ISOTOMA VIRIDIS Bourl., var. ARCTICA Schott. 



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



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

 p. 61, taf. 5, fig. 4, 1894. SCHAFFER, Fauna Arctica, I, 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.
