dis. L. dis Ev. (Vol. 1, p. 308). Of this very little known species we have subsp. luana caught at Lhassa in 
luana. Thibet. It is distinctly smaller than dis and has a pronounced greyish upperside with large crescent shaped 
cell end spot. Forewings are uniform grey on underside with similar markings to dis and the subsequent 
errans. errans, although smaller than in the latter. — subsp. errans Riley is established from a single £ caught 
at Phari in Thibet at 14 000 feet altitude. It is smaller than dis and luana , upperside a rich dark brown 
with faint pale green dusting and with a prominent white discoidal spot. The fringes are long and pure 
white with small, intensively black dots at the extremities of the veins. The underside of the forewings is 
dark brown with faint greenish hue, large white spot at the end of cell and another shortly anterior to same 
in cell. On the hindwings rusty ground colour predominates, dusted with grey at base, otherwise richly marked 
with white as the fore wings. 
Idas- L. idas Rmb. (Vol. 1. p. 308, pi. 79 k). — Also of this rare Spanish species an ab. caeca Gourv. has been 
caeca. f 0U1 id, characterised by the reduction and absence of spots on underside. — In contrast hereto the race chap- 
chapmani. ttianni Ribbe occurring in Casayo, Pena Trevinca in N. W. Spain has a much more richly developed spot marking 
of underside; the spots are larger and with much wider white borders than in other local races; ground colour 
morroncn- itself is a darker brown and not so light as in name type form. — morronensis Ribbe from Mte. Morron at 2000 m 
SIS ■ altitude in the Sierra Espuna, Province Murcia has a heavy white surround to the discoidal lunule on upper- 
side of forewings. The underside of all wings is as pale brown as in specimens from Sierra Nevada, but there 
are fewer white ringed ocelli perceptible, especially on the hindwings. Altogether all the markings are charact¬ 
eristically reduced. 
psylonta. L. psylorita Frr. (Vol. 1, p. 308, pi. 79 k). — Only ab. caeca Gourv. of this Island Lvcaena is newly 
caeca. c f esc ribed. Basal and median ocelli of underside are absent. 
astrarche. L. astrarche Bgstr. (Vol. 1, p. 309, pi. 79 k). A number of new subspecies and races are established of 
this common species, corresponding to its occurrence over the whole of the palaearctic zone and quite apart from 
the variations which occur everywhere. This is especially the case as Verity has busied himself with this 
paUidior. species and in a none too precise way. —- ab. pallidior Oberth. has very pale yellow spots on underside which are 
r a diat a. otherwise orange red. — ab. radiata Oberth. with ocelli of underside extended like rays and ab. elongata Gourv. 
Ll0H pluri elongated ocelli of arcuate row. — ab. pluripuncta Gourv. shows supernumerary ocelli, whilst ab. caeca 
panda. Blacli. has no basal eyespots or arcuate row of ocelli. — ab. impunctata Oberth. shows still greater reduction 
caeca. G f ocelli and retains only 4 black cell spots. — ab. cuneata Carter belongs to the scotch race artaxerxes F. (80 a) 
Ull ^cimc(da w *th upperside like semiallous Harr. (Vol. 1, p. 309). Underside of all wings shows a confluence of sub marginal 
spots with arcuate ocelli, especially on hindwings the cuneiform marks created in this way extend to the base 
caeruleo- of wings. — ab. caeruleopuncta Haggart is also of scotch origin, it has blue discoidal marks. — ab. recessa Carter 
panda. & j{ arr { son shows discoidal spot absent, whilst ab. caeruleoarmulata Garter <fc Harr, has discoidal spot with blue 
caeruleo- ringlet and ab. alboannulata Carter db Harr, discoidal spot with white ringlet. — These 3 last aberrations 
annulata. together with the following ab. carteri Garter — with extinct median ocelli — belong to the race of salmacis 
annulata. Harr. (Vol. 1, p. 309) and were captured in Yorkshire and around Durham. — subsp. gallica Oberth. from the 
carted, surroundings of Paris, in the Bretagne, Poitou and certain parts of the Pyrenees comes between agestis Hbn. 
gallica. anc | calida Bell. : it has bright orange-red spots on upperside, somewhat smaller in $ than in 9, often they form 
a narrow band in the such as is always the case in the $. The underside of is grey, of $ yellow-red. - 
montennis, montana Ruhl-Heyne (Vol. 1, p. 309) (= hevnei WnukowsJcy) has had to be re-christened montensis Vrty. for 
reasons of priority, nevadensis Oberth. is also synonymous with same. It differs from allous Hbn. (79 k) by 
greater size and the cream yellow underside of <$ which has a somewhat reddish hue. Underside of $ is reddish 
yellow with red submarginal spots on all 4 wings; it is the counterpart of calida Bell. — Verity describes the 
semi- race semimontensis from Orihuela near Albarracin at 1700 m altitude, showing infinitesimal variations which 
montensis. are nevertheless said to be constant. The lunule spots are nearer the margin, other characteristics are shades 
of colours which can scarcely be described accurately enough to enable one to form a picture. — The same 
montana- applies to the race montanabella Vrty. from Villabarcas and Huelama in New Castile at an altitude of 1200 m. 
bdla- Underside is slightly paler, orange spots of upperside larger, brighter and warmer in tone than in montensis. 
montium- The safest characteristic is the locality label. — montiummagna Vrty. occurs in the Apuan Alps in N. Tuscany, 
magna. p p sa p{ to closely resemble montensis, especially on account of the reduced lunules, which appear to have a 
more reddish orange tone in the $ than in specimens from Spain. Underside of q pale light grey, rarely with 
yellow submarginal band, that of $ very pale grey-yellow. The situation of the marginal lunules is especially 
infralbens. characteristic, they are further from the margin than in typical astrarche. — ab. Infralbens Vrty. is classified to 
ornata Stgr. (80 a) from the neighbourhood of Florence, it is striking on account of the whitish underside in 
contrast to the relatively darkish grey of ornata. — Verity assembles the astrarche forms of N. Italy especially 
pallidcjulva. Tuscany and the surroundings of Florence under the race pallidefulva Vrty. They closely resemble calida Bell..
