310 THE ENTOMOLOfjIST. 



var. eris, abundant everywhere ; my father caught a specimen of 

 the var. pelopia near St. Moritz in 1884. 



Erebia epiphron var. cassiope, a few very dark specimens were 

 captured in the Roseg Valley. E. melampus, abundant in every 

 meadow. E. mncestra, common on the Schafberg, just above the 

 tree limit. E. evias, common near St. Moritz in 1884. E. glacialis, 

 common on the summit of the Schafberg, but difficult to catch 

 on account of its frequenting dangerous precipices. E. lappona, 

 common on the Muottas Murail. E. tyndarus, abundant in many 

 places, at a lower elevation than E. lappona. E. gorge and var. 

 triopes, common near the Bernina Hospice and in the Heuthal. 

 E. goante, abundant near the Languard Fall towards the end of 

 July. E. euryale, very abundant ; the females vary very much in 

 their markings, some being very like E. ligea, and others more 

 like E. cethiops. 



I found no species of Satyrus or Epinephele in the Upper 

 Engadine ; and in looking at a type collection, made by the 

 landlord of the Hotel Saratz, I noticed that he had not any also, 

 although he had specimens of Pararge moera, that he said he had 

 caught there, but he had taken them a long time ago, and did not 

 seem to know much about the species. It is plentiful in many 

 of the lower passes on the way to the Engadine, from Chur or 

 the Italian Lakes. E. ianira was very common at Bellagio, and 

 occurred some way up the Maloja Pass, but not at such an 

 elevation as Pontresina by a thousand feet or more. 



The only species of Satyrus that I noticed this year were 

 S. semele and S. dryas, both common near Thusis, about 4000 

 feet lower than the Engadine. The Upper Engadine Valley lies 

 at an elevation of 5550 feet at Pontresina to 6000 feet at 

 St. Moritz ; and I see that Dr. Lang says that Epinephele ianira 

 does not inhabit the higher alj)ine regions. The common 

 species of Satyridge seemed to be replaced by the various 

 species of Erebia. No doubt several species occur in the 

 Lower Engadine ; but we did not explore the Engadine lower 

 than Bevers. 



Coenonympha satyrlon, abundant everywhere. C. pampliilus, 

 not so common as C. satyrion ; occurred in the Boseg Valley. 



Syrichthus serratulce, common near the Lake of St. Moritz, 

 and several other places. S. cacalite, abundant often at a great 

 elevation, especially in the Roseg valley.
