Swiss Diurnal Lepidoptera. 219 



&c. (I have taken it on the ascent of the Col de 

 Balme, at no great elevation above Chamouni.) 



148. rhamni. Common every where very early in spring, and 



a second time in July and August. 



Hecae'rge. 



149. celtis. Found by M. Escher of Zurich, in 1811, on 



the road above Crevola, at the southern foot of the 

 Simplon. No doubt everywhere in Italian Switzerland, 

 where Celtis australis grows abundantly. (So says 

 Meisner ; but the plant is by no means common in 

 Italian Switzerland.) 



Hespe v ri^. 



150. malvarum. Common everywhere in May and June; 



particularly large in the Valais. 



151. lavaterae. In the Valais, about Saillon, Lax, &c, rather 



abundant; also in the vicinity of Gampelen, on the 

 Lake of Neufchatel ; and I have taken it at Berne. 



152. alveus. In the Valais. (I have taken it in the Sim- 



menthal.) 



153. fritillum. Common everywhere. 



154. alveolus. Common everywhere ; varies very much. 



155. Sertorius. Rarer than the foregoing, which it much 



resembles : it is distinguished by a play of violet co- 

 lour on the wings, and the distribution of the black 

 bars on the chequered margin of the fore wings ; two 

 are placed near together near the front edge, then after 

 a greater interval three in the middle, and then the last 

 one near the inner corner. 



156. Tages. In April, July, and August, common every- 



where, 

 (pumilio. Near Berne, in June; very rare.) 



157. Ste ropes. In Italian Switzerland. I found it in Aug. 



1810, below Bironico, and on the south side of M. 

 Cenere, on the road. 



158. Paniscus. End of April, and in May, in and about 



woods ; in many places near Berne : not rare. 



159. comma. Common everywhere in July and August. 



160. Sylvanus. In May and June, in open woods; nowhere 



rare. 



161. linea. Very common on roads in July and August. 



162. lineola. Not rare near Berne. 



It will be observed that the localities usually pointed out 

 are, the neighbourhood of Berne, where Professor Meisner
