among other worn ones, was taken on August 31 st 

 one season. The wings of this species, as is the case 

 with E. Cassiope, c.,can be entirely without the small 

 black spots. Distinguished from the next, among other 

 things, by the slight violet sheen of the wings. 



LARVA. Unknown. 



VARIETIES. v. Caecodromus 

 and v. Dromus. 



The former of these two varieties differs from 

 the type in the absence of the fulvous bands and 

 ocelli. 



Dromus has the fulvous bands broader and redder 

 than in the typical form, and the ocellated spots are 

 larger. 



HABITATS. Found in the same spots as the 

 type. 



OBSERVATION. Specimens intermediate between the 

 type and Dromus are frequent. At Saint-Martin, the 

 typical insect is somewhat uncommon, and the 

 var. Dromus, though not very abundant is scarcer 

 than this forma intermedia. 



The $ is lighter in colour than the / ; and the u.-s. 

 of the f.-w. is pale fulvous inclining to yellowish ; the 

 marbled grey, too, of the h.-w. is also tinged with 

 yellow. 



EJ. Gorge. 



TIMES OF APPEARANCE. July and August. 



HABITAT. At or near Saint-Martin-Vesubie, it has 

 been taken on June 26 th (1891) at the Madone, and a $, 

 very large, on the Balme, July 4 th (1890). It is not very 

 common.
