EURYMUS PHILA. 

 • Colias PMcomone Phila, Fruhstorfer, Iris, ] 903, p. 47. 



One male from Kashmir, differs from about twenty males from the Alps, on account 

 of the greater range and the brownish-red, instead of black, spot at the end of the cell 

 of the forewing. The golden discal spot (or stain) of the hindwing is larger, the golden 

 sub-marginal bands unusually broad, on the other hand all the black bands are much 

 reduced.
