c??. Sides of thora.x not essentially ])aler tlian middle; liindwing very rarely 

 with a transjiarent streak in abdominal liordcr ; bar at end of eel! of forewing lieavy. 

 Tiie belt of tlie abdomen is generally reddish, but oceasionally black : intergradations 

 oecnr frequently. The suggestion put forward by Bartel— who has named the 

 lilaek-belted specimens heynei, I.e. — tliat we have here to do with a hybrid between 

 fiifijorniitt and tifi/u.'s (= bumbyliformi.^) has no foundation ; there would be more 

 justification iu calling this //. furif. fncif. f. hei/nei, a transition to H. fnciformis 

 iiflii'ix, IMarginal band of both wings ordinarily simple, but not rarely dentate : the 

 dentition never so strong as in ajfini.'i f. alternatd. Such dentate individuals were 

 considered distinct by Treitschkc, who named tliem mi/cs/Jorm/.s : the abdominal 

 belt of this //. fueif. J'ltcif. f. milesiformi.'i is occasionally black. 



Central Asiatic specimens are not larger than European ones on an average ; 

 " var. rohasta " has no standing. 



Ilab. Europe (excejit the far nnrtii), North Africa, eastward to the Altai and 

 N.AV. India. 



In the Tring Museum 3 larvae, 1 pupa, oil-odd specimens from various places iu 

 Europe; vi 6 S , I ? from Issykkul and Alexander ."Mts. 



The N.W. Indian specimens may possijjly represent a fourth subspecies. But the 

 two oidy individuals known (in the Brit. Mus.) are too scanty a material to decide 

 this point, since the differences from fxc. fnciformis, if there are any, are certainly 

 only slight. The forewing seems to be a little narrower than in European 

 J%(£iformi.'<.
