fulvous coloration of the more general form of iphis at 

 Lautaret. The undersides have, without exception, the 

 characteristic white band on the underside of the hindwings. 

 Of course I am quite aware that a specimen without this 

 band would be' referred by continental entomologists 

 elsewhere than to this species {mt)jrion). 



" It may be well to compare Berce's description of C. iphis 

 with that of C. satyrion, which he calls philea. These are to 

 be found on pp. 218 and 219, and read as follows : 



"Iphis. Wings of a clear brown, " PhiJea {= satyriim). Wingsof 



the superior having the disc tinted a clear brown, the superior having 



with tawny, without an apical ocell- the disc tinted with tawny, without 



ated spot. The inferior wings an apical ocellated spot. The inferior 



having often a short yellow line at wings with a yellow mark at the 



anal angle. The underside of the supe- anal angle. The underside of the 



rior wings tawny, with the apex and superior wings tawny _with_ the apex 



marginal border yellowish-grey. The greenish-grey. The inferior wings 



inferior wings beneath of the same beneath of the same colour (greenish- 



colour (yellowish-grey) wiih the grey), sometimes tinted with tawny, 



median line,indicated by two irregu'ar up to the median band. Then a 



whitish spots, followed by a series of jellowish-white band, broad and 



four to six ocellated spots circled conspicuous, containing six ocellated 



with grey-white. spots. The outer margin reddish 



" $. With the superior wings tawny, traversed by a leaden line, 



tawny and the inferior wings grey- " $ ■ VVith the superior wings 



brown, with an ante-marginal yellow tawny, bordered with grey-brown, 



line. The inferior wings grey-brown with 



an ante-marginal yellow line. 



" In conclusion, it may be well to remark that one of the 

 localities for C. iphis, mentioned by Berce, is Lautaret. 

 There can be, therefore, no doubt but that my material agrees 

 with that in the hands of continental entomologists. The 

 exact similarity, in all essential points, of the above descriptions 

 with the exception of the pale band present on the underside 

 of sati/rion and absent on the underside of iphis, is remarkable, 

 and shows that, with the exception of this single unstable 

 character, there is nothing, even in the continental descrip- 

 tions of iphis and sati/rion, to separate them."
