SATYRID^^:. 



their colours than the j^recetling European species, and the hind wings are generally marked on tlie under side with six very elegant 

 ocelli, that next the anal angle being generally doubled, but occasionally wanting. The males of several of the species arc distinguished 

 by a dark-coloured oblicjue bar across the middle of the upper side of the fore wings composed of raised scales, giving the space a satiny 

 appearance. 



Tlie Caterpillar of L. Majra is figui'ed by Hiibner. It is double -brooded, the second brood living through the winter, and producing 

 the Butterfly in the following May. It feeds on Poa annua, Festuca fluitans, Hordeum murinum, &c. It is pale green, with a dark 

 dorsal and paler lateral lines, and clothed with fine whitish hairs. 



The Caterpillar of L. jMegrera is represented by Hiibner, Esper, Sepp, Lewin, &c. It is more slender than that of L. jNIrera, light 

 green with three dusky stripes. It feeds on different kinds of grasses, and is double-brooded, being foimd in May and August. The 

 Chrysalis is dark-coloured, with paler protuberances ; two obtuse ones on the head, and one on the thorax-case, which is wanting in 

 L. Sla>ra. The Perfect Insect frequents lanes and road sides, especially delighting to settle upon walls. 



The Caterpillar of L. ^ISgeria is also figured by Iliiliner, Kleeman, Sepp, Lewin, Freyer, &c. It feeds on grasses, preferring the 

 common couch grass ; and appears in March, jNIay, and June, there being several broods of them in the year. 



The Caterpillar of L. Dejanira is likewise figured by Hiibner and Freyer, and feeds on Lolium temulentum. JNI. Bellier states, 

 however (Ami. Soc. Ent. France, 1846, p. xiii.), that he had foiuid the last-named Caterpillar feeding upon an oak. 



The species appear to be widely dispersed, being found in all the temperate and warmer parts of Europe, as well as in New Holland. 

 The latter, however, differ in generally wanting the elegant ocelli on the under side of the wings. There are also several undescribod 

 species in the British Museum collection from Santa Fe de Bogota and Colombia, which Mr. E. Doubleday has doubtfully added to the 

 present genus. I likewise possess a fine species from Northern India, which, although having the upper side of the fore wings uniformly 

 coloured, exhibits the ob'ique silky bar of raised scales in the males.
