ill May, and is full grown by the end of June, the imago appearing 
towards the end of July at the earliest. PI. XVI., 4. 
VARIETY. 
a. Farinosa, Z. Is. 1847, p. 5. This is larger than the type, 
and has the body and inner margin of the hind wings covered 
more thickly with down. 
Habitat. — The South and East of Europe and Western Asia.

Expands from 2-12 to 2-50 in. Differs slightly in outline 
from the last species, the angular projections of the wings being 
less acute, and the wings themselves broader. The male has the 
ground colour of the wings of a slightly deeper yellow than in 
G. llliamni, and the fore wings have more than two-thirds of their 
area occupied by a blotch of brilliant orange, which does not apjiear 
on the under surface. The hind wings have an orange discoidal 
spot. The female greatly resembles that of G. Rhamii, differing 
only in shape and in having the hind wings tinged towards the 
base with rusty brown. PI. XIV., 5. 
Times of Appearance. — The spring and late summer or 
autumn. 
Habitat. — The South of Europe, North Africa, and Asia 
Minor. 
Larva. — Similar in shape to that of G. llliamni, dull bluish 
green, rather darker on the dorsal aspect ; it has the lateral streak 
narrower than in G. Ehamni. PI. XVI., 5. 
Pupa shaped like that of the last species, but browner in 
colour. 
The larva appears in May and June on Ehanmiis alpmus ; the 
pupa in July. 
Some entomologists consider this a variety of the last, but it 
is difficult to see upon what grounds.
