2S BUTTERFLIES OF THE RIVIERA 



coloured streaks, but has rows of black spots along 

 the hind-margins. 



T. Queroiis. 



TIMES OF APPEARANCE. July and August. 



I took a $ of this species very fresh, on July 30 th 1891. 



HABITAT. Saint-Martin- Vesubie, on the high-road 

 to Nice about two miles from the village, in a copse 

 of oak trees off the road ; also, Route de Venanson. 



Its habit of frequenting oak woods is well known, 

 hovering over the tops of the trees, and settling on the 

 leaves. 



OVUM. On the twigs of oak, in July. 



LARVA. On Quercus robur (Common Oak), in 

 May and June. 



Stainton says " I find the statement that the larva 

 of this species frequently undergoes its transformations 

 below the surface of the earth, perfectly substantiated. 

 Carnivorous in captivity. 



PUPA. The caterpillar on assuming the chrysalis 

 state, is said by the most accurate observers not to 

 attach itself by the tail or by a silken belt, thus 

 resembling the pupa of Thecla Betulae, with which 

 species the present one is placed in the genus Zephyrus 

 by many modern entomologists. 



T. Ftulbi. 



TIMES OF APPEARANCE. April, May and August. 



HABITAT. Common everywhere . 



OVUM. Early in June. 



LARVA. On the flower buds of Rubus (Bramble), 

 Genista and various Papilionaceous plants. It is full- 

 fed by the beginning of July.
