306 BKITISH BUTTERFLIES. 



Of a number reared in 1907, Raynor sends the following particulars : 

 August 3rd, 1 2 ; August 6th, 1 $ ; August 7th, 2 $ s; August 8th, 5 $ s; 

 August 11th, 1 $ ; August 13th, 2 ? s ; August 15th, 1 $ ; August 17th, 

 2 $ s; August 18th, 3 $ s ; August 20th, 1 ? ; total, 9 <? s, 10 ? s. In 

 Asia, it is recorded as occurring in July in Amurland (Staudinger), at 

 Chabarofka (Graeser), and at the mouth of the Ussuri (Bremer); in 

 July and August in western and central China, including the Moupin 

 district (Leech), about mid- July in the Ala Tau and Tarbagatai (Haber- 

 hauer), in early August at Ongodai (Elwes),andin July and August in 

 the Kouldja district and the neighbouring mountains (Alpheraky). In 

 Kussia, in June and July in the Ural district (Eversmann), July in the 

 Vologda district ; July and August in the Wiatka Govt. (Kroulikowsky), 

 the end of August and September in Transcaucasia (Romanoff), whilst 

 the dates extend from June 20th, throughout July, to the end of August, 

 for the Baltic Provinces (Nolcken). In Bosnia and Hercegovina, it 

 occurs from mid- July to mid- September (Rebel) ; from mid- July in 

 Bulgaria (Bachmetjew), and from August 2nd to October 14th in 

 different years in Roumania (Caradja). In Hungary, where the species 

 is rather rare, it occurs from mid- July until the end of August (Aigner- 

 Abafi). In Austria, it occurs generally from July to September 

 (Hofner), e.g., July to September in Bohemia (Hiittner), at Prague 

 dates are recorded from August 7th to October 4th (Fritsch) ; mostly 

 in July and August in Moravia (Schneider), dates are recorded from 

 July 22nd to October 3rd at Briinn, from August 9th to September 21st 

 atNeutitschein, and July 2nd to August 8th at Rottalowitz (Fritsch), and 

 August and September in Upper Austria (Brittinger); Himsl, however, 

 notes from June to September for Linz, whilst, for the same place, 

 Fritsch gives actual records as August 19th and October 22nd. [We 

 suspect June as a mere accident, and quite unusual, even if it be not an 

 actual error.] In Lower Austria, July to October is noted ; at Vienna, 

 the species is recorded from July 30th to October 17th ; at Gresten, 

 August 4th-17th (Fritsch) ; in Salzburg, August to October (Richter), 

 where actual records extend from July 8th to October 21st (Fritsch) ; in 

 the Tyrol, at Taufers, August 26th is noted, but at Wilten, June 9th-26th 

 (Fritsch); the latter dates are, we suspect, captures of larva?, not 

 imagines ; similarly, Fritsch's records of May 15th for Admont, in 

 Styria, and May 31st for Agram, in Croatia, are also possibly meant 

 for larva? ; the real time of appearance for Styria is rightly recorded 

 by Hofner as being from July to September. Fritsch suggests 

 two broods in Moravia, but his dates, May 28th to June 27th, at 

 Rottalowitz, no doubt refer to larva?. It Italy, where the species 

 appears to be very rare, it occurs in Piedmont — from end of July to 

 mid- August in the Certosa di Pesio district (Norris), also in mid- 

 August in the Pellice Valley (Tutt), at the beginning of August in Liguria 

 (Curo), rather rare in September in Lombardy (Turati), in August 

 and September near Florence, in the hills of Figline (Stefanelli) ; 

 [the record "in the spring a single example near Osimo, in Sicily 

 (Spada)," is almost certainly an error] . In Switzerland, one long 

 late summer brood only occurs, extending from the end of July far 

 into the autumn (Frey); August and September in the Valais (Favre); 

 early August in the Val d'Anniviers (Wheeler), mid- August in the 

 Val d' Herens and the Visp-Thal, also late July and August near 

 Geneva (Tutt). In France, it is recorded as occurring in July in the
