316 BRITISH BUTTERFLIES. 



of deciduous trees, and one finds it at least up to almost 5000 feet 

 elevation in the sheltered valleys, e.g., the Visp Thai, etc. (Tutt), and 

 near the village " im Grund," below the refuge (Anderegg). It is 

 found in the gardens of Geneva (Blachier), on the wooded slopes of 

 the Grand Saleve (Tutt), and On the banks of the Arve (Muscharap), 

 on sloe and bramble hedges about Gruyeres (Eowland-Brown), and on 

 the slopes of Pilatus, between Hergiswyl and the summit (Keynes). 

 In Belgium, it is common throughout in gardens -and woods (Dubois), 

 but, whilst generally distributed, is more frequently met with in 

 limestone districts (Lambillion). The recorded Italian localities are 

 few ; in Piedmont, the bush-covered flats in the Pellice Valley, 

 between Bobbie and Au Pra (Tutt) , and the outskirts of the chestnut woods 

 of the Certosa district (Norris); it is found by hedges, and on the 

 outskirts of woods in Liguria (Curo), and on the hill of Figline, near 

 Florence (Stefanelli). [The record of a single example in the spring, 

 in a hollow at Scaricalasino, on a bush of birch (Spada), is more than 

 doubtful.] 



British localities. — Widely distributed (and possibly much over- 

 looked), extending from Kent to Lincoln on the east, Kent to Cornwall 

 on the south, Cornwall to Dumfries on the west, and from Lincoln 

 to Dumfries on the north. In Ireland, it occurs from Wexford to 

 Kerry, from Kerry to Gal way, with practically no record of its 

 distribution elsewhere, except that Kane says it is abundant in certain 

 localities in Munster. It appears, however, not to be distributed in 

 Scotland, Dumfries being the only county from which it is recorded.
