54. Z. orlitulus, Prun. 



Also common at higli elevations and not different from 

 the European form, though, again, Staudingcr describes 

 tliose from Kentei, under the name of orhitulinus, as 

 much larger. As, however, he only had one fresh specimen, 

 I think this name is somewhat premature. 



55. L. astrarche, Bgstr. 



I only took one specimen of this in the Bashkaus at 

 5000 feet. This is of the normal form, but Jacobson sent 

 five from Ongodai all belonging to the variety nJlous, 

 Hubu., which seems to be the prevalent form in Mongolia 

 and at Irkut. 



56. Z. cros, O. 



I found this in the Tchuja and Bashkaus Valleys at 

 about 5000 feet, but got no females. The shade of blue 

 is, perhaps, as in those from Keuderlik collected by Kuck- 

 beil, of a slightly greyer tinge than in Europe, but not 

 as in the variety erotides, described by Staudinger, from 

 Kentei. One of my specimens and one from Kenderlik 

 show a slight dark mark on the centre of fore-wing above, 

 as in the var. stigmatifera, Stgr. (MSS.), from Kuruk-tagh. 



57. Z. icarus, Rett. 



Apparently rare, as I only took two males, one at Biisk 

 and one in the Tchuja Valley. It is not recorded by 

 Kindermann, or from Kentei by Staudinger. 



58. Z. eiunedon, Esp. 



Common in the Bashkaus and at Ongodai in July, 

 but none of the variety fylgia, Spiingberg, which is the 

 prevalent form, and not an aberration in Kamtschatka, 

 and is not uncommon in Kentei and elsewhere. 



59. Z. amanda, Schn. 



Taken at Kuyuktana, at Ongodai, and in the Bashkaus, 

 in the latter half of July. Does not differ from European 

 specimens except, perhaps, in being smaller. 



60. Z. admetios, var. rippertii, Frr. 



A single male of this species was taken by Jacobson at 

 Ongodai on Jidy 20th, and I took another in the Bashkaus. 

 I find no previous record of its occurrence in this part of 

 Asia.
