SATYRWM. 
Laeva. — Light brown, with a dark olive-brown dorsal stripe, 
and lateral stripes of brown edged with white. Feeds on various 
S23ecies of grasses, such as Triticum repens, &c., in the autumn, and 
again in the spring, after hybernation. 
VARIETY. 
Aristseus, Bon. Bescr. p. 177, T. ii. 1 ; Tr. x. 1, 30 ; Frr. 
397, 1. — This variety has the brown markings much more intense 
than in the type, sometimes a 2 )proaching to fulvous; the under side 
of the hind wings is also more strongly marked with grey and white. 
Habitat. — Corsica, Sardinia, and Sicily. 
Obs. — S. Seinele acquires a darker and more intense character, 
as regards coloration and markings, as we approach the south than 
that seen in northern specimens. The present variety is an 
extreme form, and perhaps may be considered as a subspecies, like 
many others peculiar to the above named islands. PI. LXVII., 2.
