ISOTOMA VIRIDIS Bourl., var. ARCTICA Schott. 



(PI. iv, fig. 5; PI. vii, figs. 40-42.) 



Isotoma viridis, var. arctica Schott, K. sven. vet. Akad. hand., xxv, no. II, 

 p. 6i, taf. 5, fig. 4, 1894. — Schaffer, Fauna Arctica, 1, lief. 2, p. 245, 

 1900. 



The preceding description of the typical form applies equally well 

 to the variety arctica with the following modifications : arctica is 

 longer, more slender (fig. 5) and is yellow, marked with dark blue; 

 each of the last seven segments bears a dorsal deltoid mark by which 

 the variety may be recognized. Length, 7 mm. 



Three specimens, Popof Id., 1899 (no. 96). 



The two types of Schott came from Port Clarence, on the American 

 side of Bering Strait. Schaffer gives southern Russia as a second 

 locality.
