white. The figures {Entomologist, I884; plate 1, figs. 6 and 7) 

 are very characteristic for the forms. I could not compare the 

 little form No. 5. Specimens from Labrador and Iceland, which 

 I received from Dr. Staudinger, are very different from these forms. 

 From the great inclination to vary, which this form possesses, it 

 would be useless to state the differences of the few specimens. 

 My statement in regard to the appearance of Maillardii in the 

 Upper Harz is founded upon a somewhat rubbed example, which 

 Mr. Muhlenpfordt caught there, and which may be referred to this 

 form with considerable certainty, but which perhaps belongs to 

 Zeta-Pcmix. Exiriis flies in the Shetland Islands about the end of 

 July.
