14 THE entomologist's RECORD. 



two latter, but smaller and with pattern much less extensive, i.e., 

 similar to those )ia)ia, Stdgr., from South Russia, which point more 

 to catapelia, Stdgr. Two more specimens from Genzano, near Rome, 

 collected in August, 1921, are intermediate, being a little larger, 

 redder, and with pattern more intensive than in the latter ; 

 they quite resemble Seitz's figure of male nana. August and 

 September are the months one would have expected the second genera- 

 tion to emerge in and the Campania data answer this prevision. Two 

 generations from April to July, as Spiiler seems to suggest, is an 

 absurdity. A bipartite emergence of the first brood is instead very 

 likely, similar to the one Querci has observed near Florence yearly in 

 iluiyma, Esp., since 1915 ; I described this phenomenon in the Ent. 

 Rec, xxxi., p. 105. For the small and ochreous second generation of 

 Central Europe I think one should revive the name of ijihvienia, Esper, 

 from " Austria," which has been neglected. I possess a very pretty 

 race of trivia collected by the Sommier-Levier expedition in the 

 Central Caucasus at the Latpari Pass, m. 2000 to 3000, on August 

 4th, 1890, together with the first Farnaasius nunimanni, Men., of the 

 nymotypical race found in Europe and now in my collection. This 

 race, to my knowledge, has not yet been recorded. It corresponds to 

 race alpina, Stdgr., of II. didi/tna. In both sexes the black markings 

 are not particularly extensive, but the female has the ground colour of 

 a yellowish white in the outer portion of the wings, and of a 

 greenish grey in the basal part ; only the anterior half of hindwing, 

 as far back as the third median nervure, is of the usual bright fulvous ; 

 it thus has a very variegated appearance, distinctly alpine. 



Brent/iis ihiji/utc, Schifi". and Denis, race tenuitermaculosa, mihi, 

 and race nikaUir, Frhst. [Internat. Ent. Zeit. Giiben, iii., p. 113 

 (Aug. 14th, 1909)] . — Friihstorfer very rightly pointed out the consider- 

 able difierences of aspect exhibited by the nymotypical race and the one 

 from South Tyrol (Klausen) and from the Valais (Martigny). The 

 characters he gives are " the lighter yellowish-brown ground colour, 

 the much smaller submarginal spots of hindwing and the notably 

 liner black markings generally, the underside colour, which is altogether 

 lighter, with eye-spots more prominent and the yellow median band 

 lighter in tone and more sharply outlined." He notes that his Valais 

 females are still more conspicuous than his finest from Klausen. 

 Turati and I in our " Fairnida Valderiensia " [Bull. Soc. Ent. Ital., 

 xlii., p. 212 (1911)] referred the race of the Baths of Valdieri in the 

 Maritime Alps to Friihstorfer's. Subsequently I found that all the 

 specimens collected by Querci in Central Italy, from Tuscany to the 

 Mainarde Mts. in Southern Latium, were quite similar to my series 

 from that locality and I used the same name for them. Last year, 

 however, I purchased an extensive series collected by the late Arno 

 Wagner at Klausen, and Querci procured me some specimens from S. 

 Fill on the Coast Range of Calabria. I then discovered that the races 

 of these two localities, although so difi'ererit and far apart, were very 

 similar to each other, but that the race which extends from the 

 Maritime Alps to the whole of Central Italy, was as different again 

 from those nikator as the latter are from nymotypical daphne, and 

 constituted a much further grade of variation in the same direction. 

 .Suffice it to say that only one male from Klausen, out of 25, resembles
