LYCAENA. By Chr. Bollow. 
as is shown by specimens of alcon from south Germany and Austria-Hungary. The 2 is striking an account of 
the bright glossy basal dusting and the prominent spots in the median area of forewings. Underside is paler 
grey, slightly reminding one of avion on hindwings and the black spots contrast more vividly than in alcon from 
sordidula. other localities. — sordidula Jack, from Zhelezdnovodsk in the northern Caucasus is small with almost grey 
upperside, underside greyish with blue dusting at base of wings. It was impossible for me to discern from the 
russian text, whether this form is a separate race. 
coeli. L. coeli Oberth. from Tzeku in Yunnan is perhaps only a race of coeligena Oberth. (Vol. 1. p. 320). The £ 
shows a nice pure sky blue, more opaque and less transparent than in coeligena. The $ is darker than the latter, 
of black-brown ground colour with blue dusted base which appears blue-grey in coeligena. Underside is reddish 
grey-brown with very large black submarginal spots on forewings which have lighter surrounds than ground 
colour. It certainly occurs very close to the palaearctic boundary. 
eu-phemus. L. euphemus Hbn. (Vol. 1, p. 320, pi. 83 a). — $ ab. mamers Bgstr. has no spot markings on upperside 
mamers. an( [ albocuneata Spul. is a o with white cuneiform marks situate internervally on upperside extending towards 
sanguisor- base f rom margin. — 9 ab. sanguisorbae Oberth. has a quite grey upperside with almost extinct spot marking, 
bae. suffused with a delicate blue cloud over the disc. Underside slightly paler than normal specimens. — ab. 
obscura. obscura Kaucki has a melanic appearance, being a blackish 9 from near Lemberg. — subunicolor Pionn. from 
subunicolor. the Gironde is a 9 without spots on upperside of hindwings. — subsp. bajuvaricus Fruhst. from Ivochelsee and 
bet) mm Deininger Moos in Upper Bavaria has with darker blue on upperside and margins nearly double as wide as 
in name form. The 9 is predominantly blackish brown on upperside having a blue discal area densely covered 
ihersandrus. by brown scales. Underside is smoky brown instead of grey, as in specimens from north Germany. — thersandrus 
Fruhst. occurs at the end of July, beginning of August around Eclepens in Canton Waadt. It is of considerable 
size, the <9 characterised by distinct white submarginal spots such as are also shown by north german specimens, 
but it can be distinguished immediately by the wider margin and the more prominent cuneiform marks, quite 
apart from the larger size. The 9 partly resembles bajuvaricus , whilst on the other hand it seems to imitate an 
avion 9 by the bold black post-discal markings of forewings. Blue of upperside is more vivid than the lightest 
north german euphemus. However underside is darker, almost like bajuvaricus. 
peninsulae. The race petiinsulae Vrty. occurs below Bologna at an altitude of 1000 m in the Sibillini Mountains 
in the province of Marche. This race makes a darker impression on upperside whilst underside is paler than 
name form. The basal half of wings of <$ is admixed with grey scales, so that a duller, paler blue is created. 
Spots of all wings are blackish. Submarginal spots of hindwings are grey with Avhite surrounds, black margin 
almost extinct. Underside is pale grey, a tone paler than in other races, with white streaks between the veins 
almost like albocuneata Spul. All marginal and submarginal spots are small and distinct, also on forewings.— 
splendens. subsp. splendens Kosch. from the borough of Minussinsk in E. Siberia only occurs in the steppes, in contrast 
to euphemia Stgr. (83 b) from the forest regions. It is smaller viz: 30—31 mm expanse against 33—35 mm of 
euphemus from those regions. All wings are darker, glossy grey-blue and black margins considerably wider. The 
9 is blue-black; crescent mark on forewings contrasts strikingly from the restricted blue-grey dusted area of 
disc; a few blue-grey streaks close to margin. Underside of both sexes darker than euphemia Stgr., otherwise 
insignis. markings are identical with same. — insignis Shelj. is described as a race from the neighbourhood of the station 
Pogranitshnaja in E. Mandchuria and the frontier of the Ussuri territory and is probably identical with 
splendens or at the best could be classified as a variation of same. The general impression of the form is 
somewhat darker than that of splendens. 
coreana. L. coreana Mats, is described from a from Shakuoji in Corea and would come under euphemia Stgr. 
( 83 b) from which it differs by the more azure blue upperside of wings and the cell end spot that is shaped like 
an “!”. The black median spots of fore wings are very elongated. Only 3 median spots on hindwings. Underside 
ogumae. with small black spot in disc. — ogumae Mats, from Saghalin varies from name form by the whitish blue tone 
of the wings. Fore wing has 3 and hindwing 4 black spots and underside is almost white with black spots having 
doii. white surrounds such as do not occur in euphemia. — doii Mats, from the Kurile Islands is caught in July and 
August and as a race comes close to ogumae Mats, from Saghalin, but the black spots on forewings of $ are larger 
and more roundish and do not decrease in size towards the costa. Also on hindwings they appear to be smaller. 
Underside lighter and paler, so that the black spots contrast vividly. The 9? also resemble ogumae in point of 
oiivakana. markings, but the brown margin is much narrower. — ab. oiwakana Mats, from Oiwake, Honsho, belongs to 
the race of hazamoto Drc. (83 b), forewings of <9 are dusted with blue to the extent of (/p'd, a black spot in disc. 
In certain light the postmedian and submarginal bands diffuse. Hindwings have dark, semi-extinct spots in the 
submedian area and are suffused with blue from there to base. There is a roundish brown spot in disc. Discoidal 
shiriyensis. lunules large and oblong on both wings. An elongated brown spot in the cell on underside. — subsp. shiriyensis 
Mats, from Shiriya in Aomori (Honsho) also looks like ogumae but can be distinguished immediately by the 
wide black margin which is about 3 mm wide on fore wings and 4 mm wide on hindwings. Underside is much 
daisensis. darker, but somewhat paler than in hazamoto Drc. — subsp. daisensis Mats, from Daisen in Province Hoki 
(Honsho) varies from name form by the pale bluish ground colour of forewings in both sexes. Discoidal lunule
