Argynnis Adippe and A. Niohe. — I am rather surprised 

 that Mr. Butler should consider Argyunis Adippe and A. 

 Niobe to be varieties of one species. I believe they are as 

 distinct as any two species of the genus. The larva?, according 

 to Hlibner, are different; and Niobe is a sub-alpine species 

 on the Continent: the upper sides of the perfect insects are 

 very dissimilar in colour, especially in the females; and this 

 difference is constant in all the varieties. The female Adippe 

 is a bright greenish orange, and this colour extends to the 

 base of the wings; the female Niobe is dull fulvous, and the 

 base of the wings is very dark fuscous, almost black ; and the 

 basal half of the wing is often suff'used with this colour, 

 which is never the case in Adippe ; in fact Niobe is almost 

 exactly like Aglaia on the upper side, but the under side is 

 very different. A variety of Adippe without any silvery spots 

 on th*e under side is not uncommon on the Continent, and 

 Mr. Bond ])osscsses a specimen which was captured in 

 Hampshire: it is the Cleodoxa of Ochsenheimcr : it is very
