90 BUTTERFLIES OF THE RIVIERA 



I caught a /, very worn, in this spot ; it had 

 apparently been hybernating since the preceding 

 season . 



LARVA. On Triticum ccespitosa and other grasses, 

 in April and May. 



EJ. Titlxoniis. 



TIMES OF APPEARANCE. July and August. 



HABITAT. Is found in the same localities as the 

 last, which it otherwise greatly resembles in appea- 

 rance and habits. 



OVUM. The eggs may be described as truncated 

 cones ; they stand erect, the base being broader than 

 the apex ; they have from sixteen to eighteen perpen- 

 dicular ribs, and a great number of extremely delicate 

 transverse striae; their colour at first is canary- 

 yellow, but in a few days they acquire a browner 

 hue, &c Condensed from Newman. 



LARVA. On Poa annua and other grasses, in May 

 and June. 



E. F*asipliae. 



TIMES OF APPEARANCE. June and July. 

 HABITAT. Milliere says, " It is not rare in the 

 glades of the small mountains." 

 LARVA. On Grasses, in May. 



E. Hyperantlnis. 



TIMES OF APPEARANCE. June and July. 



HABITAT. Common in fresh and wooded situations. 

 I have taken it in the fields below the Chemin de 

 Venanson.
