4-6; Blip. i. 10, 1, 2. Slightly smaller than the typical form, 
and with a white basal streak on the under side of the hind wiDgs.

distinguished by the presence of a faint hind-marginal double row 
of spots, and by the greater distinctness of the liasal streak.

Bulgaria, Greece, and Asia Minor.

wings are clothed with dark brown scales, as in the last species. 
The female is dark brown, much resembling the var. Ripartii of
