(i -cexlix’.) 
in pattern than in the case of the two species I have already de- 
scribed, and have more modified serrations, which are less deep 
and not more than four in number. The “ blasenschuppen ” 
are heavier in build than those described, being subovate 
with the apex rather flattened, they have eleven rows of 
broad deep reticulations, the attachment peduncle is of only 
moderate length. In the secondaries the base of the wing 
has a large number of brown bell-shaped scales with the 
excised attachment cleft very narrow and nearly perpen- 
dicular, the stalk itself being short and stout; the apex is 
dentated but the dentations are irregular both in number and 
pattern, these extend along the veins and slightly over the 
cell and the fold, as also into the costal area to about the end 
of the cell, whereabouts they appear to cease. The costal 
cable is composed of scales of three sizes and patterns, the 
largest being quite twice the length of the shortest, it is long 
and very broad, slightly curved, with the apex scalloped, 
the second is straighter, similar to the previous one but a 
third less in width, whilst the third is about half the length 
of the first, very broad, slightly tapering to the apex which 
is sometimes evenly hollowed and sometimes trifid, the 
subcostal areas are clothed with scales similar to these two 
latter. In the cell and on the fold the brown scales are 
present in some numbers and are superimposed over the blue, 
the latter being broad, moderately even in width, with quadri- 
dentate apices, though this last point is by no means universal, 
though general; the brown ones, in addition to a few of the 
bell-shaped pattern, are smaller than the blue, of moderate 
width, shortish, with the apex generally quadridentate but 
of irregular dentation. Those in the radial and postmedian 
areas are also of two patterns, viz. a subhyaline and a brown 
scale, both seem to be of the same shape and pattern, smaller 
than the blue scale in the cell; they are of moderate width 
and length, not tapering, with irregularly dentate apices, the 
“blasenschuppen ” are well distributed over the whole wing 
even almost up to the termen. 
In Scolitantides baton the ordinary blue scales are almost 
the same throughout all the areas of the wing, approaching 
somewhat nearly the brown species of the Plebeid group.
