98 EREBIA. By G. Elffingek. 



which may even be absent. Occurs singly among the name-typical form, especially at higher altitudes. — 

 fasciata. The form fasciata Spuh, from Carinthia, has a specially dark ground-colour; the band reddish orange in 

 the cf, yellowish orange in the ?, broader, on the hindwing more extended, with lighter spots as remnants 

 of the ocelli. 



kindermanni. E. kindermanni Sfgr. (36 e). Somewhat smaller than maurisius, but closely allied to the same. The 



brown macular band rather broad, the cell distally brown; in the S the whole central area as far as the 

 band with a brown tint. The hindwing has 5 — 6 russet-brown spots, which ai-e ovate in the d' and a little 

 smaller and rounded in the ?. On the underside the central area of the forewing is brown, the macular 

 band being somewhat broader than above but less prominent. The two marginal spots in cellules 4 and 5 

 of the forewing and the three in cellules 2 — 4- of the hindwing have in the centre a very smaU black dot 

 oidy in the ?. — From the Altai. 



pawlowskyi. E. pawlowskyi 3/i"'«. (= herzi Christ.). Shape and size as in phtirfc, to which it bears a close 



resemblance. The distal band of the forewing consists of a series of separated russet-brown spots, usually 

 5 — 7, the two uppermost being somewhat broader than the posterior ones, which moreover are more rounded. 

 On the hindwing, parallel to the distal margin, there is a row of 5 ferruginous brown spots, which are not 

 rounded as in phurtc, but elongate. The brown transverse J)and of the upjierside is very variable, being 

 sometimes of greater and sometimes of lesser width, or being even so much reduced as to be represented 

 but by some brown dots. The underside is bright brown (of the same tint as in iminto Esp), the forewing 

 having centrally a russet-yellow tint. The spots are lighter, jjeing more brownish yellow and more prominent 

 than above. The hindwing is beneath but little darker and bears 5 — 7 russet-yellow ovate spots. The ? is 

 lighter above, being more greyish brown, the spots are larger and of a brownish 3'ellow colour. Underside 

 greyish ])rown, the spots of the forewing brownish yellow, those of the hindwing ochre-yellow. At the apex 

 of the cell there is an obsolescent j'ellow patch , which also appears occasionallj^ in the cf . North-East 

 sajana. Siberia, in June and July, locally abundant. — sajana N/'/r. (36 e) is somewhat larger than the first described 

 form, differing otherwise but little. The brown spots vaiy in number and colour, which however is also 

 the case in the name-typical form of puaioirskiii. Occurs in the mountains of Eastern Mongolia. 



hiibcrhcuwri. E. haberhaueri >^t(jt: (36 e). The Idack-brown wings have before the distal margin a russet-brown 



Ijand which is separated by the veins into a number of spots, usually 6. The cell of the forewing shaded 

 with brown. The spots of the hindwing rounded, those of the forewing somewhat elongate. On the under- 

 side the forewing is centrally russet-brown, the fore and distal margins being dark brown. The macular 

 band is distinct in the o^, while it is but feeldy marked in the ?, partly disappearing in the ferruginous 

 brown central area. The hindwing beneath is dark, with 5 — 6 small yellowish dots before the distal margin, 

 the dots sometimes being each bordered proximalh' by a very small narrow ferruginous ])rown dash. The 

 elwesi. yellowish dots are smaller in the ? than in the o'^. Tarbagatai. — In elwesi Stijr. (= maurisius >S'(/r.j (36 e), 

 from the Altai, the macular band is much wider on both wings and brighter i)ro^\^l, the cell of the forewing 

 is brown, and there is an obsolescent russet-brown [)atch below the sulicostal veui. The forewing lieneath 

 ferruginous brown, fore and distal margins dark l)rown, the brownish yellow distal band distinctly contrasting 

 with the ground-colour. The spots of the hindwing somewhat smaller and lighter than aliove. 



iiinnrisius. E. maurisius Esp. (36 e). The reddish In-own band of the forewing is separated by the veins into 



a numlier of elongate spots — usually 6; the cell is more or less tiUed in with ferruginous brown, and 

 behind the cross-vein there are "2 somewhat diffuse narrow streaks, which extend towards the distal l«\nd, 

 in which they disappear. The hindwing has 6 round russet-yellow spots. On the underside the band of 

 the forewing is lighter, and the space between the band and the darkened base is russet-brown; inner and 

 distal margins blackish in-own. The hindwing dark brown in the cf, with very small, point-like, russet- 

 yellow spots. In the ? the hindwing is grey-brown beneath, being tinel}' dusted with greyish yellow, the 

 ochre-yellow dots at the distal margin are prolonged to small stripes. In the cell there is a whitish yellow 

 diffuse spot on the upperside. The fringes grey-brown in the cf, whitish gre}' in the ?. Antenna finely 

 ringed, the club white on the inside, idack-brown on the outside. ]\Iiddle of July, on the Altai, from 2000 

 tlicano. to 2700 m, on grassy slopes. — The form theano Tausch. (= stubbendorfii Mrn.) (36 f) is much brighter 

 in 2)attern than nninrisiKS ; the spots of the distal band are lai-ger and not russet-brown but yellow. The 

 two upper and the two lower spots are of the same width, while the other two are especially long, extending 

 towards the cell. The forewing has a yellow discal spot on both surfaces more or less filling up the cell, 

 below the same a small yellowish spot , which is often onlj^ indicated by 3'ellowish dusting. The band of 

 the hindwing consists of 6 rounded or quadrangular yellow spots, there being an additional, smaller, spot 

 in the cell. The underside somewhat fighter, the spots forming the bands arranged as al)ove. liut those on 

 the hmdwing large and bright bone-yellow; there are also a number of elongate spots, which \ary in size 

 and shape, near the base of the liindwing. Fringes chequered with dark brown and grey. 



ttiranica. E. turanica Ersch. (36f). Very variable in size and pattern. The upperside of the wings deep 



dark brown. There is a row of 5 oclu-e-yellow spots at the (fistal margin of the forewing, varying in size,
