  Habitat. 
  — 
  This 
  species 
  was 
  originally 
  described 
  

   from 
  the 
  mountains 
  of 
  Greece. 
  The 
  first 
  specimens 
  

   were 
  obtained 
  by 
  von 
  Oertzen 
  at 
  Musinitza, 
  in 
  the 
  

   Korax 
  mountains, 
  on 
  the 
  limit 
  between 
  Doris 
  and 
  

   JEtolia, 
  at 
  an 
  altitude 
  of 
  5800 
  feet. 
  I 
  received 
  

   several 
  larval 
  specimens 
  from 
  Dr. 
  Kriiper, 
  which 
  

   came 
  from 
  the 
  Parnassos, 
  at 
  an 
  altitude 
  of 
  about 
  

   3000 
  feet. 
  More 
  recently 
  my 
  friend 
  Mr. 
  Norman 
  

   Douglass 
  brought 
  me 
  from 
  a 
  journey 
  to 
  Greece 
  several 
  

   specimens, 
  which 
  he 
  collected 
  on 
  the 
  hills 
  above 
  

   Klimenti, 
  in 
  Northern 
  Morea. 
  

  

  There 
  is 
  no 
  doubt 
  that 
  the 
  specimens 
  from 
  the 
  

   mountains 
  of 
  Bosnia, 
  referred 
  by 
  Boettger 
  to 
  B. 
  

   latastii, 
  belong 
  to 
  this 
  species, 
  as 
  pointed 
  out 
  by 
  

   Werner 
  ; 
  I 
  have 
  examined 
  a 
  male 
  specimen 
  from 
  

   Travnik 
  submitted 
  to 
  me 
  by 
  Dr. 
  F. 
  Werner; 
  and 
  

   another 
  from 
  Tajce, 
  collected 
  by 
  Prof. 
  E. 
  Brandis, 
  is 
  

   now 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum. 
  Werner 
  obtained 
  it 
  

   also 
  from 
  Montenegro, 
  and 
  Peracca 
  has 
  ascertained 
  

   its 
  presence 
  in 
  the 
  Apennines 
  (Monte 
  Morello, 
  near 
  

   Florence, 
  2600 
  feet; 
  Siena, 
  2600 
  feet; 
  and 
  Perugia), 
  

   where 
  it 
  occurs 
  in 
  company 
  with 
  It. 
  agilis.
