Lirebia scipio. 
This seems to me to be really the nearest ally of nevine 
and represents it in the Western Alps. It is probably 
only a form of it separated by a widish interval of country, 
in which so far as I know neither form occurs; and the 
females are much more distinct below than the males. 
An interesting account of its habits is given by Mr. Tutt 
in the “Proceedings of the South London Entomological 
Society ” for 1897, p. 63. 
relia pronoe. 
The species varies to some extent, but the so-called var. 
pitho, in which the bands and ocelli are less distinct or 
absent is inconstant. Frey says that typical pronoe, the 
usual form in the Austrian Alps and Tyrol, does not occur 
in Switzerland, but I have taken an example at the 
Rhone glacier in the Upper Valais which cannot be dis- 
tinguished from pronoe. I have seen no good series of 
the so-called var. pyrenaica, but do not think it is at all 
constant; and the so-called melancholica from Armenia is 
almost certainly a form of xtiiops. 
Hrebia gorgone. 
This which I previously placed as a form of gorge proves 
to be a species separable, not only by its genitalia, but 
also by the white veins of the hindwings below, from 
gorge which also occurs in the Pyrenees. 
Hrebia melanchelica. 
This which I formerly placed with doubt under pronoe 
must now I think be dropped out of the list of species 
altogether. Specimens from Lederer’s collection lent me 
by Dr. Staudinger, and probably of the same origin as 
the type, are inseparable so far as I can judge from &xthiops, 
and no fresh ones have been obtained. 
Evelia sedakovi, var. alemena. 
This was described by Grum-Grshimailo from the pro- 
vince of Amdo in Northern Tibet and has also been found
