E. chloridice Hbn. (Vol. 1, plate 20 f). A small race alpina Vrty. flies in the heights of Ladak. It has 
reduced markings and pale olive coloured underside which is richly powdered with black. The renaming proposed 
by Verity of albidice Stgr. to jlavopicta is unnecessary. 
E. belemia Esp. (Vol. 1, plate 22 a). The spring form of distincta Rob. from Guelt-es-Stel in South 
Algeria is separated by Rothschild as f. vern. roberi ab. It is smaller with less extensive bands on the underside 
of the hindwings. — subsp. hesperidum Rothsch. from the Canary Islands has deep orange coloured costa and 
the apex of the forewings is extensively coloured yellow on the underside. - f. intermedia Oberth. from Spain, 
Portugal and Algeria is a nomen nudum. 
E. falloui Allard (Vol. 1, p. 52). f. lucida Shelj. from Biskra is a C with pale underside and with yellowish- 
green bands. Presumably it belongs to a second generation. — A spring generation flying in Algeria is called 
obsolescens Rothscli. and varies from the summer form only by its more clearly separated green bands. 
E. belia Cr. (Vol. 1, p. 52). To the first generation belong: ab. decolorata Catherine , it has all black 
markings bleached to a delicate grey. On the underside the apical spot of the fore wings is yellowish, the 
hindwings are pale olive green, scarcely powdered with black. — praecox Costantini from Emilia in Italy is a 
small form with more sharply angulated wing contour and increased black markings. Bands incline to be 
formed on the underside of the hindwings. — ab. philippsi Rudolph from Dalmatia has the apical mark of the 
forewings extending down to the discoidal cell. This is powdered with black towards the base just as the middle 
cell of the hindwings. — The following varieties of ausonia Hbn. have still been described: ^-ab. sulphurea 
Vrty. with pale sidphur yellow colouration of the surface of the wings. — ^-ab. albescens Vrty. has the black 
apical mark of the forewings almost extinct and only perceptible by quite faint indistinct grey-brown shadows. 
- d'-ab. pulveruienta Vrty. is yellowish olive green on the underside of the hindwings with small conjoined 
white spots on the outer njargin and very many small distributed white spots on the surface of the wings. - 
ab. deleta Vrty. is a C and shows no green on the underside, only the veins are surrounded with yellow-green. 
All these forms emanate from the Basses-Alpes. — Under subsp. simplonia Err . are ranged: ab. aurantiaca Vrty. 
with yellowish ochre coloured upperside and oberthuri Vrty. from Gedre in the high Pyrenees. The latter is 
larger than simplonia and the discoidal spot of the $ is more prominent. On the underside the markings are 
strongly reduced, in the $ a bright green tone is introduced such as never occurs in specimens from the alps. 
$$ with very diffuse and more grey-black markings are called grisescens Vrty. — A beautiful strongly melanic 
aberration of the $ is rondoui Oberth. from the high Pyrenees in which all the wings on the upperside and the 
hindwings on the underside are completely covered with black. flavidior Wheeler occurs in the Rhone Valley, 
it has paler yellow veins on the underside which is yellow-green and the upperside of all wings is shaded 
yellowish. Similar is tieina Vorbr .: the underside of the hindwings has pronouncedly yellow veins, the white 
spots are reduced and the dark dusting more heavy. On the upperside the discoidal spot of the forewings is 
small and not conjoined with the costa. — A small race of simplonia flies in the Alai which reminds one 
strongly of pulverata Christ, on the underside of the hindwings: alaica Vrty. — emiorientalis Vrty. from 
Altai is a transition form between simplonia and orientahs. — Stauder has described a number of minute 
variations of romana Calb. from the Aspromonte region. Although these are scarcely deserving of a denomination 
they are mentioned here. ab. alboapicata with grey-white apex, brunneoapicata with brown apex of the forewings. 
.— centripeta with punctiform median spot of the forewings widely separated from the costa and in immaculata 
it is entirely absent. caudatula from Sorrent is ,said to have slight indications of tails to the hindwings. - 
cJ-ab. damoneides Std. has the otherwise white spots on the underside of the hindwings filled with yellow. - 
graeca Vrty. is a rather small form flying in Greece. It differs only by the distribution of brown scales in the 
green of the underside of the hindwings. — - A counterpart is a very large form which only differs on this account 
being up to 42 mm wing expanse: maxima Vrty. It flies in Crimea and also in parts of Greece. — romanoides 
Vrty. from Tuscany is also of considerable size. The black markings are profusely interspersed with white 
scales and thereby appear to be grey. The discoidal spot is frequently curve-shaped like an S. The underside 
of the hindwings is so richly interspersed with yellow scales that the green is almost completely suppressed. 
Verity has separated the form flying in the north of Italy, the south of France and the Iberian Peninsular 
as occidentalis. It is questionable whether this form is identical with crameri Btlr. (= esperi Kirby). The shape 
of the fore wings is narrower and more sharply pointed. The outer margin runs almost straightly. The black 
markings of the $$ are especially wide and heavy. To this race belongs quadra Vrty. with almost square 
median spot: triangula Vrty. from Syria is somewhat smaller and the median spot has almost the shape 
of an equilateral triangle. Rocci has described 2 forms from the neighbourhood of Genoa as genuensis and 
maritima which are nothing else than occidentalis. — A separate race flies in Grenada, rothschildi Vrty. The 
black markings of the upperside are grey with a slight indication of yellow. The underside of the hindwings 
is olive green turning to yellowish towards the margin of the wings. — Rothschild separates belia flying in the 
high mountains of Central Algeria according to the period in which it flies as gen. vern. butleri (= paravicini 
Stauder ) and gen. aest. turatii. Both scarcely differ from one another. — Titrati mentions as libyca the spring 
generation of belia from Cyrenaica. It comes between triangula Vrty. from Syria and aegyptiaca Vrty. from
