black band separating the red mark of the forewings from the white area of the wings are montivaga Trti. & 
Vrty. This is a variety and not a local race as the authors presume. ab. marginata Greer has a 3 mm wide 
outer marginal band in the forewings and the orange spot is profusely intermixed with black scales. — striata 
Pionneau shows 3 black and very distinct stripes in the red mark: a counterpart hereto is reducta Masowicz in 
which white stripes intersperse the red mark. - sulfureovenata Rayn. is a further very pretty aberration. The 
closing nervure of the discoidal cell and the 4 upper nervules radiating to the border of the wings are scaled 
and margined with a beautiful sulphur yellow. In ab. detersa Vrty. the red highly coloured mark is quite 
absent. — flavoradiata Stephan has the veins dusted with yellow on the upperside of the hindwings. — in ab. 
antiquincunx Bryk the black discoidal spot is elongated up to the costa. — In divisa Shelj. the black median 
spot is divided into 2 small dots. — In parvipuncta Trti. the median spot has the shape of a small fine comma. 
sibirica Haashus is very similar to sajana Bang-Haas, in the $ the black median spot is missing. - costaeni- 
grata Gloss (= shepdaeli Cabeau) has the costa of the forewings heavily dusted with black to well over the 
middle. — In caulotosticta Wms. (= umbratilis Stephan) a black line extends from the disc along the costa 
towards the base of the wings. In the $ the following newly described varieties occur: perflavida Stauder 
has the upperside of the wings covered with a beautiful yellow and also the grey apical mark is intermixed with 
yellow. ochrata Greer varies in the same direction, all the wings are coloured a dark ochre yellow. — The 
back of the forewings is irregularly spotted with orange-red in commaculata Vrty. — In provosti Lamb, the 
margin of the forewings is orange-yellow, the black apical mark is surrounded with light dots. There are yellow 
stripes in the disc of the forewings, whilst that of the hindwings is quite orange yellow so that the markings 
of the underside do not reflect through. Belgium. - f. andromorpha Vrty. is a $ from the collection of Bang- 
Haas from Petersdorf in Austria, which shows the orange-yellow mark of the <$. - subtusflavovenata Reuss. 
shows yellow dusted veins on the underside of the hindwings. nigrocellularis Oberth. has the black discoidal 
spot of the forewings elongated and enlarged towards the apex both on the upper and undersides. — In 
discocellularis Strd. there is a small black spot in the median cell on the upper and undersides of the hindwings 
and in the second area there is a small black angular mark opening outwards. -— marginemaculata Stephan are 
$$ with especially heavily developed marginal spots on the hindwings. —- The form described as “subsp.” 
by Matstimhea from a single 9 can in the best case only be deemed a variety. — ab. $ isshikii Mats, from 
the province of Shinan in Japan has a round discoidal spot and white spots in the apical mark. The hindwings 
are more heavily dusted with black at the base. The underside of the hindwings is a dark green with about 
23 white spots which however do not form a white band. In ab. kobayashii Mats, from North Sachalin the 
discoidal spot of the forewings is divided looking like a semicolon. The black apical mark has 2 yellow spots 
in cells 8 and 9. The underside shows profuse admixture of yellow scales. — Verity denominated as a new 
race britannica flying in England. It shows the orange-red spot less well developed, especially towards the inner 
margin, on the other hand the black median spot is larger and deeper black. - A transition to the oriental races 
appears to be formed by meridionalis Vrty. The underside of the hindwings has a brighter green but this is 
more suppressed than in specimens from more northern I’egions and is faintly powdered with black. To this 
race belongs the f. hybridophana Stauder. The underside is said to resemble a belia simplionia romanoides , 
especially in the distribution of the white spots. The shade of the yellow-green corresponds exactly to that of 
romanoides. Stauder believes this is a hybrid between romana Calb. x cardamines L. — A very large race 
flies in Greece, the $ often with the veins a pretty yellow as in thibetana Oberth ., the $ often quite yellow instead 
of white: graeca Vrty. Verity described turritiferens from Sicily which cannot be differentiated from turritis 
0. - The <$$ of the form taipaichana Vrty. flying in the Tsingling Mountains is well characterised by the paler 
and more reduced red mark. The underside is almost without green, almost sooty brown with impure yellow 
veins. The orange mark is elongated towards the base. subsp. septentrionalis Wnukowsky from Jakutsk is 
smaller than european specimens. The red mark of the $ is considerably enlarged. The underside of the 
hindwings shows a deeper grey-green colour so that the white spots appear to be widely distributed. — For 
reasons of nomenclature we mention here that crocea Rober is synonymous with lutea Gillmer and minor Cock 
should take the place of hesperides Newnh. Extensa Rob. is identical with bambusarum Oberth. 
A. gruneri H.-Schafj. (Vol. 1, p. 54). The following forms are added to subsp. armeniaca Christ.: ab. 
decolor Shelj. from Pontus a very small albinotic <$ in which all the black markings are bleached to white-grey 
and the otherwise green marks on the underside of the hindwings are an impure yellow-green. tkatshukovi 
Shelj. from the eastern Euphrates is a 3 with wider more rounded forewings in which the orange coloured and 
green areas are paler and appear to be reduced. The white spots on the margin of the wings are quite absent. 
The subsp. macedonica Buresch described from northern Macedonia should be added to armeniaca. The 
red apical mark is yellow outlined with black inwards. The $ has an especially well developed discoidal spot. 
A. damone Bsd. (Vol. 1. p. 54). A $ variety from Greece is described by Sheljuzhko as flavoapicata. 
The veins of the forewings are scaled with yellow, the light spots on the margin of the wings are intensive ochre 
yellow. On the underside the apex and base of the forewings are a deeper yellow. — A small race, syra Vrty., 
flies in Syria, it is distinguishable by the absence of the black streak which otherwise separates the yellow area
