(a) : P. machaou 1.., forma tyj). [<J,?, metain.]. 



It is possible that I have missed some varietal names of P. machaon, as a good 

 number of local lists contained in programmes of German high schools were not 

 accessible to me. 



(a-) : ab. marginalis Eobbe. 

 Papilio machaon var. marginalis Robbe, C. R. Soc. Enl. Belg. p. 395 (1891) (Belgium). 



Black bands of the wings mnch reduced. PVinge to the outer margin of the 

 forewings not black at the ends of the veins ; submarginal spots of the same wings 

 oblong, not lunate ; outer margin of the hindwings not dentate. Underside of both 

 wings ])aler yellow than in typical P. 'iiKtchaon. 



Certainly not confined to Belgium. 



(b-) : ah. nigrofasciatas Kothke. 



Papilio machaon L. ab. n. niijro/asciaht Rothke, Stetl. Ent. Zeil. LV. p. 303 (1895) (Crefeld). 

 Papilio machann ab. nigrofasciaia, Heyne, in Riihl, Grossschmelt. p. 694 (1895). 



The submarginal yellow spots on the upperside of the wings very much reduced ; 

 anal ocellus half blue, half black, the red portion reduced to a minute linear spot at 

 the anal angle. 



This curious form is probably not confined to the surroundings of Crefeld. 



(c^) : ab. niger Heyne (Eeuter in manuscr.). 

 Papilio machaon ab. nign- Heyne, in Rvihl, Grosasclimelt. p. 694 (1895) (Baden). 

 All black, except the blue spots of the hindwings.

L'pperside of the wings of a deeper yellow colour than in the fir.st brood ; the 

 black bauds narrower, abdominal mai-gin to the hindwings often more or less devoid 

 of black ; abdomen (chiefly in the female) with the dorsal black band more or less 

 obliterated. 



The summer brood is neither in every year nor in every locality different from 

 the spring brood. Mostly the number of specimens of the second lii'ood exhibiting 

 the characters of ab. aurantlacun is small in Cential Kurope. 



lldb. Kurope, except Kngland and the nortli and the extreme south (7 J, 7 j). 

 In Asia Minor, Transcaucasia, Central Asia, and Soutli ]'"urope some specimens belong 

 to sphynw, others to typical machaon.
