SATYRID^: 87 



LARVA. On Festuca ovina, Poa annua and other 

 Grasses, in April and June. 



PUPA. Green or greenish black, rather angu- 

 lated, with two dorsal rows of yellow or white spots. 



I have found it suspended to rocks in sheltered 

 positions, on the Route de Venanson and at the 

 Cascade. When empty, it presents a white, transparent 

 appearance. 



VARIETY. v. Adrasta. 



This is a mountain form of the insect. It is slightly 

 larger than the type, and is very dark brown. On the 

 wing it has much the same appearance as an Erebia, 

 with which I have sometimes confounded it ; so dark 

 is its general aspect and colouring. 



HABITAT. Borreon, where it is common ; but is 

 rather less abundant at Saint-Martin itself. 



On June 13 th 1891, I captured four / arid one 9? in 

 the former locality. 



F*. JMegaera. 



TIMES OF APPEARANCE. Throughout the year, in 

 fine weather. 



HABITAT. Common everywhere. It has much the 

 same habits as the last. 



OVUM. At the end of May, 



LARVA. On Grasses from March to April, and 

 from June to July. Milliere gives September, as well. 



PUPA. Which is green, is suspended to walls. 

 I found what was apparently a chrysalis of this 

 species, near Gairaut to the north of Nice, suspended 

 to an aperture of a wall, May 3 rxl 1891. It had only 

 just changed to the pupal state.
