GENUS EREBIA DALMAN (THE ALPINES) 



Rather small butterflies, dark in color, with eye-spots on the 

 wings, most numerous on the under side. Veins of fore wing 

 thickened at base; lower radial in some cases projected in- 

 wardly into the cell at point of origin. Outer margin of both 

 wings evenly rounded. Egg subconical, ribbed, the ribs often 

 intersecting each other. Larva with globular head, body ta- 

 pering backward, last segment bifurcate. Chrysalis convex 

 dorsally and ventrally, humped on thorax, produced at head, 

 light brown or ashen gray. 



The genus is arctic and confined to the far north, or to the 

 summits of high mountains, which have an arctic climate. 

 There are many species in the northern hemisphere, of which 

 we select two for representation.
