Expands from 1*50 to 2 in. Dark brown. Male : Fore wings 
with a somewhat lighter submarginal band, or at least with faint 
indications of one ; on this are two round large black spots, and 
between them two white dots ; hind wings lighter in the centre, 
with a submarginal row of white dots, and with a black spot near 
the anal angle. Female somewhat lighter brown ; the black spots 
on the fore wings are sometimes surrounded by yellow rings, and 
there are often some yellow submarginal spots on the hind wings. 
Under side : Fore wings with yellow rings surrounding the black 
spots ; the spot nearest the apex has a white centre ; internal 
to these is a white streak, bounded internally by a black line, hind 
margin grey ; hind wings brown, with a central white band, 
bounded internally by a wavy dark brown line ; between this and 
the base is another similar line, the hind margin is lightish grey, 
and there are one or two submarginal light spots. The hind 
margins of the hind wings are dentate ; the submarginal fringes of 
all the wings white. PI. LXIX., 4. 
Times of Appearance. — July and August. 
Habitat. — Central Europe (but not Great Britain) ; in the 
South of Europe it is rarer, being generally replaced by the variety 
Allionia. It frequents rocky woods, though not usually in chalky 
or limestone districts. In France it is found as far north as 
Fontainebleau, and used to occur in the Bois de Boulogne. 
Larva.- — Undescribed as far as I am able to discover. Girard 
quotes Maurice Sand to the effect that it “ feeds on grasses in woods 
during June, and that it is easy to procure by sweeping at 
night” (p. 213).
