N.B. — At the end of the catalogue will be found notes on 

 the differences between this species and doryca, Boisd. From 

 a comparison of my named specimen of this species with Van 

 der Wulp's description and plate of satyrus, F., the two appear 

 very closely allied, and I should not be surprised if they prove 

 identical.

N.B. — The single example I have seen of this species agrees 

 exactly with Doleschall's plate {ventrimacula , v. supra). It is 

 quite distinct from the two following species by the brown colour 

 of the wing being very narrow along the costa, leaving most of 

 the marginal cell clear, whilst a brown streak extends along the 

 3rd longitudinal vein, thinly filling the upper basal cell and leaving 

 the discal cell wholly clear. Doleschall says it is 6 lines in length ; 

 my specimen is 16 mm., but most of the species vary considerably 

 in size. I have accepted the synonymy as given by Van der 

 Wulp, which seems to prove it a very variable species, as Walker's 

 two descriptions of his " pelops " {cf and 9 ), Jaennicke's leuconce, 

 and Macquart's plate of his audouini show important points of 

 difference. It therefore appears advisable to append a description 

 of the specimen I possess, named (by what authority, I have no 

 means of knowing) as doryca. As noted by Osten Sacken, this 

 species and the two next are closely allied, but I think the 

 brown colour in the wing not encroaching to the slightest extent 

 on the discal cell, will separate doryca from the other two, whilst 

 they may be divided by the yellow-haired belly in flaviventris, and 

 the white-haired one in cenomaus. 



I append at the end of the catalogue a redescription of 

 this species.
