ENTOMOLOGY LEPIDOPTERA. 373 



Pup* which have lived through the winter, produced specimens 

 with spots shining like mother-of-pearl (belief), while the butterflies which 

 come forth the same season, after remaining but a short period in the pupa 

 stale, have the spots of a dead white (ausoitia). As A. belemia and glauce 

 stand in the like relation to one another, he concludes with reason that 

 they also are but modifications of one species, as has been long since proved 

 of Vanessa levaua and prorsa, between which the difference of colour is 

 much more considerable. Pierret (ibid. p. Ivii) has made known tin: 

 female of A. damone, Feisth. While the $ is like that of A. eupheuo, the 

 other sex has a great resemblance to A. calamities.. 



Kollar (Hug. Kaschin. 424-442, pi. 3-13) has added to the group 

 Heliconii, Acraea anomala ; to me it appears no more than a large variety of 

 A. vesta, F. to the Dauaidae, Danais sita, both from Cashmere, to the 

 Nymphalida?, Limenitis selenophora, opal inn, sankara, dichroa, Amathusia 

 i/i/i/i'sc/ia (= Cyrestis amat/iusia, Boisd.), Apatura ambica, Paphia huegelii, 

 horsfieldii, Adolias patala, A. ? derma, Ariadne wedah, Terinos siiiha, Argt/n- 

 nis sakontula, Melitaa durga, Vanessa caschmirensis, all from the Himalaya. 



Argynnis oscarus, Eversni. (Bull. Mosc. 588, pi 14, f. 1), is a new species 

 from Irkutsk, that conies nearest to Arg. ossiauus, Hbst., but is twice the 

 size. 



Freyer (Beitr. pi. 409) has figured the earlier states of Argynnis wo, 

 and (pi. 422) varieties of A. latonia, selene, and Melitaa athalia. 



Herrich Schseffer (System. Bearbeit. Schmetterl. Eur.) divides the Saty- 

 ridtf into genera thus : I. Bibs at the root of the fore wing not puffed up, or 

 the one next the fore edge only (eyes bare). 1. Arge: chequered black and 

 white; the feelers very gradually thickened. 2. Erebia: black or brown, 

 usually with a rust-red band before the border ; club of the feelers oval, 

 compressed. 3. Chionobas : brown witli a good deal of ochre yellow; feelers 

 gradually enlarging to form the club. II. Marginal and middle ribs of the 

 fore wing puffed up : A. Eyes bare. 4. Satyrus : the inner edge of the 

 hind wing not scooped before the tail-corner. 5. Epinephela, Hubn. : the same 

 edge scooped. B. Eyes hairy. 6. Pararya, Hubn. III. The ribs at the 

 root of the fore wing all three pnffed up ; eyes bare ; the inner edge of the 

 hind wing scooped in 7. Cn'itoi/ympha, Hubu. Not so in 8. Phryne, u. g. 

 To Epinephela belong the species hyperanthus, jMsiphae, ida, tithonus, narica, 

 eudora, janlra ; toPararga -pamphilus, &c.; to Cseuonympha dejauira, roxe- 

 lana, mcera, megcera, &c.; while Phryue is founded on Papilio phi-yne, Hubn., 

 which now receives the trivial name tircis, Cr. 



From the region of the European Fauna the following new species. Sat. ; 

 virbius, H. Schaff., (ibid. f. 45-48), from Southern Russia (= H. bryce, 

 Ochs.); Hipp, cyclopius, Eversm. (Bull. Mosc. 590, pi. 14, f. 3), Irkutsk; 

 H. dene (Friv.), H. Schaff. (f. 108-111, and Freyer (Beitr. pi. 415, f.
