Parnassius tatsienluica Verity and Parnassius tibetanus Leech. 



Dr. Verity treats the first of these forms as a subspecies of jacquemontii and 

 the second as a distinct species, while Stichel treats tibetanus as a subspecies of 

 jacquemontii and tatsienluica as an aberration of it. I have 3 c?cj tatsienluica 

 but no 99, so I cannot decide for myself, though Dr. Verity should be able to 

 judge having examined large series of both in the collection of Mr. Charles 

 Oberthiir. I therefore, till I can examine sufficient material, shall follow 

 Dr. Verity.
