CATALOGUE OF ZERYNTHUNAE AND ALLIED GENERA IN 

 THE TRING MUSEUM, WITH CRITICAL NOTES. 



By lord ROTHSCHILD, F.R.S., Ph.D. 



SINCE I compiled the catalogue of the genus Parnassius in the Tring Museum 

 in 1909, an immense amount of work has been done on the genus, and many 

 articles have appeared, among the principal authors being Herr Fnihstorfer, 

 Dr. Verity, Mr. Adolph Bryk, and the latj Dr. Pagenstecher. Monsieur Avinoff, 

 also, has made great collecting trips in many parts of Central Asia and has made 

 numerous fine discoveries. Though very few new species have been described, 

 a host of new local races have been discovered ; and not a few, which were 

 previously known, have, owing to more careful investigations, proved to be 

 distinct from the races they had previously been identified with. The number 

 of specimens of Parnassius at Tring has increased very largely in the last 

 nine years, but not in all the forms. I have lately rearranged the genus and 

 co-ordinated it with the allied genera, and I think, owing to the great interest 

 taken in these fine insects, a new and revised catalogue is not superfluous. 

 I am including all the genera allied to Parnassius and Papilio as well as 

 Parnassius itself in the two articles I am publishing in this vohime. I gave a 

 list of Parnassius only in Novitates in 1909. Except in very few instances I 

 am not enumerating the individual specimens of aberrations, only stating that 

 among the enumerated series are individuals of named aberrations. 



The order of the subspecies and sometimes even of the species, is not always 

 that followed by Herr Stichel or by Dr. Verity, and must not be taken as mean- 

 ing that I assert that their classifications are wrong ; but merely as being one 

 I found easier to follow in arranging my series.

Luehdorfia puziloi yessoensis subsp. nov. 



This form has always been placed as identical with p. pmiloi, but it is quite 

 distinct.

 wings and the black bands of the forewings are heavier. ? shows the same 

 differences from ;). puziloi 9 as the ,3 does, but in addition the median vertical 

 lappet of the horny pouch is much larger and longer.
