about y 3 rd larger than specimens from south Germany. $ with very wide white bands, especially on 
underside of hindwing, heavily white at base. Hungary. pannortia Fruhst. is as large as the italian and south 
french specimens. White spots in apical eye particularly small, otherwise scarcely distinguishable from the 
following. Croatia. — venusta Fruhst. A transition to asiatica. White spots on forewings less separated than 
in latter, the band on hindwings to the anal angle is not so narrow. Therefore according to the description 
scarcely distinguishable from hispanica. Caucasus. 
S. hermione L. (Vol. 1, p. 123). We are treating this and alcyone W. V. preliminarily still as separate 
species as was done in Vol. 1 although it is doubtful whether they are so. For even such careful observers as 
Pungeler and Fruhstorfer are not always clear regarding the differences. New forms have only been named 
from the South with only one exception. albifera Fruhst. $ and $ with a considerable amount of white on 
hindwings on upper and undersides. Clausen, Bolzano, Lugano. - aturia Fruhst. is similar but the band is 
never such a pure white, $ with still wider yellow stripe than in orphnia from Italy. On underside without the 
sharp white markings as albifera. Maritime Alps. selene Fourcr. Frithstorfer mentions as being described 
from Paris, occurring also in the swiss-french frontier territory. From Florence, Italy, have been described: 
orphnia Fruhst. Forewings with intensive yellow band and the hindwings of $ with yellow striations. Florence. 
- At higher altitudes from the same district alcyoneformis Vrty. (10 f) with narrower white band, more diffuse 
and dentate than alcyone, but just as small as in same. From the Apennines of Tuscany over 1000 m. 
flavata Rost. Smaller. Bands glossy yellowish-white. Eyespots on upper and undersides of all wings. From 
the surroundings of Rome. On the other side of the Adriatic australis Rbl. with narrow pale bands. On under¬ 
side of hindwing in $ covered all over with dark mottling. Dalmatia. japudium Stauder is a sub-form hereto. 
The dark ground colour on both wings on upper and underside penetrates in serrations into the pale band. 
Istria. — serrula Fruhst. The band is only serrated on hindwings similar to syriaca (Vol. 1, plate 42 a), which 
Frtjhstorfer considers a separate species. The yellow streak under the ocelli is not absent as in attikanaFruhst. 
Otherwise similar to same, larger, bands white and wider. Ragusa. - meshetica Jach. from the North Caucasus 
is similar to alcyone according to the genitals. Other differences are not mentioned. 
S. alcyone Schiff. (Vol. 1, p. 123). Only certainly to be differentiated from the previous species by 
means of the genitals, the other differences are often too uncertain. Single specimens have been named: 
infumata Nitsche from Vienna (which Fruhstorfer considers the typical locality of the species) uniformly smoky 
brown especially on hindwings. - heuseri Ebert, small, pale grey-brown, otherwise normal. Kaiserslautern, 
neniorivaga Schtz. Both normal eyespots on forewing of the $ very large, besides a further small one between 
them only on upperside. Band of forewings yellowish, paler towards costa: pure white on hindwings. Berlin, 
Harz Mountains. — $ with numerous white spotted eyespots on the upper and underside is multiocellata Vorbr. 
Pfynwald (Switzerland). — Among the races is norwegica Strd., naturally smaller than the mid-european 
specimens. The band on both wings narrower on upper and underside. On upperside of hindwing eyespot 
always absent. Underside darker especially on hindwing. The lower eyespot on forewing almost always present 
but small, on the other hand sometimes between them a further eyespot: triocellata Strd. - The most widely 
distributed form in Germany is sigurdrifa Fruhst. with extensive and pale yellow bands in typical specimens 
from Bohemia, Vienna, Hungary. From the Palatinate, Magdeburg, Berlin and Silesia. — In odilo Fruhst. 
from the Liineburg Plain the white area of both wings is much more sharply pronounced and paler. — The race 
vivilo Fruhst. from the Swiss Jura is quite similar. and $ with very pale almost white band on fore wing. 
Hindwing of 9 mostly with pure white band, only the edge of band somewhat yellowish. — The opposite of 
this is genava Fruhst. with pale submarginal zone dark yellow in and 9- In the $ band on hindwings is only 
narrowly white. Martigny, Visp Valley. - sogdiana Fruhst. from Digne and Marseilles is a transition to the 
Spanish forms. Similar to pyrenea Oberth. (Vol. 1, p. 123). Band on hindwings of the $ purer white and narrower. 
Specimens of vandalusica Oberth. in which the eyespot of the forewings above vein 2 is absent on upper and 
underside are named noojos Rbb. vipsania Fruhst. Smaller than vandalusica. Bands also narrow and in the 
9 dark yellow especially on hindwing. Dark on underside especially on hindwing. Cuenca, Albarracin. — Also 
murciana Rbb. is similar to vandalusica. Larger, the pale bands narrower, appearing thereby darker. On under¬ 
side basal area of both wings very dark and thereby reminding of typical alcyone. — murciana is probably only 
a transition to vipsania which does not vary very much from the typical alcyone. - Of these dark forms 
maroccana Oberth. (10 g) from the central Atlas does not vary much: $ is darker than other races especially 
at apex of fore wings. 9 on underside densely marbled with black. $ less densely. — ellena Oberth. (Vol. 1 , plate 42 a) 
Fruhstorfer considers a separate species and according to the illustration in Vol. 1, plate 42 a this seems 
justified. latevittata Vrty. (10 g). Similar to hermione with long white bands (according to the name this 
should probably read “wide” bands). Tuscany. The description of this and several other forms named at the 
same time is somewhat obscure. 
S. briseis L. (Vol. 1, p. 124). The following aberrative specimens have been named: triocellata Vorbr. 
has above vein 4 on the forewings a further black eyespot which is with white pupil in the 9- In siedlecki Pruff. 
( punctata Aign.) there is a further supernumerary eyespot above vein 3 on fore wings. Warsaw. On the other 
hand sometimes in the race fergana Stgr. the eyespot is absent above vein 2: uniocellata Strd. — Specimens 
caught around Regensburg and the Valley of the Danube are to be considered typical of this race. The small 
race from the Harz Mountains and Bohemia varies by the absence of the pale bands on the forewings, sometimes
