Time of Appearance. — July. 
Habitat. — The highest parts of the Alps, on the verge of the 
snow-line, especially in the south-west of Switzerland and the 
eastern alpine parts of France. Girard remarks of this species 
that it is found at a higher elevation than any other Erebice, and is 
both difficult and dangerous to capture on account of the precipices. 
He mentions that M. Fallou has taken a worn specimen on August 
10th near the summit of the Gornergrat, at an altitude of more 
than 10,000 feet.
