille. Early in August, at Lugano ; not known north 

 of the Alps. 



35. Sibylla (Camilla L. & Stephens). Common in woods in 



July. 



36. Camilla (Sibilla L. & Stephens). Much rarer than the 



last ; in June ; about hedges and skirts of woods. 



37. populi. From end of June to middle of July, about paths 



in woods where aspens abound : but nowhere common. 



Apatu n r^. 



38. Pm.. In July and beginning of August, in and about 



woods, highways, &c. ; in some years and places 

 abundant. I have twice taken in the Grauholz, near 

 Berne, the variety separated by many authors as a dis- 

 tinct species by the name of Pol*'; one had scarcely 

 any trace of the white band on the hind wings, the 

 other had it slightly marked. 



39. Ilia, and its varieties, in similar places. 



Hippa'rchl^. 



40. Proserpina. On arid slopes near fir forests in July ; very 



frequent in some places in the neighbourhood of Berne. 



41. Briseis. On arid heights in August and September; in 



many places very common. I have not met with Och- 

 senheimer's variety Pirata (which Boisduval marks as 

 native of the South of France). 



42. Hermion?. Very common in the Upper Valais in July 



and August ; also along the Jura, as above Bienne, 

 &c, and in some places near Berne. 



43. Alcyone. Esper and Borkhausen consider this and the 



last as varieties of one species, in which I am not dis- 

 posed to differ from them ; as in the Valais, where
