66 BUTTERFLIES OF THE RIVIERA 



A. IViolbe. 



TIMES OF APPEARANCE. July and August. 



HABITAT. According to Milliere, " it flies in 

 mountainous regions." 



LARVA. On Viola tricolor and odorata, in May. 



VARIETIES. ab. Eris 

 and ab. Pelopia. 



The u.-s. of the h.-w. have the light spots changed 

 to pale yellow,without any trace of silver. Occasionally 

 a faint silvery tinge is seen in the light markings, as 

 in Ntobe. Specimens, in fact, are met with intermediate 

 between type and variety. 



HABITAT. At Saint-Martin-Vesubie and mountainous 

 districts generally ; it is found on the Route de 

 Venanson; Mt. Colmiane; and the Balme de la Frema. 



This variety is the form of the insect most usually 

 met with. 



ab. Pelopia, Bork, has the wings suffused with 

 black by the extension of the dark markings. 



It may here be well to mention that individuals of 

 this genus are sometimes to be seen, whose wings 

 bear white patches or traces of markings of a light 

 colour. The reason for this condition has already been 

 stated. The same thing may be observed in the case of 

 Erebia Cassiope and Epinephile Janira.lt is known by 

 dealers as albedine infecta. 



A. Adippe. 



TIMES OF APPEARANCE. May to July. 

 HABITAT. Fairly common everywhere. 

 It is also found in the mountains, but not at any 

 great height.
