ARGYNNIS. By M. Gaede. 
aphirape. A. aphkape Him. (Vol. 1, p. 227, pi. 67 f). deanella Schmidt. The black submarginal spots almost 
deanella. ex tinct, also the black middle lines fainter. The spots on underside of hindwings only retained as dots. 
marc/a. marga Schmidt has especially on hindwings, less often also on forewings white lunules beyond the black line 
haver- of cone-like marks. haverkampfi Ball, a heavy black middle line on both wings, the round submarginal spots 
kampfi. i nc ii nec i to be smaller. On underside of hindwings the black border of the anterior part of middle band is 
eustigmoea. missing. - In eustigmoea Gab. the black middle spot above vein 2 on the upperside of forewing is large and 
peleis. quadrangular. peleis Gab. has black ray-like streaks at margin on upperside of hindwings. — excelsa Schmidt, 
excclsa. j\j ar gi n 0 f both wings so widely black that the round black submarginal spots are merged therein. On the other 
jranckii. hand the black lines in discal area are weakly developed on upper and undersides. — franckii Lamb. Ground 
helmina. colour more fiery. Margin blacker and wider. Forewings black at base, middle band wide. helmina Fruhst. 
Somewhat like a less small ossianus (Vol. 1, pi. 67 f) in size and colouration. and $ small, upperside dull 
ochreous with subdued black submarginal dots, $ lighter on upperside with still less black markings, underside 
however like ossianus from Sweden. East Prussia, Esthland. 
hegemone. A. hegemone Stgr. (Vol. 1, p.228, pi. 67 i). — tienschanica Wagn. Ground colour somewhat lighter. 
tienschani- Submarginal lunules of both wings isolated and do not merge with the more narrowly black border. Juldus, 
ehotana. Uitas. — chotana 0. B.-H. Ground colour more fiery red than typical and probably thereby like erubescens 
Stgr. (Vol. 1, pi. 67 i). Outer margin of both wings black up to the row of scallops, otherwise the black spots 
are smaller. Chotan. 
selenis. A. seletiis Ev. (Vol. 1, p. 228, pi. 67 g). A few new east asiatic races: festiva Krul. Larger with more 
festiva. | i ve ]v markings on upper and undersides. East Siberia. — onorensis Mats. Similar to sibirica Ersch. (Vol. 1, 
onorensis. 0 x x ... .. v .. 
pi. 67 g) but with more pointed apex. In middle of underside of hindwing a whitish violet band; a striking 
chosensis. black ringlet in the middle of cell. Marginal spots smaller and whitish. N. Sachalin. — chosensis Mats. Similar 
to onorensis but the submarginal row of black spots nearer to the margin on both wings. The ground colour 
does not form crescents beyond same. On underside the white crescents before the margin are bordered by a 
tahamuku- band of black scallops, which is absent or faint in onorensis. Corea. takamukuella Mats, differs from onorensis 
c/la. py [ ar g er band-like black spots, margin of both wings black. Disco-cellular spot far removed from the angular 
mark. Compared with sibirica Ersch. the whitish outer band on hindwings is more striking, it has a tinge of 
violet, with 2 white spots at each end. Also from Corea.

A. selene Schifj. (Vol. 1, p. 228, pi. 67 g). Albinos are named pallida Spul. and decolorata Oberth., the 
latter not quite so pale. - chlorographa Gab. has light reddish yellow forewings with yellowish white marginal 
lunules. Apex of forewings delicately paler. Underside of both wings paler than normal. pallida-parvipunctata 
Oberth. is a pale specimen with few black spots on upper and undersides. - nigricans Oberth. has yellow-red 
rays at margin of both wings, which otherwise are blackish. nigricans-parvipundata Oberth,. has only a wide 
black margin to forewings, which are otherwise yellow-red. On hindwings only a small fuscous spot in middle 
of wing. — berolinensis Reuss. Ground colour dusky, black markings increased. - - bernhardi P. Schulze is 
about the same. Ground colour, especially of forewings, blackish on upper and undersides. - nigromarginafa 
Lamb. Upper side of wings yellow-red with slight violet sheen. Spots and lines rather indistinct. Margin 
widely black with yellow-red dots, not lunules, like euphrosyne-obscura Stgr. — interligata Cab. has the 2 black 
spots above the middle of inner margin on upperside of forewings conjoined by a streak. - In Asia 2 new races: 
lucetia Fruhst. $ like dilutior Fixs. (Vol. 1, pi. 67 g), still somewhat larger, lighter with bold black spots. 
Unusually wide middle band on underside of hindwings. Silvery spots behind the cell scarcely perceptible, 
silvery white half-band on costa diffused, but silvery marginal spots more sharply pronounced than in dilutior. 
Japan. chibiana Mats, is also similar to dilutior, but with larger cell spots and darker base on fore wings. The 
marginal spots larger, roundish, between them yellow spots. Hindwings with dusky basal area. Kurile Islands. 
— There is still a description of castiliana Lowe : “very like hecate ”. — According to Watkins perryi Btlr. (pi. 67 g) 
dealt with in Vol. 1, as a variety, is a separate species. 
A. sachalinensis Mats. Similar to selene but larger. A row of lunules at outer margin of forewings. 
Black spot in middle of cellule 6 is quite absent. Hindwings with larger spots and wider bands than selene. 
No silvery white spots on underside at base, but there are in cells 2—6. Sachalin. 
angarensis. A. angarensis Ersch. (Vol. 1, p. 229, pi. 67 h). Of this 2 small dark races are new: — alticola Suschk. 
alticola. Forewings narrower, blackish at base. Underside of hindwings with narrow middle band. Minussinsk. — 
herzi. herzi Wnuk. Also darker on underside of hindwings and at apex of forewings. Differing from alticola by the 
absence of the shading at base of wings and without the middle band on underside of hindwings being reduced. 
Jakutsk. 
euphrosyne. A. euphrosyne L. (Vol. 1, p. 229, pi. 67 li). Dwarf forms are exceptionally not named parva or minor, 
pallida, but euphrosynella Cab. More or less albinotic specimens are named pallida Oberth., niveola Stich. with yellowish 
underside and little silver, albinea Lamb, with somewhat darker underside, no rusty red band on hindwings. 
chloro- — chlorographa Cab. is only yellowish white at middle of inner margin on upperside of forewings. - parvipunctata 
graplia. 
parvi¬ 
punctata.
