Z. picquenardi $ Oberth. (15 d). Upperside similar to hecale $ but with smaller spots on forewings. 
Underside like atilla, but with a W mark above the anal angle of hindwings in main band. 30 mm. Ta-tsien-lu. 
Z. comes Leech (Vol. 1, p. 273, pi. 74 f). — wilemaniella Mats. $ very similar to comes. Apical spot on 
upperside regularly somewhat larger. Underside paler, similar to minerva Leech (pi. 74 f). The principal white 
line on fore wings is not edged inwardly with black: beyond same a few dark brown scales in cellule 2 and a 
short white submarginal line from inner margin to cellule 2. The principal white line on hindwings is also 
straight anteriorly like in minerva and dentate posteriorly, a black spot at costa and in cellule 2 similar to 
gabrielis Leech (pi. 74 g). Japan. 
Z. betulae L. (Vol. 1, p. 273, pi. 75 a, b). Only aberrations have been named: steinbiihleri Hoffm. is 
devoid of markings on underside except for the discal sj)ots. Tutt has created the following names: (only for J) 
unicolor : upperside of fore wings without light patches, subunicolor : posteriorly with pale orange-red tinge on 
forewings, spinosae Gerh. is sub-divided according to colour into lutea-, grisea-, pallida-spinosa, just as (for $) 
the lineata Tutt is sub-divided into restricta- and lata-lineata to define the breadth of the spots, in uncilinea 
the inner line on underside of hindwings forms a hook mark. Besides this, there are major and minor Tutt for 
large and small specimens. 
Z. hecale Leech (Vol. 1, p. 271, pi. 74 b). According to OberthItr the $ illustrated in Vol. 1 does not 
represent the of hecale. The actual <$ is the same on underside as the $. On upperside of forewings only the 
lower outer orange red spot is present in smaller size. - shirakiarsa Mats, differs from the $ of typical specimens 
by smaller yellow-red spots on forewings. The outer line on underside of forewings is wider, the same applies 
to the white lines on hindwings. The wide black submarginal band is paler anteriorly, edged with white 
outwardly and grey inwardly. Daisuikutsu. 
Z. jezoensis Mats, is very similar to orientalis Murr. and was classified in the Puengeler Collection 
under the latter name. The forewing of the <$ does not vary, the hindwing has a complete black margin, however 
it is only half as wide as in brillantina (Vol. 1, pi. 73 g) from the angle above tail onwards. On underside the 
streaks at the disco-cellular nervule are absent on both wings, the principal white lines are only faintly edged with 
dark inwardly, the one on hindwing is not incurved at anal angle, so that no complete W is formed. $is brown 
without blue-white submarginal line on upper side of hindwings as in orientalis. 40—43 mm. Sapporo and E. Siberia. 
Z. aino Mats. Differing slightly from brillantina Stgr. (Vol. 1, pi. 73 g). In $ black margin of forewings 
narrower than shown in the illustration, which was anyhow on the wide side. On underside the light lines 
finer and apparently somewhat excurved at costa of hindwings in <§ and $. 35—37 mm. Sapporo. 
Z. jozanus $ Mats. Smaller than orientalis $ Murr. On underside the inner %rds pale yellowish brown, 
the streaks at disco-cellular indistinct. The marginal line of forewings yellowish in the lower 3rd. On hindwings 
the black anal spot is as small as in orientalis. The only certain characteristic appears to be the sharply dentate 
W, which is more pointed than illustrated for scintillans in Vol. 1, pi. 73 h. £ 32 mm. Sapporo. 
B. Group of the Polyommatini. 
18. Genus: Ilerda Dbl. 
I. stotzneri Drds. Similar to epicles Godt. (Vol. 1, pi. 75 g). Smaller, wings narrower and more pointed. 
Eorewings marked as epicles. Hindwings with slight inclination to metallic sheen at lower border of cell and a 
little also towards- margin. The red anal spot is larger, only separated from margin by a fine white arcuate 
line. Underside of forewings only with narrow red margin, black spot at anal angle larger, inner margin 
whitish, black submarginal spots being absent. Hindwings as epicles but with a black cell spot. W.-China. 
19. Genus: Aplinaeus Hbn. 
A. syama Horsj. (Vol. 1, p. 278, pi. 75 h). — sepulveda Fruhst. is larger than type and white on underside. 
Central and West China. 
20. Genus: Cigarltis B.sd, 
C. zohra Donz. (15 e) (Vol. 1, p. .279). In Vol. 1, pi. 75 h the species is illustrated as jugurtha Oberth. 
We are now giving a better illustration, as in the previous one the light apical spot was not sufficiently indicated 
and the underside appeared much too like allardi Oberth. The name type form has relatively many black spots 
on upperside and on underside the hindwings are almost as pale in ground colour as allardi, but with different 
spot-marking. — oberthueri Riley is not much different on underside. On upperside the marginal band is 
narrower on both wings. On forewings there is only one spot at disco-cellular and a subapical spot, no other 
spots. These 2 forms occur on the southern side of the high plateau of north Algeria. littoralis Riley has 
the row of marginal and submarginal spots generally separated on upperside of forewings and also otherwise 
reduced black markings. Hindwings approximately like siphax Luc. Black markings of underside sharply 
outstanding, especially on forewings. Oran. — jugurtha Oberth. is similar to zohra on upperside, but the spots 
are more sharply outlined and deeper black. Underside of hindwings is never white, but grey or generally brown. 
Saida, Sebdou, Tabia. orientalis Riley forms a transition to siphax and thereby supplies the proof that the
