SATYRIDM. 
Times of Appearance. — From the beginning of July to the 
end of August. 
Habitat. — Central Europe (excepting Denmark, Holland, 
Belgium, and the British Isles), North and Central Italy, 
Bulgaria, South Eussia, and Asia Minor. It is usually found in 
calcareous districts, and I have found it common in the rocky woods 
on the borders of the Swiss lakes, and similar situations. In 
France it occurs as far north as Rouen. 
Larva. — Reddish grey or flesh-colour, with a dark brown 
dorsal stripe edged with white ; lateral stripes dark grey ; stigmata 
black; head reddish, with dark brown longitudinal lines. It is 
found in woods in June on Avena elatior ; at the end of June 
it becomes a rounded brown-coloured pupa, not suspended, but 
placed on the ground in a kind of small earthy cocoon (Girard).
