now possess, but can find no mention of it in the 

 books. 



They were obtained from larvae, (presumably of 

 Spini], collected last summer, (1891). The wings have 

 the same expanse as Spini, and the upper surface of 

 the f.-w. resembles that of T. Spini, but has the dull 

 orange patch on the f.-w., like Ilieis ; and the h.-w. 

 have large yellowish spots at the anal angle. In the 9? 

 there are five of these graduating in size, of a lighter 

 colour than the /, instead of one. 



The u.-s. of all the wings is identical with that of 

 Spini, having the ample clearly defined white zig-zag 

 lines, &c. 



It has the large blue spot at the anal angle of 

 the. h.-w. 



There are also faint traces of yellow spots on the 

 hind-margin of the f.-w. 



I may add that I only got two of these remarkable 

 varieties out of eighty-one larvae. 



T. "W. Album. 



TIMES OF APPEARANCE. July and August. 



HABITAT. Nice, at Saint-Barthelemy, &c., and at 

 Cannes. A $ specimen was captured on a plant of 

 marguerite daisies in the first mentioned locality, on 

 June 10 th 1890. The species had been taken in the 

 same spot, at an almost identical date in the preceding 

 season. 



It is not very common in Nice owing, I suppose to 

 the scarcity of its food-plant, in the larval state, in 

 the neighbourhood. 



OVUM. On the twigs of the elm, in July and August.
