seen from two of my specimens of arUolycus, in one of which the posterior stripes 

 touch one another, while in the other sjiecimen the interspaces are broader than the 

 stripes. The number of the cottony stripes is also individually different : telegonus 

 has seven stripes, and mostly there is an eighth indicated upon the fourth subcostal 

 nervule; the other subspecies have six or seveu. 



(«) : P. ulysses I-., forma typ. [c?,?]. 



The black round mark within the blue area of the forewings of the female, so 

 much exaggerated in Herbst's figure (I.e.) of that sex, is not always present. A most 

 remarkable character of ^dysses-'i is the development of a huffish patch behind the 

 cell of the forewings above, composed of long, not very densely set, hairs; this hairy 

 patch is not always very conspicuous, but the hairs are constantly visible under a 

 lens; in the femnles of the other subspecies, except orsippus, this hairv mark is not 

 developed, though in one or the other individual it is indicated by a few hairs. 



The anterior part of the cell of the forewing of the ? is more or less extended 

 black ; the blue area of the hiudwings is exteriorly shaded with creamy or buflSsh 

 scales, which sometimes are almost condensed into discal lunate spots.

Smaller than P. tdysses'l.. Forewings below witli a whitish spot in tlie outer 

 half of the cell. Hindwings below with the di.scal whitish band miu li rcihiceil ; tlie 

 .submarginal spots al.^o smaller, the anterior one sinuate, with the black colour at 

 its outer edge more extended than in ulysses. 



(S . The cottony stripes, six or seven in number, are on an average narrower than 

 in ulysses, but occasionally they are broader than in certain examples of the latter. 

 The blue colour of the hindwings extends often along the subcostal and the upper 

 discoidal ncrvules, and forms subniarginal (adnervular) lines which remind one much 

 of the pattern of the hindwing of P. ulysses ieleyonun Feld. 



? . The cell of the forewings is almost entirely filled up with blue ; the hairy 

 discal patch of P. ulysses L. is wanting. On the hindwings, the subniarginal spots 

 are more inegularly arched, that at the abdominal margin is merged together with 

 the more extended blue area of the wiug.
