2. E. Delia, Cram. Pap. Ex. pi. 397 (1782) ; Esp. 92, 1. — 
Cramcri, Butler, Eut. Mouth. Mag. (1809), p. 271. 
Expands from 1‘25 to 1’75 iu. Wings white. Fore wings 
with a black tip spotted with white, a large quadrate black discoidal 
spot, and having the costa spotted with black. Hind wings white, 
and without spots, hut showing the pattern of the under side 
through the texture of the wings. Under side : — Fore wings with 
a white crescentic mark on the discoidal spot, the tip greenish 
yellow, marked with pearly or silvery touches. Hind wings dark 
green, mixed Avith yellow, and marked with a number of pearly or 
silvery spots, for the most part round in form. The female is 
rather larger than the male. PL VIII., 5. 
Time of Appeaeance. — From March to June. 
Habitat. — The South of Europe, North Africa, and Asia 
Minor. Occasionally near Paris (Boisd.). 
Lakva. — Yellow, with black spots and rose-coloured lateral 
and dorsal stripes. Feeds on Biscutella. 
Obs. — Mr. Butler has proposed the name Crameri for this 
species, as it is probable that Bella Avas the name given by Linnseus 
to E. Euphenoides of Staudinger or to the Algerian E. Eupheno. 
Papilio Bella of Esper is the Ausonla of Hiibner (var. Auson.ia of 
this Avork). To avoid confusion, and as it is very doubtful Avhat 
really was the Bella of Linnaeus, I have, as usual, preferred to 
folloAV Staudinger’s Catalogue. 
VAEIETIES. 
a. Ausonia, Hub. 582-3. Slightly larger than the type; the 
black markings are much paler. The costal black spots are either 
Avanting entirely or else very inconspicuous. Under side ; — The 
tips of the fore Avings and the hind Avings have the dark green 
colouring replaced by yelloAv ; the streaks and spots are larger 
and more irregularly arranged than in Bella, and are Avhite, Avithoiit 
any silvery lustre. It is found in the same localities as Bella, of 
the second brood of which I believe it to be a variety or dimorphic 
condition. It appears in June. PI. VIII., 6. 
h. Simplonia, Err. B. 73, 2 (1829). Very much resembles 
Ausonia, but is somewhat larger, and has the fore wings more
