Besides the differences in pattern stated by Stichel, it is much larger than 

 ev. eversmanni. My larg&st specimens of each measure :

Pamassius eversmanni maui Piingler. 



Pamassius eversmanni var. vrnvi Piingler. 



This form is still larger than ev. litoreus and the pattern of forewing is more 

 as in altaica.

 Pamassius clodius clodius Menet. 



Pamassius clodius Men^tries, Cat^l. Acad. Imp. .St. Petersb. Lepid. vol. i. p. 7 (1855). 



The forms of clodius are very hard to unravel, as in certain places the indi- 

 viduals resembling one or the other of the remaining races are fairly numerous ; 

 but as a rule 75 per cent, of the specimens run true to type.
