ARGYNNIS. By M. Gaede. 
harmothoe. — harmothoe Fruhst. Like aigina Fruhst. from Andalusia, almost as large as triburniana. Black margins narrower 
and other black markings reduced. Underside pale, black dot marking less heavy than in alaica Stgr. Maritime 
florida. Alps. — florida Vrty. is large, especially the $ and on the average with fewer black markings. Therefore scarcely 
different from harmothoe. Florence. — According to Verity, Schiffermiller was the author first describing 
hecate and the type is from Turin. - - From Spain 3 new races have been described in the catalonian dialect 
weissiana. and therefore there is no guarantee for correct translation. weissiana Sag. Large with relatively large 
poecilla. hindwing, especially in the Underside paler, black markings at base reduced. Catalonia. poecilla Sag. 
Not so large as former, hindwings normal. Upperside with heavy black markings, especially at base. Lhiderside 
of forewings more richly marked in <$, claret coloured in $. The green (?) markings on hindwing contrast with 
rubecula. the reddish patches, that are interspersed with black scales. Albarracin (Aragon). — nibecula Sag. The smallest 
of the 3 races. Underside of both sexes claret colour on forewing. Red patches on hindwings more prominent 
than in weissiana, the postmedian and marginal spots on the contrary being less. Aragon. — According to 
the poor material of the Berlin Museum, aigina from Andalusia has the 2 outer rows of black spots more heavily 
developed than the other races. In Albarracin and Catalonia the buff colour is predominant on the under¬ 
side of hindwings. In Moscardon, Aragon the forewing has a slight tinge of rose, the red colouration being 
more extensive on hindwing, yellow brighter. One can classify, as Pungeler has done, all these 3 races under 
aigina, which was already dealt with in Vol. 1. • 
ino. A. ino Rott. (Vol. 1, p. 234, pi. 68 g). virgo Oberth. denominates a specimen that is pale on upper and 
chi or o un d er sides. ~ chlorographa Cab. has yellow-white spots at middle of inner margin on forewing. gracilens Cab. 
grapha. has normal ground colour, but the black marking is almost completely extinct. interligata Cab. two spots 
gracilens. above the inner margin of fore wings horizontally conjoined. — zinalensis Fame. Fore wings blackened in the 
l ~inalensis' m iddle, radial streaks near the margin. Hindwings similarly. Also radial streaks on underside of forewings. - 
berolinensis. berolinensis Reuss. Ground colour duskily adumbrated with violet sheen. More or less entirely black specimens 
are named: melania Oberth., tabusteaui Oberth., lambinii Lamb, and melanosa Cab. — Dwarf forms are named 
adula. minor Cab. - - The new races are mostly determined for Europe: adula Fruhst. varies from specimens from north 
Germany by lighter colour and more delicate black marking; margin of both wings narrow without blue-black 
tergesta. gloss. Smaller. Engadin. — tergestaFni/wh Similar to aclula, still smaller and paler. Black dots very small, so that 
eporedia. the yellow submarginal spots appear very large. Esthland, Finland. eporedia Fruhst. In proportion to the 
forms from the north, the black margin and middle band are much wider. S. Tyrol and Courmajeur. - Of the 
crilda. 2 Spanish races the 1st may be described as a large adula : erilda Sag. Upper and undersides less richly coloured 
than typical, black markings reduced especially at base of forewing. Aragon. — The 2nd is a small eporedia: 
pyrenaica. pyrenaka Sag. Smaller than type, darker; the $ especially in the basal half of both wings. Valleys at high 
trachalus. altitudes in Catalonia. - Also in Asia, a few new races: trachalus Fruhst. The C as large as amurensis Stgr. with 
more pointed forewing, similarly coloured to a brick-red didyma. The black dot marking in the postmedian 
area of forewings is faint. Underside of forewings a rich deep red, hindwings more yellow, without green 
tarnis. dusting. Tien-Shan. taniis Fruhst. Small, ground colour light yellow, black marking faint, but nevertheless 
heavier than in paidicus (Vol. 1, pi. 68 g) from Altai. Underside like sibirica Seitz (— adalberti Fruhst.). Ussuri 
atra. territory. — atra Kardak. (13 h) a sub-form to amurensis Stgr. Ground colour darker, especially on hindwings, 
karafutonis. markings bolder. Also underside darker. Ussuri territory. karafuionis Mats. (= parvimarginalis A r aF)(14a) 
has smaller black spots at outer margin, except in cellule 2 where there are none. $ similar to amurensis Stgr., 
but ground colour paler, similar to tigroides Fruhst. Probably not much different from tarnis. Sachalin.

A. daphne Schiff. (Vol. 1, p. 235, pi. 69 a). The form with black radial streaks was already mentioned 
in Vol. 1 as conjuncta Tutt, obscura Aign. is approximately the same, melanotica Gillm. is darker especially on 
forewing. Only the yellow middle band is still light on underside of hindwing. x-punctatum Vorbr. corresponds 
to dejone-berisali Ruhl and amathusia-tramelana Gul. brunnea Cuss, has the bands on underside of hindwings 
uniformly brown. nikator Fruhst. Larger than normal. Ground colour paler yellow-brown, black markings 
finer. Underside of apex on fore and hindwings throughout paler, the outer row of dark spots more distinct; 
the yellow discal area paler, more sharply outlined. S. Tyrol and the Valais. radiata Trti. do Vrty. designates 
specimens with radial markings like those described under nikator. Valdieri. japygia Std. <$ normally large, 
fiery coloured. $ also large bright fuscous. Black markings heavy but not confluent. tenuitermaculosa Vrty. 
As the name indicates, with narrow bands. Florence. mediofusca Mats. Differing from fumida Btlr. by paler 
ground colour. The black spots smaller, except those of the submarginal row. The pale violet lunules of 
underside of hindwings wider. Corea. - A melanotic aberration is nakaharae Mats. The inner half of both 
wings is black, the outer half is yellow, but wide black triangular shaped marks point inwards from the margin 
along the veins. Japan. 
lathoma. A. lathonia L. (Vol. 1, p. 235, pi. 69 a). No one has yet named dwarf forms. - alba Spul. is silvery 
pallida w hite on upperside. - pallida Fritsch is pale yellow-brown, corresponding to niobe pallida Gillm. — reducta 
redacta. Schirm. has practically no markings in discal area of both wings. - arder.s Jach. (= fervida Fritsch) designates 
ardens. particularly fiery yellow-red specimens. - - caeruleomarginata Vorbr. has grey-blue scales on the marginal marks 
caeruleo- 
marginata.
