(2) intermedia 2yGrsica Bartenef ( $ usually with the wings hyaline 

 or at most slightly tinged with brownish),

 3 2 ?, 1 ix.l8, Suleimanyeh, Kurdistan. 



1 2 from the latter localit}^, with apex o£ wings opaque from 4 or 5 

 cells beyond the nodus, may be regarded as an aberration. The other 

 examples, except in their being smaller, might be referred equally well 

 to the following form. 



intermedia Cecilia Bartenef. Two J c? received from Bartenef 

 (Signakh, Caucasus) are very similar to the above. They differ slightly 

 infer se in the same wa}^ as above mentioned in the extent of the opaque 

 colour. The wings of the $ , according to Bartenef's figure, appear to be 

 entirely hj^aline. 



It may be of interest to refer to some of the other named forms. 



mingrelica Selys, who states that the teruiinal opaque part of the 

 wings of the 6 commences 8 to 12 cellules beyond the nodus; in one 

 the terminal margin very lightly hyaline. In two examples received 

 from Bartenef, in my collection, the opaque colour begins G cellules or so 

 beyond the nodus in the fore wings. The female is figured by Bartenef 

 as with entirely hyaline wings. 



amasina Bartenef is represented in my collection by a long series. 

 In the majority of the examples the dark colour begins just at the nodus 

 or a cell or two beyond, and the extreme apex is very narrowly hyaline, 

 rather more in two or three examples which are not so fully mature, and 

 which are very similar to the ordinary northern form. In one of the 

 latter, however, the dark colour begins about 11 cellules beyond the nodus 

 — in this respect coming near mingrelica, but the apex is hyaline. 



In all of the above forms the network of the wing venation is 

 closer than in the following, in which the opaque apex of the wings in 

 the male begins considerably beyond the nodus. 



orientalis Selys : 5 with apex of wings opaque. 



transcaspica Bartenef : $ with Avings entirely hj'aline. 



syriaca Selys : $ with apex of inferior wings only opaque. In 

 some females the wings are practically all hyaline, only slightly tinted 

 with brownish at the apex, but these latter may not be fully mature. 



syriaca hyalina Martin, which I have not seen, appears to have 

 the wings hyaline in both sexes, in this respect resembling the Algerian 

 ex III.
