Swiss Diurnal Lepidoptera. 213 



73. Pr6no£. In subalpine spots, as Kandersteg, Oeschenen- 



thal, south side of Gemmi above the Baths of Lou- 

 esch ; also on Wengen Alp, Scheideck, &c. ; very 

 common at Wimmis in the Simmenthal. The male 

 flies in July; the female, which is far more rare, is 

 first seen much later. (Meisner corrects not only 

 Ochsenheimer's synonymes, but his description also. 

 The latter says they were both correct, and that 

 Meisner's fly was not the same, but Hiibner's Pitho, 

 which he admits to be a good species. Boisduval ad- 

 justs the point by making Pr6noe a synonyme of 

 Arachn?, and Pitho a variety : both are found in the 

 same spots.) 

 (E N vias Godart. In the Alps in July, but rarely.) 



74. Goante. In August, chiefly on the south side of the 



Alps, as Grimsel, Simplon, &c. ; but sometimes to the 

 North, as on the ascent to the Grimsel, between Gut- 

 lanen and the Handeck : and on the St. Gothard, 

 from the Schollenen as far as Wasen. 



75. Gorge. On the High Alps, chiefly in stony or schistose 



spots ; ex., the Neuenen (on the chain of the Stock- 

 horn), the Daube on the Gemmi, Cherbenen Alp, 

 The ocelli and spots on the upper side are often want- 

 ing in the male. 



76. Manto. Common on the High Alps, up to the boundary 



of eternal snow. Of the whole of this family, it is 

 the species found the farthest beyond the limits of 

 vegetation. 



77. T^ndarus. Very common on the Alps; but always 



above the deciduous woods, and thence to the highest 

 regions, 



78. Davus. Very common on wet turfy meadows in June 



and July; varies much in the under side of the hind 

 wings, as do also the following species : — 



79. Pamphilus. Common in all meadows ; spring to autumn. 



80. I v phis. In June, on the Jura. 



81. Arcanitf. In the warmer districts, as along the southern 



foot of the Jura, near Lausanne, Lugano, &c. ; very 

 abundant. 



82. Satyriora. In subalpine meadows, and on the Lower 



Alps ; rather common. 



Lyc^ v n^. 



83. Ariow. Not rare in various districts in meadows, July 



and August. Of superior size and beauty, especially 

 the females, at Irnisserstalden, above Giornico (Tessin).
