The group of small Erebias, which are mostly peculiar 
to the Alps of Europe, and some of which are rather local, 
have been separated generically under the name of Oreina, 
Westw.; but I can find no character which justifies their 
separation from Erebia, and even if there were, the name is 
preoccupied. Though several of the species occur abundantly 
together on the same ground, fly at the same time, and 
have similar habits, I have no reason to believe that hybrids 
occur ; and though abnormal varieties of HL. epiphron, me- 
lampus, eriphyle, pharte, manto, are often difficult to identify 
without a good series and an intimate knowledge of their 
variations, yet they can be separated without having 
recourse to the genitalia, when one knows them well 
enough. I have nothing to add to what I wrote of the 
varieties of L. epiphron and E. melampus ; but £. eriphyle, 
which I formerly thought a doubtful species, seems, now 
that I know it better from the fine series kindly given me 
by Dr. Chapman, to be distinct. 
In the Central Alps it is rare or local, the variety 
described by Freyer, which occurs at Davos, and occa-
