The Entomologist's Record and Journal of Variation, Vol. 17: January to December, 1905 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Entomologist's Record and Journal of Variation, Vol. 17: January to December, 1905
Colias phicomone was everywhere, some in magnificent condition, many, however, worn, but, on the whole, much smaller than the speci mens captured at Larche, the only other place where I have ever seen it in absolute profusion on ground where it could be taken, yet, strange to say, in spite of their average small size, I took one female larger than any I have from any other locality. Hyale, represented by two examples in 1899, and one in 1908, are quite pigmies, and the elevation is evidently too great for the species. (1. 110100110 loves most the slopes towards the Aiguilles Ronges, but is rather rare and often difiicult to catch. I took one pair in cop., and was much disappointed to find that the female, otherwise perfectly fresh and evidently newly-emerged, had the apex of the left forewmg gnawed off, as it were, possibly, one supposed, by a lizard. Only one pale-tinted female occurred. The specimens captured, too, are much smaller than those I have from Davos, Guarda, Pontresina, Saeterstoen and Bossekop, and are nearest the size of those from Mont de la Saxe. Mlnsa was not observed In the Combe d'arolla at all. It is marvellous at what a height l'ieris rapua occurs abundantly, well above 8000ft., and the specimens are of large size, though I only saw one example of P. Napi, a worn J with somewhat dark nervures, but not one of I'. Brassicae.
