side almost as in Pheretes (H.-S.) Seems to be intermediate 
between Pheretes and Orhitulus. Habitat, Eastern Siberia. 
L. Orhitulus var. Wosneseuskii, Men. En. ii. p. 95. 
L. Isaurica, Stgr. Beii. e. z. 1870, p. 327. — A small species, 
somewhat resembling L. Eros, but somewhat more emerald-green. 
A broad black border extends along three-fourths of the hind 
margins, the hind wings having hind marginal black spots. Tlie 
under side is more distinctly marked than in Eros, and of a brown 
tint in the ground-colour. Habitat, Southern districts of Asia 
Minor. 
L. Eros V. Myrrha, H.-S. 508-11.- — Somewhat like Hro/c^es, 
but much larger and paler in colour ; the spots on the under side 
being proportionately smaller. Expands nearly 1-50 in. The 
female pale brown, with faint hind marginal bands. Habitat, Asia 
Minor. 
Var. Candalus, H.-S. 502-5. — Expands 0’75 to I’lO in. 
Fringes white. Male blue, about the same colour as Icarus, with 
a very narrow but well-defined blackish-brown hind marginal 
border. Hind wings with a row of black dots. Female dark 
brown, with a row of small orange sj^ots on the hind wings and 
with the bases of all the wings faintly blue. Under side as in Eros, 
but with two basal spots. Habitat, mountains in Syria and Asia 
Minor. Staudinger catalogues this as a variety of L. Eros, but it 
certainly appears to be a distinct species. 
L. Icarus var. Persica, Bienart. — Has the spots on the under 
side very small or absent. Habitat, Persia. 
L. Bellargus var. Polona, Z. Stett. e. z. 1845 ; H.-S. 432-3. — 
About the size of L. Corijclon, which it greatly resembles in general 
appearance, having rather broad black hind margins and a row of 
spots on the hind wings. In colour, however, it resembles the 
typical form of Bellargus. The under side also is the same as in 
the type. Habitat, mountains in Asia Minor. 
L. Corydon var. Corydonius, H.-S. 595-6 ; Olympica, Ld. z. b. 
V. 1852. — In this variety the wings are deep blue, and not pale as 
in the typical form, which in other respects it resembles. Habitat, 
mountains in Asia Minor. 
Var. Caucasica, Ld. Ann. Soc. Belg. xiii. 23.— This form is 
very similar to the last, being rather smaller, but nearly the same
