arc especially dark on tlic liiiul-winp,s, and there is an 

 absence of the tawny shade in the disc of all the wings. 

 The lighter markings are not of the ivory yellow of the 

 type nor of that of the bright Spanish race, but have a 

 reddish suffusion. In the hind-wings this reddish shade 

 is restricted to a series of subniarginal wedges of moderate 

 size, somewhat more pi'ononnced in the males, which have 

 also some lighter shade in the ground, geuerally, a character 

 hardly apparent in the females. The eye-s])ots are almost 

 invariably white pupilled, well formed and in the normal 

 number, only one example approaches ab. triocellata 

 Ragusa, with an unpn])ined spot between the two normal 

 eye-spots on the fore-wing. 



On the underside of the fore-wing the ground-coloiir is 

 a rich tawny, not in any example the ivory yellow of the 

 type; there is but little (hirk separation between the 

 discal and submarginal areas, these being practically con- 

 tinuous as in the form algirica Obthr. On the underside 

 of the hind-wing there is a predominance of gray mottling, 

 and scarcely a specimen shows the taw]iy or black shade 

 markings of the British race. In the female the basal 

 and submarginal areas arc almost tlie same in depth of 

 marking and marbling, but more or less divided by a 

 blackish line, none too well emphasised. The mottling 

 is very uniform over the wing, l)ut coarse. None of the 

 males have the strong tooth in the central line which is so 

 prominent a character in the females. Most of the males 

 have the basal and submarginal areas clearly separated 

 by a light transverse band outside the blackish transverse 

 line, which band shades off gradually into the gray mottling 

 of the outer marginal area. In this respect one female 

 only approaches the male.

" I found this species common on the southern range 

 up to its highest altitudes."— J.A.8.B., 1916. (Not 

 recorded by Led.) 



" Fairly connnon on the Tnxklos range of mountains, 

 May-July. I have taken a very few specimens on the 

 northern range. Difficult to take as it is always among 

 large rocks."— G.F.W., 1918. 



A long series shows but small variation. One inale and . 

 one female have an additional black spot o)i the fore-wing 

 below the fourth from the apex. Another feniale has a
