colour. Habitat, Armeuia. It will be seen by these varieties that 
L. Bcllarijus and Corijdon are really much more intimately allied 
than appears at first sight. 
L. Marcida, Ld. Hor, 1871. — Expands abont 1 in. The 
male has the wings pale shiny bluish grey, with a narrow brown 
hind marginal border. Fore wings with a very faint discoidal 
spot. Female uniform brown, with the exception of a slight band 
of a lighter colour along the hind margins. Under side brownish 
grey ; all the wings with a hind marginal row of black spots, 
ronnded by white rings but without any orange band ; all the spots 
ocellated. Fore wings without any basal spots ; three basal spots 
on the hind wings. Habitat, Persia. (Descr. from Lederer’s fig.) 
L. Hylas var. Arrnena, Stgr. Cat. p. 12. — A variety with the 
white marginal fringe very broad, the hind wings beneath having 
the spots almost absent, 
L. IJamou var. l^oseidon, Ld. z. b. v. 1852, p. 37. — The wings 
of the male are rather darker blue than in the type. Habitat, 
valleys in Asia Alinor. 
Var. Damocles, H,-S. 214-7. — Smaller than the type. The 
male is deeper bine (nearly as blue as Eroides) and the hind margins 
are less broadly brown. Habitat, Asia Minor. 
Var. Iphegenia, H.-S. 354. — A variety rather resembling the 
last, but smaller. The spots on the under side are very small, and 
the white basal streak large and distinct. Habitat, Asia Minor. 
Var. Cannon, H.-S. 506-7.^ — In this variety the wings of the 
male are deep blue, with a well-defined dark brown border. The 
under side is pale grey. Fore wings with a discoidal spot and an 
irregular central row ; central row of hind wings even ; there is a 
faint trace of a hind marginal band, and there are two faintly 
marked white basal streaks. 
Var. Actis, H.-S. 496-9. — About the size of L. Icarus, which, 
judging from the figure of Herrich- Schaffer, it much resembles in 
the colour of the male, the hind margins having an exceedingly 
narrow brown border. Female dark brown, slightly blue at the 
base. Under side as in var. Cannon, but with a single basal streak. 
L. llopjjeri, H.-S. 512 - 14.— Expands 1-40 in. Intermediate 
l^etween L. Dohis and Damon. It is rather bluer than Dolus, and 
is hardly if at all marked with the brown basal patch that is found
