This is merely a smaller and paler form of C. fossil, but must 

 be distinguished as a subspecies. There are, however, many inter- 

 mediate specimens, and therefore it cannot be regarded as a good 

 species. All the markings of the upper surface are less bold and 

 less brilliant. In the somewhat sandy colour of the upper parts 

 this form reminds one somewhat of C. nvbicus, Licht.
