CAMENA; LAEOSOPIS; NIPHANDA; CALLOPHRYS; THECLA. By M. Gaede. 
6. Genus: €amena Hew. 
ctesia. C. ctesia Hew. (Vol. 1, p. 261, pi. 72 c). The type race occurs at Assam and Sikkim. — agalla Fruhst. 
agalla. f ro m W. China has a heavier black discal spot on forewing and less blue colouration. Underside is darker, more 
yellowish than white and heavily spotted. On the other hand a from Kansu has quite minute spots. 
8. Genus: liaeosopis Bmb. 
roberis. L. roboris Esp. (Vol. 1, p. 262, pi. 72 d). — escorialensis Oberth. from Spain is larger and especially 
escorialen- the $ has practically no blue sheen on upperside. 
sis. 
9. Genus: Niplianda Mr. 
fusea. N. fusca Brem.-Grey (Vol. 1, p. 262, pi. 72 e). — tituria $ Fruhst. Very different from lasurea $ Graes. 
tituria. (p| 72 e). Upperside brown-grey, pale blue at base. Underside predominantly white-grey. Forewings with 
shijima. small brown spots with wide white surrounds. Chingan mountains. — shijima $ Fruhst. Differing from 2$ 
from the main-land by the smaller brown post-discal spots on underside of both wings. Japan. — niphonica 
niphonica. Mats. The single $ is similar to formosensis Mats, that cannot be dealt with here, the forewings are therefore 
paler, so that the spots from the underside are reflected through. On underside the spots decrease in size 
towards the costa. The most anterior spot on hindwings is very small, the next one being much larger. Honshu 
(Japan). Perhaps identical with shijima. 
11. Genus: Calloplirys Billb. 
rubi. C. rubi L. (Vol. 1, p. 263, pi. 72 e). — According to Cotjrvoisier the northernmost race should be 
borealis, named borealis Krul. polaris Krul., sibirica Buhl and nordlandica Strd. are approximately the same, as they are 
clialybei- all not a pure green on underside, but mixed with yellowish or brownish. — chalybeitincta Sov. (= caerulescens 
hncta. q jg^fj ) j s distinctly suffused with blue on upperside and with heavy white markings on underside. Elisa- 
schamyl. bethpol. — schamyl Sheld. is small, typical on underside, upperside of d and $ black without any markings 
and with green-blue sheen. Novorossiisk. The form from Sarepta is somewhat darker than typical rubi being 
herculeana. a transition to this form. - herculeana Pfeiff. from Inner Anatolia is very large (31 -33 mm). Upperside like 
sachalinen- specimens from mid-Europe, underside pale verdigris, the white spots practically absent. sachalinensis Mats. 
S!S - is naturally somewhat similar to sibirica Buhl, already dealt with in Vol. 1. In the d the sexual mark is longer 
than in type. Green colour of underside is almost normal, 2 white dots on hindwings of which the posterior 
one is very small. Sachalin. — The following aberrations have been named and unless specially otherwise 
leucosticta. mentioned, the denominations are by Ttitt: leucosticta Std. A very small immaculata d Fuchs with very pale 
sexual mark. — Ttttt has denominated according to the number of dots on underside: punctata with 3 on 
forewing and 7 on hindwing, inferopunctata only has dots on hindwing, incompleta has an incomplete row on 
hindwing, which in bipunctata is reduced to 2 dots. The name of caecus Geoff, is sometimes used for immaculata 
Fuchs, but according to Cotjrvoisier the name does not exist and can only have been used erroneously. For 
varying shades of ground colour of upperside we have: viridis Courv. with green sheen, pallida for reddish 
yellow, fervida Stgr. for reddish, suffusa for grey-black specimens, pigmentocarens Vrty. for dark grey with a 
somewhat golden gloss, thinly scaled. For the underside: brunnea (= olivacea Blach.) brown instead of green 
and caerulescens for bluish-green. - The $ of suaveola Stgr. is somewhat lighter grey-black with silky gloss on 
upperside of fore wings. Underside impure green. Forewings grey at inner and outer margins. Forewings 
cinerascens. with 3 white sjiots, hindwings with 2, palpi white outwardly. — cinerascens Bbl. is lead-grey on upperside. 
avis. C. avis Chapm. (15 a). Similar to rubi and therefore not previously discerned. Somewhat larger, 
scarcely a trace of tails. On upperside somewhat more reddish than rubi-fervida Stgr. In the $ veins 3— 5 
generally darker. No metallic line around eyespots. The androconia spot is approximately triangular, not oval. 
The shaft of antennae is reddish flesh coloured inwardly on underside, instead of only around the tip. Green 
colour of underside somewhat different. The white line is fine, but almost completely traverse, not separated 
into spots and without dark margination inwards. The first white spot on hindwing situate further inwards, 
so that the second one appears to be displaced outwardly. The reverse is the case in rubi. S. France, Spain, Morocco. 
mystaphia. C. mystaphia Miller. Smaller than rubi, apex of forewings rounder. In <$ there is a grey-yellow elliptical 
spot on forewings, where in rubi G there is a small cavity. Vein 1 of hindwing does not end in a projection. 
Underside grass green, only inner margin of forewings pale brown. A dull white row of spots parallel to outer 
margin. A similar pure white band on hindwing which is bent at a right angle at vein 5. This is the chief 
difference as compared with rubi. Transcaucasia, Sultanabad (Persia). 
13. Genus: Theda F. 
spini. T. spini Schiff. (Vol. 1, p. 265„ pi. 72 g). brevicaudis Pnglr. from Zermatt has very short tails to, 
brevicaudis. hindwings, the extension is also absent in the $. The yellow red spots at anal angle on upperside are fainter.
