colour but very slightly yellow, and is rather larger than the 

 average of specimens from Canales. It is of the Hispanica 

 form in having the rusty band broad towards the costa, and is 

 sui generis in the band having its internal border very straight. 

 No Canales specimen quite approaches it in this respect. No 

 Canales specimen is quite as Swiss as this one in the develop- 

 ment of the third spot. 



" The straight internal border of the rusty band is as marked 

 in the specimen of Stygne, and is here a much more remarkable 

 and unusual variation. It resembles to an extreme degree on 

 the upper-side Neoridas and Goante and differs from any Stygne 

 I have ever seen. In other respects it is neai-er Swiss Stygne 

 than my var. liispana, being of smaller size and less strongly 

 and brightly spotted. Each specimen taken alone is not so 

 different from Mid-European forms as the Canales specimens, 

 they differ in the same way and add the special feature of the 

 straight inner border to the red band ; and are thus quite as 

 much like each other as the same species are at Canales. This 

 seems to be a purely Spanish feature of these species, since 

 Swiss examples do not resemble each other and rarely occur 

 t9gether. As regards Evias, the breadth of the band at 

 costa is one character of var. hispanica, but I think the 

 straightness of its inner margin is special and neither char- 

 acter has ever been noted in Stygne. The var. hejarensis of 

 Stygne, otherwise so different, is very close to it in this respect. 



"I have placed for comparison with them, (1) an avei'age 

 Swiss specimen of each, (2) the nearest to them that I can 

 select from the Canales specimens, and (3) avei'age Canales 

 specimens of both species. 



" As these specimens are both males, comparison of the 

 females is not possible, but I put in also a Canales female of 

 Evias, and three females of Stygne, a Swiss, a Canales and a 

 Bejar specimen, to show how the latter (which is not associated 

 with Evias) goes right away from the other forms male or 

 female, but in the direction in which the others leave the 

 Swiss form, viz. in greater size, brighter colour and larger 

 markings. 



"I put also a Goante $iov comparison with the Stygne, with 

 which it is almost identical on the upper side.
