Times of Appeaeance. — The end of June and the beginning 
of July. 
Habitat. — Woods in Central Europe (but not in Britain, 
Denmark, or Belgium), Livonia, North Italy, Central and South 
Eussia, Armenia, Siberia, and the Amur. Though absent from 
Great Britain and Belgium, it is found in many parts of 
France, even in the Bois de Boulogne. The French call it “ le 
mirroir,” from the beautiful pattern of the under side of the hind 
wings. 
Larva. — Light green, with a darker dorsal line ; lateral lines 
yellowish white. Feeds on grasses in May and June. 
Genus 6. — CARTEROCEPHALUS, Lederer, z. b. v. ii. 
p. 26 (1853). 
Cyclopides, Steropes aut Heteropterus auctorum. 
The species constituting this genus are separated from the 
last on account of the great width of the head and the prominence

other respects they resemble Cyclopides, except that the wings are 
chequered with dark brown and fulvous above instead of being 
uniform brown. There are two European species, one of which 
occurs in England.
