32 BUTTERFLIES OF THE RIVIERA 



It is a southern variety. 



HABITAT. Found at Nice, Cannes, Saint-Martin- 

 Vesubie, &c., in the same localities as the type. 



Genus 4. LYCLENA 



lu. Bcetica. 



TIMES OF APPEARANCE. August, September, and 

 October. 



HABITAT. I know of no special locality where it is 

 to be found ; but on October 8 th 1888, I took a superb 

 $ specimen of the insect, at Ray, near Nice. It is 

 rather scarce. 



It is found at Cannes, where it has been stated to 

 occur up to December. 



OVUM. " The eggs are laid in the autumn, on the 

 twigs of the plants, the newly emerged larva entering 

 the young pods in the following summer ; when it is 

 fully grown, it undergoes its pupution on the stems, or 

 in the leaves." 



LARVA. On Colutea arboreseens and Pisum sativum 

 (common garden pea), in June and July. 



OBSERVATION. It is not unlikely that this species 

 may occur at Lantosque, near the high-road to Nice, 

 as plants of the Colutea grow there. 



L,. Tellcanus. 



TIMES OF APPEARANCE. July to October. 



Milliere states from February. Stragglers in some 

 seasons may be taken, rather worn, as late as the 

 beginning of November.
