appeared to me from its proportions and coloration (bright orange 

 below) to be referable to the typical form, and this view was confirmed

 This specimen, now in the British Museum, has been mentioned by 

 Dr. E. Ebner in Verh. Zool.-bot. Qes. Wien., 1913, p. 310. 



Habitat. — The var. erhardi appears to be restricted to the Grecian 

 Archipelago (Northern Sporades and Cyclades), the above-mentioned 

 reference to its occurrence near Athens being due to an erroneous 

 identification.
