ourselves took it, on August 11th, 1906, above Alios, in the Basses- Alpes; 

 end of June and early July, near Paris (Villiers and Guenee), June 10th- 

 July 1st, in the dept. Indre (Sand), in June, in the Haute-Garonne 

 (Caradja), and in the Gironde (Trimoulet) ; June and July, in Saone- 

 et-Loire (Constant), in the Basses-Pyrenees (Kondou), June 10th- July 

 25th, in the woods at Brenne (Martin). Milliere, as noted above, 

 states that the imagines appear in May and June in the Alpes- 

 Maritimes, but then erroneously continues that " the larva is to be 

 found in June and July," i.e., after the imagines have appeared in May 

 and June, a certain error since the species hybernates as egg. In 

 Austro-Hungary, June is given for Upper Austria (Brittinger), and 

 Lower Austria (Bossi), mid- June for Carinthia (Hofner) ; June and 

 July for Salzburg (Bichter); early July for Moravia (Schneider); July 

 for Bohemia (Hiittner) ; Himsl gives July and August for the Inn 

 Valleys of Upper Austria. Aigner-Abah* says that it occurs from the 

 beginning of June to mid-July at Budapest, whilst at Eperjes it 

 appears from mid-June to mid-July. Oberthiir notes a $ taken 

 in August in the Isle of Askold. The following actual dates 

 of capture may prove interesting : Continental records. — June 2nd,
