396 Mr. H. J. Elwes on the 



78. A. aqlaia. E. C. 2— 6000 ft. June, July. 



79. A. adippe. E. C. To 5000 ft. July. 

 %80. A.paphia. E. C. 2— 4000 ft. July. 



81. Melanargia galathea. C. To 3000 ft. July. 



82. M. lachesis. E. 1—4000 ft. July.— Very abun- 



dant at Vernet, but I never saw M. galathea here 

 or lachesis to the westward. 

 88. Erebia epiphron. E. C. 4— 7000 ft. July. — The 

 form which has been named pyrenaica by Herrich- 

 Schaffer, and which is characterised by Staudinger 

 as var. major ocellis magnis, seems to me too 

 inconstant to be worthy of distinction, and, 

 though the majority of the specimens I took at 

 Vernet and in the Hautes Pyrenees, are certainly 

 somewhat different, yet there occurred with them 

 specimens hardly distinguishable from those of 

 the Alps, which are usually cassiope. Staudinger 

 notes E. melampus as found in the Pyrenees, but 

 I know of no good authority for this. 



84. E. manto?, var. ccecilia, Hb. C. 4500— 6000 ft. 



July, August. — I found, in the Luchon district, a 

 black spotless Erebia, associated with ceme, which 

 I at the time took to be a form of that species, but I 

 find that it is referred by Staudinger and Oberthur 

 to manto, which is also given by Staudinger, in his 

 Catalogue, as an inhabitant of the Pyrenees. I 

 never saw a specimen of manto, however, from these 

 mountains, and, being also ignorant of the female 

 of ccecilia, do not know if it differs as much on the 

 under side from the male as the female of manto 

 does from the male. Ccecilia is said to be found 

 as an aberration in the Eastern Alps, and I have 

 specimens from the Valais and Gadmenthal which 

 are intermediate between ccecilia and ceme. 



85. E. ceme. C. 4 — 6000 ft. July. — Not uncommon 



near Luchon in July. Struve mentions having 

 found the var. spodia also in this district, but I 

 think it is doubtfully distinguishable. 



86. E. stygne. E. C. 3—6000 ft. June, July.— The 



commonest species of Erebia everywhere up to 

 about 5000 ft., where it becomes mixed with Evias 

 at Vernet, and some of the specimens taken here 

 are so like Evias that I can hardly say to which 

 they belong.
