392 Mr. H. J. Elwes on the 



L. argiades. W. — Not noted by any one from the 

 mountains, but, as I took it at Biarritz, it most 

 likely occurs in the lower parts of the Western 

 Pyrenees. 



32. L. agon. E. C. To 6000 ft. June, July.— Com- 



mon almost everywhere. 



33. L. argus. C. Fide Oberthur. — Not seen by either 



De Graslin or Struve, but noted at Cautarets 

 with cegon by Oberthur ; and I took one or two at 

 Gavarnie, which I believe to be argus. 



34. L. orion. E. 1500 ft. — Not seen by me, but noted 



by de Graslin at Villefranche. 



35. L. baton. E. 1500 ft. — Not seen by me, but 



specimens taken at Vernet by M. Nou were inter- 

 mediate between the type and the var. panoptes, 

 which I have from Collioure, on the coast. Struve 

 notes both the type and panoptes at Vernet. 



36. L. orbitidus. E. C. 6—8000 ft. July. 



37. L. pyrenaica, Bdv. C. 6— 8000 ft. July. Cf. Ob., Et. 



Ent. Liv., viii. p. 16. — With regard to this species, 

 Oberthur has cleared up some of the doubt which 

 existed as to pyrenaica, and, whether it is treated 

 as a distinct species or only as a variety, it seems 

 to be quite easy to distinguish not only from 

 orbitidus of the Alps, but also from the form 

 found with it in the Central Pyrenees. In the 

 eastern part of the range alone I found it at 

 Gavarnie and on the Pic du Midi, whilst orbitidus 

 was common above the forest, by the track from 

 Vernet to the Pla Guilhelm. My collection con- 

 tains a good series of the forms of this species, 

 and, though I cannot agree with Oberthur in all 

 points, yet I think the arrangement given in Stau- 

 dinger's Catalogue may be amended as follows : — 

 L. orbitidus, Prun., Sum. Alp. Pyr. Altai, Alatau, 

 Tarbagatai.

 ? Var. podarce, Feld., tehama, Peak., nestos, Bdl.
