The two species marked + are only provisionally placed in the 
sections of the genus, as the female pouches are unknown. The 
varieties marked with a ? are those which do not seem from my 
present knowledge to be sufficiently well marked to be always recog- 
nizable. 
PARNASSIUS APOLLO, Linn. 
This is the best known and one of the most widely distributed 
species of the genus, and is found in almost all the mountain districts 
of Central and Southern Europe, from about 1000 up to nearly 6000 
feet in the Alps, and in many parts of Northern and Eastern Europe 
at quite low elevations ; in the Caucasus according to Wagner up to 
8000-9000 feet, in Southern Sweden and Norway, in Finland close to 
the sea-coast, in the hilly sandy pine-forests of the Lower Ural and 
Central Russia, in the higher mountains of Spain, Greece, and Asia 
Minor, and in some of the mountain-ranges of Northern Turkestan 
and the Altai, though its distribution in Asia is not yet perfectly 
known. 
In some parts of Germany it has become extinct of late years,
