of the wing from the red mark. The ^ shows a smaller and fainter apical mark. In both sexes the markings 
of the underside of the hindwings are reduced. — The f. privimacula Std. from Syria belongs to this race, it 
differs by the absence of the medianspot on the upper and undersides of the forewings. 
A. eupheno L. (Vol. 1, plate 22 h). The $ ab. nigritior Std. shows the yellow-red apical spot of the 
forewings more heavily dusted with black. -— ab. gynomorphica Vrty. is a d from Algeria which has exactly 
the appearance of a $ androgyne Leech. 
A. euphenoides Stgr. (Vol. 1, plate 22 h). The following varieties have been newly denominated: C ab. 
hyalina Oberth. has the whole apex filled by a large round hyaline macula narrowly surrounded with reddish in 
place of the red apical mark. - — ab. lasthenoides Oberth. is an albino form in which all colours are very pale and 
the black dividing streak of the forewings is absent. A strongly adumbrated <$, obscurata Oberth. has the 
highly coloured apical spot inclined to brownish being separated posteriorly by a particularly broad streak. 
In vemetensis Oberth. (7 d) this streak is missing. — The $ ab. quadripunctata Oberth. has a black spot in the 
disc of the underside of the hindwings and Vermillion red spots in the margin of the wings. — andalusica Rbb. 
are $$ in which the red colour of the apex is very pale and reduced, in some specimens in fact it is practically 
extinct so that the apex of the wings is quite grey. - impunctata-^ Rbb. from Andalusia has no black mark in 
the disc of the forewings. — 2 ab. limbata Blach. from Esterel has the hindwings narrowly margined with orange- 
red (sometimes dentate) from vein 2 to 6. —- minima Pionn. from Digne is a dwarf form with expanse only 
28—29 mm. The very large race alpium Vrty. flies on the highest alps in the Susa Valley around Oulx. The 
black streak on the forewings separating the red spot towards the inner area is less sharply outlined and not 
so deep black. The silver white spots are absent on the underside of the hindwings. 
13. Genus: Mi«lca H.-Schdff. 
M. scolymus Btlr. (Vol. 1, plate 23 a). $ ab. umbratilis Shelj. from Kiushiu and Hondo has a more or 
less wide grey stripe in the middle cell of the forewings from the base to the median spot. — subsp. mand- 
schurica (0. Bang-Haas i. 1.) is a small race from Harbin in Manchuria. The markings on the upper and under¬ 
sides in both sexes are paler and slightly reduced. The dark apical marks of the S are grey with a few distributed 
yellow scales, the red spots are paler. The median spot of the <$ and $ is elongated quadrangular, brownish- 
black. The green on the underside has a more yellow tone. — In Ogaki in Hondo a hermaphrodite was caught, 
the right side being d, left $. 
14. Genus: Zegris Rmb. 
Z. eupheme Esp. (Vol. 1, plate 23 a). 2 ab. modesta Alph. from Taganrog has the base of the wings, 
the costa and the apical band of the forewings more heavily scaled with grey, also the base of the hindwings. 
The underside of the forewings as well as the hindwings is a brighter yellow-green. — In ab. ochracea Alph. 
the apical mark of the forewings in both sexes is ochre yellow. — 2 ab. luctifica Vrty. (— ab. morena Rbb.) be¬ 
longs to subsp. meridionalis Led. It is from Rivas in Spain and has a quite black apex without any trace of red 
colouration. -— erothoe Ev. is a peculiar, quite distinct race, the chief difference of which is in the underside of 
the hindwings. Here the marking is very coarse and more olive green on a white ground. On the underside of 
the fore wings the apex has a V-shaped gold-yellow angular mark outlined blue-grey anteriorly and posteriorly. 
— subsp. dyala Peile from Persia differs from menestho Men. by the absence of the yellow scales in the ground 
colour of the hindwings and from tschudica H.-Schdff. by an increase in the white as compared with the green. 
— subsp. tigris Riley from Tigris in Mesopotamia is very close to tschudica H.-Schdff ., it differs however by the 
constant uniform yellow colour of the ajxex of the underside of the forewings. —- subsp. sulphurea 0. B.-H. 
(7 d, as sulphurica ) from Kuldsha (in the district Ili) resembles russian specimens in the placing of the marks, 
but the rxpperside varies by its brighter lemon-yellow colouration. 
Z. fausti Christ. (Vol. 1, plate 23 b). A $ in the collection of Oberthur from Krasnokowsk shows the 
small red spots of normal specimens coloured white: ab. decolorata Vrty. 
15. Genus : Teracolus Sums. 
T. fausta 01 . (Vol. 1, plate 23 c). In Syria we find a very pale form of whitish-yellow with tinge of 
delicate rose colouration ab. louisa Neuburger. — 0. Bang-Haas has denominated the summer generation 
flying around Bushire in the Persian Gulf as f. beckeri. It is considerably smaller than the spring form, paler 
and with increased yellow marks.
