the apex of the fore wings, upper and under side, and a series of five on 

 the under side of hind wing, represented above by two. Most speci- 

 mens are intermediate between these two. I also took several which 

 are very strongly marked, so as to be quite distinct from any of the 

 above, and which appear to be identical to the var. spodea of the 

 Austrian and Styriau Alps. The best of these has, fore wing above 

 and below, two well-marked apical spots, and another lower down. 

 Hind wing (upper side) has a series of six, and underneath seven well- 

 marked ocelli, all pupilled white.
