76 BUTTERFLIES OF THE RIVIERA 



LARVA. Unknown. 



VARIETY. ab. Erynis. 



The ocelli are absent from all the wings. Here, the 

 var. Erynis., or rather a form intermediate between 

 type and variety seem to be of more frequent occur- 

 rence. 



OBSERVATION. I am rather disposed to believe that 

 the v. Gorgone, Boisd, is to be found in the department, 

 but refrain from admitting it to a place in the 

 rhopalocera of the district, till its position has been 

 really established. It occurs in the Pyrenees. 



E. Ooant. 



TIMES OF APPEARANCE. July and August. 



HABITAT. In the neighbourhood of Saint-Martin 

 (formerly known as Saint-Martin-Lantosque) it is 

 found at the Madone, and in the Borreon, near the 

 Cascade. 



I captured a large specimea of the / in the former 

 place, on the mountain side facing the hotel, August 

 2 nd 1890, after a hot chase. Another j*, of considerably 

 over the average size, was taken in or near the 

 grounds of the little inn at the Cascade, August 10 th 1891. 



At these dates, the specimens were very fresh. 

 It appears to be somewhat scarce. 



LARVA. Unknown. 



VARIETY. - v. Gorgone $, H. S. (?) 



It is smaller than the type, and is stated as belonging 

 to the Pyrenees, though it is not unlikely as the type 

 exists in the department, that this variety of the female 

 may occur here also.
