This form has been hitherto united with behrii, but is at once recognisable 

 by its larger size and red ocelli.

Famassins apollo (Linn.). 



FeUx Bryk in Intern. Entom. Zeitschr. Guben, vol. v. p. 141 (1911) showed 

 for the first time that the type of Linnaeus' Papilio apollo had been captured 

 at Torsburg on the Island of Gothland ; but unfortunatelj' figures by mistake 

 a pair of specimens sent him by Bang-Haas which came from Ostergothland on 

 the Swedish mainland. The typical apollo is a small form resembling the Swiss 

 races in general appearance, rather than the mainland Swedish forms, which 

 have hitherto figm'ed as typical apollo, but must now stand as apollo scandinavicus 

 Hare. A certain amount of uncertainty has been engendered by the fact that 

 a considerable number of specimens sent to Bang-Haas and said to come from 

 Wisby and Torsburg on the Island of Gothland, and alleged to have been bred, 

 are much more like a. sauidinuvicus than the large series captured by Felix 

 Bryk at Torsburg. Although Bang-Haas strenuously opposes both these 

 possibilities, I can only suppose either that Bang-Haas' correspondent mixed up 

 apollo larvae from the island and the mainland in his breeding cages and that 

 the series in question had been hatched from mainland larvae, or it might be 

 that the fact of being reared in captivity may have altered the appearance and 

 size of the specimens. Whichever is the right cause, the specimens received 

 by Bang-Haas cannot be considered tj^ical apollo at all.

 July 1912 (F. Bryk) ; 1 cj, 2 $? Wisby, Island of Gothland. 



These Wisby specimens are very large and resemble scatidiruivicus. I doubt 

 if they are true apollo.
