Scottish examples have the pale markings of the wings pure white, the 

 majority of south English ones have the same parts decidedly yellow. 

 Moreover, I think the English race is rather larger, especially the $ insects, 

 which are also more highly coloured than the Scottish ones. As the white 

 marked is, I believe, the typical form, I would suggest the name var. {et ob.} 

 flavescens for the southern form.
