Lepidoptcra of the Altai Mountains. 327 



61. L. damon, Schifif. 



Common on the banks of the Bashkaus river on July 

 26th, also at Ongodai, and does not differ from European 

 specimens. 



62. L. damone, Eversm., var. altaica, var. nov. 



Taken at higher elevations than the former; 5000 — 6000 

 feet in the Tchuja and Bashkaus Valleys, and common at 

 Ongodai. This is not the true damone, Eversm., which 

 I have from Guberli in the Ural and from Armenia. 

 Both sexes have the base of the hind-wings strongly 

 suffused with greenish. Neither of my two pairs from 

 the Ural show this, nor do those from Ordubad, but 

 some from Saisan in coll. Stgr. are the same as altaica. 

 The species is quite distinct from damon, and also from 

 its var. juldmisa, Stgr., which has this green shade at 

 the base of the hind-wing, but a much broader dark 

 border on both wings than damo7i. Actis shows this basal 

 colour also, but is of a quite different blue above. 



63. L. donzelii, B. 



I got a single female in the Bashkaus at 4000 feet on 

 July 28th, and Jacobson sent me a series from Ongodai. 

 These do not differ from European specimens. 



64. L. argiolus, L. 



I did not take this in the Altai myself, but Kindermann 

 records it. 



65. Z. sehrus, B. 



A single specimen in the Tchuja Valley on June 18th. 

 It has not hitherto been recorded, as far as I know, so 

 far east. 



66. Z. minima, Fuessl. 



A single specimen in the Tchuja Valley on June 20th. 



67. Z. lycormas, Butl. = scylla, Stgr. 



Two males from the foot-hills of the Altai near Altaisk, 

 at about 2000 feet on June 7th, were all that I saw. I 

 mistook them for semiargus at the time, or would have waited 

 longer at the place. Though slightly paler in tint above 

 they agree with scylla from Irkut, the Amur, and with
