214 Swiss Diurnal Lepidoptera. 



On the Alps, on the contrary, is often found a much 

 smaller variety, which, particularly in the females, has 

 the upper side nearly black, and only slightly pow- 

 dered with blue. 



84. A'lcow. In July, near Berne ; ex., the Engi, rarely. 



85. Euphemus. Moist forest glades, July and August ; not 



common. 



86. E'rebus. In July and Aug., near Berne, in turfy meadows. 



87. Cyllarus. In May, on meadows and dry hills near Berne ; 



rare. 



88. A v cis, double-brooded. In May and August; rather 



common. A much smaller variety is found on the 

 Alps. 



89. Argiolus. About woods, in May and June. 



90. Damow. In July and August ; in the Valais, and by 



Bex, &c; very common. On this side (i. e. the 

 northern or Bernese) of the chain of Alps, it is found 

 in but few places, as Grindelwald, Scheideck, Zuben- 

 stock, on way to the Grimsel. 



91. A'lsus. Very common on the roads, in May and Aug. ; 



also on the mountains, as the Jura, extremely small. 



92. Pheretes. Here and there on the Alps; but always 



rare. I have found it on the Scheideck, in the Oesch- 

 enenthal, &c. It is more abundant on the Alps of 

 Chamouni. 



93. Daphnis. One of the rarest; in the Valais between Sierre 



and Varogne; the female much more rare than the 

 male. 



94. C6rydow. From July ; common almost everywhere. 



95. Dorylas. May and June ; not rare in meadows. 



96. Adonis. May and August; not rare in meadows near 



Berne. 

 97- Icarius. In the Valais between Sion and Sierre; rather 

 abundant. (Meisner, not being quite certain of his 

 species, gives a long description, not necessary to 

 repeat, as Ochsenheimer says it is the true Icarius). 



98. AlcaeMs. Common everywhere all the summer. (The 



variety mentioned by Ochsenheimer as nearly one half 

 smaller, and with a line of black spots on the upper 

 side of the hind wings, is found on the Alps.) 



99. E v ro5. Found by Professor Studer in the Lower Valais. 



100. orbitulus. On High Alps, in July and August. 



101. Agestis. Upper side brown in both sexes ; not rare in 



Alpine valleys of the Jura, Valais, &c. 



102. Eumedott. Also, upper side brown in both sexes; 



much larger than Agestis, and particularly distin-
