C. cocandica Ersch. (Vol. 1, plate 25 d). To this very variable species a correspondingly large number 
of new denominations has been given. 0. Bang-Haas gives the name aurantiacomaculata to specimens with 
the middle spot of hindwings dusted ochre yellow. - viridis 0. B.-H. are GG of nice light green colour, closest 
to cocandica typica. - griseoviridis is a G aberration in which the ground colour is more grey green: G ab. 
brunneoviridis 0. B.-H. is when at the same time there is a brown colouration. — ab. tatarica 0. B.-H. represents 
GG and $$ of dull deep green colour with darker markings. — Vekity describes the form nastoides from the 
western Transalai. The wings are somewhat less elongated than in typical specimens. The disc of the forewings 
is light yellowish green, the spots in the submarginal band are very large. The brown marginal spots are absent 
on the underside. — In ab. immaculata Schaw. the light spots are absent from the marginal band of forewings. 
- — melanina nom. nov. (= melanitica 0. B.-H. nec Verity) are very dark, almost black on the forewings only 
on the margin of the wings a few marginal spots are faintly perceptible. — minor 0. B.-H. are dwarf forms. — 
circumiens O. B.-H. has the black median spot of the forewings formed like a circle without a middle spot. — 
In impunctata 0. B.-H. (= immaculata Schaw.) there is no spot at all. — If the spot radiates distally, the form 
is called radiata 0. B.-H. — Stauder names pupillata specimens from Hindukush with a pale centre to the 
median spot. — integra Vrty. described from Hindukush is a transition to hybrida Gr.-Grsh. — Verity also 
describes a smaller form from Hindukush, which he considers a separate race, hinducucica. The black markings 
in both sexes are more distended and especially the disc shows an increase in the black dusting. All markings 
of the underside are heavier and more sharply outlined. — Verity adds his f. melanitica to mongolica Alph. 
It is a very dark G with very diffuse marginal bands, which extend over the whole disc. — thrasibulus Fruhst. 
is a new name for elivesi Roeb. The forewings of the G are pale green, those of the $ white, not lemon yellow. 
The G ab- fulgida Vrty. from Ladak belongs to this race and has the upperside of all wings coloured a fine 
ochre yellow. — A separate subspecies occurs in the Richthofen mountains richthofeni 0. B.-H. (7 e). The 
GG have pale green ground colour with a tinge of yellow, the $$ are snow white. The base of the hindwings 
is very dark, almost black with the exception of the median spot, which is joined to the base by a light streak 
and which contrasts distinctly from the light marginal band. The underside of the forewings is white, green 
at the apex: the hindwings are uniformly green, the inner area of the wing, dark green with the white middle 
spot. — In subsp. sungpani 0. B.-H. from Sungpan (= Sumpanting) in Thibet the paleness of the forewings 
does not reach the same degree as in richthofeni. It is more inclined to be greenish grey and there are longish 
green streaks internervally in the black marginal band. The hindwings show deep black with the exception 
of the sharply outlined pale middle area and the submarginal spots which contract to points, pointing inwards. 
The markings of the $ resemble those of the G but the ground colour is white with a faint bluish sheen. — 
tibetana Ril. comes from the Mount Everest region of Nyenyam. The GG resemble large cocandica $2’, but the 
white middle spot of the hindwings is broader. — Evans describes the new race irma of considerable size, also 
from Thibet from the Lutsang-po. Wing expanse 54 nun. It is difficult to decide from the illustration whether 
this is a form of cocandica as the author considers likely. — On the other hand pugo Evans which flies between 
Gyantse and Bhutan also in Thibet, cannot be deemed a separate species, but should without a doubt be 
included in the group of cocandica types. The GG are pale yellowish white, the $$ white with black dusted 
veins. The costa of the forewings is red, the fringes white, pugo is the palest of all known cocandica forms: 
closest to it in this respect is thrasibulus Fruhst. 
melinos. 
tyche. 
montana. 
C. melinos Eversm. For reasons of priority Boebers’ older name tyche should be set in place of melinos. 
It consists of a few well distinguished local races, montana Vrty. flies in the Altai at an altitude of 2000 m. 
It shows a decided alpine character being of small size, the black markings being larger, more extensive and 
mag no., darker in colour. The underside shows considerable green dusting. — magna Ruehl from Baikal is the antithesis 
deckerti. thereto in regard to size and only separable from normal specimens thereby. — deckerti Vrty. (7 e) is a larger 
race from the Apfel Mountains. It has a wide rose coloured collar. The colour of the Go is bright yellow green, 
of the $$ white. The black markings are extended and heavy in both sexes. The G resembles normal $$ 
remarkably in the disposition of the markings. The $ has the apex and marginal band of the forewings very 
widely deep black and the marginal band continues over to the hindwings being interrupted by white triangular 
marks as far as the median nervure. Base of the wings is heavily powdered with black, on the hindwings also 
the proximal wing area right to the margin. On the undersides the G is bright canary yellow, the $ ochre 
viridis. yellow. — viridis (0. B.-H. i. 1.) (7 e). A new form from Hsining in the Nanchan Mountains, flying at an altitude 
of over 2000 m and belonging to the small alpine forms of this species. In the disposition of the markings it 
resembles deckerti Vrty., but the ground colour is a light canary green. Base of hindwings is heavily powdered 
with black. The wide black marginal band is divided lengthwise by a wide, light canary green band, so that 
posteriorly there is only a narrow, black, dentate band left and in the outer margin a few lunules. A large 
elongated square black mark extends from the disc towards the apex. The silvery spot of the undersides 
reflects through yellowish on top. The underside of forewings is pale yellowish green with a yellow apex, of the 
hindwings impure greyish yellow with lighter, wide outer and inner margins. The race from Amur
