SATYRID^. 



lono-, armed with several rows of long sharp spines. Claws long, curved, acute, and entire. Pseudonychia 

 long, slender, bifid. Pulvillus moderately produced. 

 Abdomen long and slender. 



Caterpillab pubescent, but slightly elongated, marked with longitudinal stripes ; body gradually attenuated, 



and forked at the tip. 

 Chrysalis short, rounded, destitute of tubercles, of a pale colour; the head marked with two black spots; 



not suspended by the tail, but resting on the ground under the grass 



This genus is exclusively composed of those species of Satyridaj which have the ground colour of the wings white, mark 

 )nts ; hence they are termed " Leucoinelanlens " and " Semideuils " by the French entomologists, and hence the 



rked with black 

 spots ; hence they are termed " Leucomelaniens " and " Semideuils " by the Jj'rench entomologists, and hence the name of the 

 " Half-mourner " and " Marmoress," a]iplied to our only English species. The species appear to be confined to the warmer portions of 

 Europe, especially frequentinu the shores of the INIediterranean ; one species only, A. Galathea, occurring in our more northern climate, 

 and extending to Sweden. The species are extremely vari.able in the amount of the black colour disposed over their wings, some 

 specimens of A. Galathea being almost entirely black; A. Clotho, on the contrary, exhibits the smallest amount of this colour. Hence 

 the determination of the species which are closely allied together is very difficult, which has led M. Alex. Lefebvre to search for some 

 permanent character for their identification, which he considers to exist in the form and arrangement of the veins connecting the 

 postcostal and median veins at the extremity of the discoidal cell, and which he terms the " nervure cellulaire"(our upper, middle, and 

 lower disco-cellular veins), and which he accordingly employed in his paper on this family, in the first volume of the " Annales " 

 of the French Entomological Society. M. Boisduval does not, however, appear to regard it as of so much imiwrtauce as M. Lefebvre 

 claims for it. 



The transformations of A. G.alathea and its variety A. leucomelas have been illustrated by Ecisel, Hiibner, Freyer, and other authors. 

 The Catei-pillar is green, with a brownish red head, a darker dorsal and two paler lateral stripes; its body is terminated by two small 

 red spines. It feeds in May on the Phleum pratense. The Pupa is shiny, oval, of a yellowish colour, with two black eyelike spots at 

 the sides of the head.
