122 THE entomologist's record. 



similar to the African race, which produces the extreme form latevit- 

 tata, Vrty.; Eiihl's name must not in consequence be used for forms of 

 australis with a wide margin, such as those of Central Italy, and a 

 new name is necessary for the latter ; I propose the name latenigrata, 

 taking as types specimens in which the black extends inwards beyond 

 the black spots of the ocelli ; such examples are, however, rare, and the 

 name must of course be used for all local races with a wide black 

 margin which produce the extreme form occasionally. Another race 

 of the group hjllas worthy of particular notice is the magnificent giant 

 one of Sicily, with an expanse of 24-26mm. in the male and of 

 25-35mm. in the female : race gigas ; typical series from Palermo.

N.B. — The localities of the five races last mentioned are those of 



" types," but they probably intermingle in these regions, providing 



local races in all of them.
