is almost cuneiform, sometimes there is a further black dot in cell. Submedian spots larger and elongated. A 
black streak near base on median nervure. Margin is strikingly wider. Hindwings have 6 spots in a row and a 
distinct discoidal lunule. A distinct pale spot in cellules 1-3 in the somewhat narrower margin than on fore¬ 
wings with indications in the other cellules. Underside of forewings pale grey, a small dot in disc and 2 spots 
in cellule 1 b in the $. Size is considerable, 44—48 mm expanse. — subsp. jezoensis Mats, from Hokkaido is of jezoensis. 
medium size, 37—39 mm expanse. The $ has 6 slightly elongated arcuate eyespots on forewings, of which the 
last one is slightly smaller, the others of about equal size. The black cell end spot is larger than the one on 
hindwings, the number of arcuate spots is only 5 here. The brown-black margin is narrower on forewings than 
on hindwings. Underside is marked on underside almost similar to upperside. The $ only varies from name 
form in that the number of spots is reduced to 2 — 3. — ab. teshionis Mats, from Teshio and Hidako in Hokkaido teshionis.

brown forewings which are decorated with a wide blue median band in which there are 4 oval black spots. 
Hindwings with 4 roundish black spots and a more widely interrupted blue marginal band. The discoidal lunule 
is absent on underside of forewings which is always present in jezoensis. 
L. hozanensis Mats, described according to a d from Hozan in the Province of Kankyonando, Corea liozanensis. 
has a wing expanse of 33 mm. It is open to doubt whether this is really a new species. So many new forms 
and species are being established without an examination of the genitals. Upperside is brown with blue scaling 
in disc which is heavier on forewings than on hindwings. Fringes white, slightly brown proximally. On forewings 
there is a trace of an undulate, dark submarginal band; the discoidal lunule is distinct whilst it is absent on 
hindwings but the submarginal undulate band is double there. Underside is dark grey with faint blue dusting 
at base of hindwings. Arrangement of spots and markings almost exactly like euphemus only somewhat fainter 
and more reduced.

L. areas Rott. (Vol. 1, p. 321, pi. 83 e). The variations caeca Oberth., caeca Gourv. and obsoleta Musch. 
are identical with inocellata Solm (Vol. 1, p. 321). — ab. impunctata Hand, is without basal eyespots on forewings, impunctata.

Subsp. kijevensis Shelj. from the Government of Kieff has of much darker blue colour with consider- kijevensis. 
ably wider margin on all wings than normal areas. The entire costa of forewing widely suffused with dark 
blue almost to the disc. Margins very diffuse and in some specimens the black scaling is so extensive that the 
cuneiform marks on both wings are only faintly visible. The §§ do not vary from type. Underside of both 
sexes somewhat darker and the pale surrounds to the ocelli slightly less distinct, especially on forewings, where 
sometimes they may be quite absent. 
L* arion L. (Vol. 1, p. 321, pi. 83 c). The variability of this large and widely distributed, fine insect arion. 
is considerable and accordingly the denominations of the many variations and races are numerous. — ab. 
grisea Courv. is a large <$ from Mentone with wide black margin and very prominent black markings on upperside rjrisea. 
with supernumerary spots. These contrast sharply from the pale grey ground colour that has a faint rosy hue.
