xlvii] Co a 
is much nearer the Swiss form than the Canales specimens, in 
having the third apical spot well-developed and the rust- 
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 Veoridas and Goante and differs from any Stygne 
I have ever seen. In other respects it is nearer Swiss Stygne 
than my var. hispana, being of smaller size and less strongly 
and brightly spotted. Each specimen taken alone is not so 
different from Mid-Kuropean 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 otheras the same species areat Canales, This 
seems to bea purely Spanish feature of these species, since 
Swiss examples do not resemble each other and rarely occur 
together. As regards Lvias, the breadth of the band at 
costa igs 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. bejarensis of 
Stygne, otherwise so different, is very close to it in this respect. 
“T have placed for comparison with them, (1) an average 
Swiss specimen of each, (2) the nearest to them that I can 
select from the Canales specimens, and (3) average 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 Hvias) 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.
