360 M. A. Avinoff on some new forms of Parnassius. 



ocelli of the hiiidwing are enlarged inwardly, and the blue 

 scaling is reduced. On account of the narrowness of the 

 marginal hyaline band the white interspaces between 

 the latter and the ocelli are quite distinct. 



The two usual Parnassius ocelli are of a very pale slightly 

 orange tint, and scarcely differ in colour from the ground 

 of the whole surface. The basal part of the wing is ex- 

 tremely dark, which is never the case with the true loxias. 



Parnassius epaphus, Boisd., subsp. phariensis, nov. 

 (PlateLlV,fig.8,c^; 9,?.) 



Close to P. epaphus subsp. sikJcimensis, Elwes, from 

 which it differs by the excessive development of all the 

 dark markings. The red filling of the ocelli on both pairs 

 of wings is very distinct. The red ocelli of the hindwing 

 are usually joined by a dark bar. 



This dark form of epajihas inhabits Phari-Zong in 

 Southern Thibet.
