References to the original descriptions of the Paiaearctic forms of Papilionidae. 



rubidus. 



rhaeticus. 



valesiaciis. 



nivaius. 



mongolicus. 

 alpherakyi. 



The ab. d'ls Gr.-Grsli. (p. 2:S) does not belong to I'. pJiophtt^, but as melanistic aberration to noiiiton 



(p. 27) (Verity). 



From /'. apo//o geniiniis there have farther been separated: rubidus Fnilist., from the Eisacktal in 

 South Tirol. — rhaeticus Fruhst., from the Engadin (Switzerland). — valesiacus Fnihst., from the Wallis 



(Zermatt). nivatus Fruhst. from the Swiss Jura. We record these names witliout criticism merely from 



information in lift. , in order to avoid forestalling the publication . of the original descriptions (in Soc. Ent.). 



To avoid further shifting, the race from the Berner Oberland (Grindehvald) may he considered typical 



for qeminus Stich.; muntaniis Stkh. (p. 24 as ab. nioiifanu'i) is a local form from the Ortler district, coordinate 

 merzbadieri. witli the preceding forms. — We have further to expect that at the same time the name merzbacheri Fruh^l. 

 will be introduced for the apoUo-iorm from the Tianshan. The name will only be valid, if it is proposed 

 for the form from the western districts of the Tianshan; for that inhabiting the eastern districts the name 

 mongolicus Stgr. (p. 25) would eventually stand. — As var. alpherakyi Krulik. another apol/u-iorm, from 

 the Altai, has been designated, which name, at the highest, may be accepted for a specially strongly dark- 

 ened aberration of the $ of Hibiricus (p. 25), while ab. fumitjatm Km/i/c. is the same as graslini Oberth. (p. 25). 



democratns. From limicola Xlich. (= uralensis Obert/i.) may, with some doubt, be separable democratus Kndik. from 



South-Eastern Russia (Viatka, Kasan): Expanse 70 — 90 mm, upperside pure wliite, d" almost without any 

 dark dusting, submarginal band vestigial on forewing, absent from hindwing, the black spots of forewing 

 strongly developed, ocelli moderately large, strongly bordered with black, mostly with large white centre, 

 anal spots of hindwing usually strongly developed. ? only slightly dusted with blackish , lighter than in 

 aibiricus, submarginal band more or less distinct on both wings. Characters on the whole those of /iniico/a, 

 but the ?? lighter than Obekthuk's original specimen (iiralm:<iH). 



A form of P. (Uscobohin with yellow instead of red spots has received the name ab. privignata KruUk. 



As p. actius var. urumtsiensis Verittj a form has been designated which is close to nuperbns, but has 

 yellowish ground-colour, the anterior spot of the submarginal series of hindwing, moreover, being conspic- 

 uously enlarged and the ?? bearing nearly all a red basal spot on hindwing. Urumtsi, north-east of Korla. 



P. mercurius cyrnus Fruhxt. is a jaqueinontii-form from Aksu , the description of which is in press 

 (Soc. Ent.), and tatsienluica Verify is a form of doubtful relationship (the original ? having no ^louch), being 

 considered by the author to be a variety of jaqufmontii and closely related with tibetamta. Differs from the 

 latter by the marginal band of hindwing being interrupted between the veins l)y white spots, and hy the 

 anal spots being large but devoid of red. Wings more or less dusted with black, sometimes transparent. 

 The description reminds one strongly of ab. obertlmri Ausf. The foiTn, if not identical with nherfhiiri, can 

 only be kept separate as an aberration of tibciauHs. 



The literature has thus been consulted down to 1. December 1906 (Veiutv, Livr. 6).
