tapering at the extremity, back arched, anus bifid. Surface of the 
skin hard and coarse. Legs 3 + 1 + 1 = 5 pairs. Length about 
4 centimetres. Habits sluggish.” Sch^iyen adds — “ There is 
scarcely any doubt that the larva really belongs to this species. 
It is found on the same grassy sandbanks where the butterfly is 
abundant, and it seems quite sufiicient that Sandberg collected it 
in July, 1881, along with many specimens of the butterfly which 
w^ere flying around the grassy banks of Jacob Eiver; and he also 
observed a crippled specimen, incapable of flight, which must have 
been hatched on the spot.”

the under side than in the type, the contrast between the light and 
dark bands being greater. The neuration is distinctly marked with 
white, as in (E. Acllo, &c. This form occurs in Lapland as an 
aberration, but in Labrador, Greenland, and Kamschatka it exists 
as a true variety or local race.

Characteks. — Larvffi smooth, tapering towards the anal 
extremity, which is bifid. Usually brown or grey in colour, with 
dorsal and lateral longitudinal lines. They generally feed at night 
on various kinds of grasses. 
Pupa 3 . — Smooth, fusiform, rounded towards the head, and ta- 
pering towards the anal extremity to a point. Usually not suspended, 
hut lying in a cavity in the ground made during the larval state, 
sometimes protected by a sort of loose cocoon. 
Imagines. — Large or middle-sized butterflies, usually diflicult 
to take on account of their habit of settling on rocks and tree-
