upperside finely black, below finely brown. A specimen is illustrated with a supernummerary eyespot: pelagia- 
novemocellata Oberth. The inclination to be aberrative in this way also occurs in syllius from the Maritime 
Alps, where it has been named decemocellata Oberth. when with 1 more eyespot on forewing than is normal. 
Specimens of pherusa still more faintly marked than plesaura have been classified as reducta Meier-R. 
M. ines (Vol. 1, p. 117) Hofjgg. Of the new forms reducta Oberth. (8 c) is most faintly marked corre¬ 
sponding to syllius-ixora. Without eyespots on upper or underside of hindwings only the cone-shaped line 
present. Andalusia. Transitions occur in North Africa, eventually to be denominated semi-reducta Houlb. - 
In paquita Bsd. eyespots somewhat better developed. fathme Wagner corresponds to reducta in regard to the 
fine marking of forewing. Eyespots on hindwings normally large, the dark radial shading on innermargin of 
forewing and under cell of hindwing considerably reduced. Tunis. - hanniba! St dr. (= completa Oberth.). In 
the space on underside of hindwing a further eyespot, anal eye mostly bipupillated. also 2 eyespots on fore¬ 
wings. Eyespots more iridescent. Algiers. The following forms are darker than type. jahandiezi Oberth. 
(8 d) ground colour white or pale yellowish. The blue centre dot of eyespots especially striking on upper- 
side. Atlas. — In grazianii Romei the largest eyespots occur. Differs from preceding by somewhat larger white 
marginal lunules and narrower black edge below the cell of hindwing. Tripoli. - Two small dark forms resem¬ 
bling each other closely though widely separated geographically: minima Houlb. $ 38 mm in Spain and sublu- 
tescens Turati from Cyrenaica. This corresponds in size and marking with minima on upperside, not grazi¬ 
anii. White marginal spots on upperside of hindwing small. Underside wings are creamy yellow. On forewings 
the antemarginal spots over the whole wing and the cone-shaped line are all cinnamon brown like the eye- 
spot ringlets. On hindwings with the exception of eyespot surrounds and the marginal line the whole marking 
cinnamon brown. Reminds one thereby of syllius. — On the other hand in West Morocco we find in the 
locality of jahandiezi a very pale and large form: eolossea Rothsch. £ 65 mm, $71 mm. - From Spain have been 
named: sulfurea Rbb. corresponding to lachesis-canigulensis but the ground colour is brownish not yellow. 
Underneath a typical ines. Andalusia. — If the white marginal spots are not developed, similar to lachesis- 
olaria the form is named margena Rbb. Heavier adumbration like prieia is called hiibneri Oberth., nigerrima 
Rbb. “shows the white ground colour only shining through in patches”. From this scant description it is 
impossible to recognise whether it differs from hiibneri. Andalusia. 
M. arge Sulz. (Vol. 1 , p. 117). The typical arge flies near Rome and Castellamare. — semicaeca Houlb. 
(8 d) is the palest of the new forms. On forewing only upper apical eyespot, on hindwing 1 —2 eyespots on 
top, 2 —3 below and on upperside all only punctiform. Disco-cellular with a black ringlet on forewing. Cone- 
shaped line faint on both wings fading away at anal angle. South Italy. — turatii Rost. Somewhat more 
heavily marked. Disco-cellular on forewing with black spot but no white centre, subapical band just indicated. 
Only one eyespot on forewing, eyespots on hindwings somewhat larger. Rome. — cocuzzana Staucler is similar 
to syllius. Freshly emerged $ and $ brilliant ivory white (an impurer white is typical) on ripper and under¬ 
side, worn specimens yellowish. At the disco-cellular of fore wings a black ringlet, ribs black as in syllius. 
Eyespots and cone-shaped line heavy on upper and undersides. Monte Martellino. — A number of single spe¬ 
cimens have been named according to the number of eyespots. Cyclops Slander only 1 instead of 2 eyespots 
on forewing, semicaeca Stauder besides above only the upper ones as spots on hindwings. On the other hand 
pluriocellata with 2 additional eyespots between veins 2 —4, which are also faintly indicated on underside. 
— melanotica Trti. (8 d) is an abnormally dark specimen from Castellamare, corresponding to ines-hubneri. 
The apical area of forewing and outer margin of hindwing on upperside very dark. Underneath the whole 
outer half of hindwings adumbrated. 
12. Genus: Hbn. 
0. jutta Hbn. (Vol. 1, p. 118). — gigantea Aust. Just as big as magna Graes. but the <$ with scent 
stripes below the cell. Eyespots on forewings as small as in magna <$, larger in $ than in 1)n hindwings 
yellow margination not bandlike with 1 —2 black eyespots. (According to specimens in the Puengeler Collect¬ 
ion) Sojmonowsk, Urals. — sachalinensis Mats. Very closely resembling preceding with similar scent stripe. 
3 eyespots on forewing in narrow yellow band. On underside the dark middle band more heavily outlined 
with black, its inner edge not acutely angled at the middle of cell. 58—66 mm. — Eyespot varieties have 
been named: 2 further small eyespots above the normal 3—4 in forewing: sexpunctata Bryk; quadrimaculata 
Bryk, the second eye from the top which otherwise is very small or even absent is here pronounced; rudolphii 
Bryk the second eyespot on forewing only as a yellow streak, hindwings without eyespots and with faint 
yellow streaks. All from Sweden. 
0. mulla Stgr. (Vol. 1, p. 118). tannuola Bang.-H. (10 e). Smaller than elivesi and more sparsely 
scaled. Ground colour of ash-grey, bands white, in $ ground colour darker, bands yellowish-white. Tan¬ 
nuola mountains. 
0. aello Hbn. (Vol. 1, p. 119). A few eyespot variations have been named, cruciata Oberth. (8 e) an 
additional small eyespot both above and below the normal eyespot above rib 2 of forewing. The main eye- 
spot with white pupil. Apical eyespot with only one secondary eyespot. Valais. — luxuriosa Schaiv. $ with
