Addenda to PARNASSIUS. By Chr. Bollow. 
Genus: Pamassius Latr. 
P. mnemosyne L. (Suppl. Vol. 1, p. 20—33). The subsp. hungaricus Rothsch. (p. 24) is further sub¬ 
divided and is now limited to specimens solely from Herculesbad and surroundings. In Transylvania, which 
distincta. Rothschild also mentioned as the home of his hungaricus , there are 2 further distinct races: subsp. dis- 
tincta Bryk & Eisn. from the neighbourhood of Kronstadt, the Cibin mountains, Komitat Klein-Kokal, 
Mount Butshatsh near Hermannstadt, is smaller than hungaricus, the cell spots bolder, the middle cell spot 
attached and suspended on top, diffusing below. The <$<$ throughout belong to the desintacla type, the $$ 
are gynaicotropic and often with ground colour of wings dusted with black. Anal spots conjoined with spot 
bischoffi. at close of cell. — The other race bischoffi Bryk & Eisn. is a melanic high altitude form from the Rodna 
Mountains and is in relationship to distincta , as P. apollo-transsylvanicus Schweitz. is to carpathicus Rhl. do Rogh. 
The ^ are similar to those of previous race, the hyaline band however is longer and it is of arcuata for¬ 
mation, especially in The with yellowish ground colour to wings, very melahyaline, costal and discal 
dioszeghyi. spots very opaque, reminding one of tubulus Fruhst. — subsp. dioszeghyi Bryk (= transsylvanica Diosz.) 
occurs on the Retyezat Mountains at up to 1700 m altitude and comes between hartmanni Stdf. and me- 
laina Hour. It is larger than the former and more heavily marked, base of forewings with dark dusting. 
In the $ the black spots in the disc are very large and often suspended. Hyaline margin as in hartmanni. 
At close of cell a heavily curved, often contiguous small band. Margin of hindwings dusted blackish, pro¬ 
jecting in dentations between the cellules into the light ground colour. The “S” shaped transverse band 
generally contiguous, extending to costa, always wide and dark, occasionally interrupted in cellule 2. The $<$ 
heavily marked, middle cell spots of forewings large, inclined to halteres formation. — subsp. perkele Bryk 
radio- (p. 30) f. radiomarginata Bryk <£■ Eisn. is characterised by the intramarginal band, which extends in ray 
marginata. formation over the usually hyaline marginal band between the veins to the margin, so that in place of the 
small lunules there is a row of wide white cuneiform marks towards outer margin. From Nagu in Finland. — subsp. 
gallicus. gallicus Bryk db Eisn. from Bonneval-sur-Arc in Savoy is also a high altitude race coming close to excelsa 
Vrty. from Mt. Cenis and pyrenaiana Bryk. Both sexes are richly marked, being smaller than the surround¬ 
ing races in S. France. The cell sjjots heavily black. The lunulata band occasionally occurs in the but 
not to such an extent as in specimens from S. France, ab. antiquincunx Bryk was observed in one and 
sulmonen- actually an extreme form. — sulnionetisis Dhl. from Monte Paradiso, Montagna Granda and the Majella belongs 
sls • to the smaller races of only 45—50 mm expanse and strikingly thinly scaled. The spots are smaller than in 
the surrounding races; the cell spot of hindwings is almost always absent or at the best represented by 
a faint streak. The hyaline margin reaches at the best only to the upper median nervure. Also in $ the 
black is generally pale, sometimes appearing only as if densely dusted on. Costal mark on hindwings only 
velinensis. very rarely occurs in this race. — velinensis Dhl. from the Velino and Sirente region in Mid-Italy occurs 
at an altitude of 1400—2000 m and is abt the size of the fairly large aquilensis Trti. It is more boldly 
marked with black than the former. Costal marks of forewings and cell spots of hindwings are always large. 
Hyaline margin extends to subcostal in the G and to the upper median nervure in the $. In aquilensis it 
usually extends to hindmargin. Costal spot generally widely diffuse, in the $ it very often forms a bar as 
bateanica. far as cell spot. — subsp. balcanica Bryk & Eisn. from Shar-Dagh, Kakanik in Serbia, near to the Albanian 
frontier is larger than the closely related leonhardiana Fruhst. from Bosnia and other neighbouring Balkan 
races. The $ is remarkably light, whilst the $ is darkly adumbrated and hyaline. In the G the intacta 
form, combined with benanderi markings is predominant. In specimens, which exceptionally are desintact, 
the end cell spot of hindwings is not attached. In the $ the whitish yellow ground colour predominates. Hind- 
marginal spot is generally present on forewings; between the two cell spots of forewings there is an ap- 
pression of hyaline scales, so that the two spots seem to have a white halo. Anal spots and discal spots 
generally not conjoined; costal spot of hindwings only weakly developed. Hyaline band of generally shorter 
than in surrounding races, whilst in the $ it is strikingly wide, extending to hindmargin. 
diabolicus. P. stubbendorfi Men. (Suppl. Vol. 1, p. 33—35). — subsp. diabolicus Bryk <b Eisn. from Maoreshan 
and Gaolindsy, between the stations of Progranitshnaja and Harbin on the eastern Chinese railway, caught 
in June, is a striking race with characteristics of melaina to umbratilis. Among a large series of both sexes 
inversa. only 5 specimens were found with light ground colour and these are named ab. inversa Bryk d: Eisn. The 
SS are exceedingly variable, generally more richly marked than siegfriedi Bryk, which is characterised by 
the absence of the middle cell spot. Among the GG ai ' e some with exceedingly luxuriant marking, reminding 
one of citrinarius Motsch. (Vol. 1, pi. 11 a) by the ring-shaped combination of the two cell spots. Both sexes 
baeckeri. are smaller in size than siegfriedi Bryk (pi. 4 b) from Taipinglin. — baeckeri Kotzsch from Kansu, Lhasa, 45 km 
N.W. of Seening and Nyamen, occurs in July at an altitude of 2700 m. The expands 52 mm, the $ 
50 mm, thus the race is smaller than jeholi O. B.-H. (p. 34). In general both sexes are marked the same. 
Ground colour more yellowish than most other races of name type form. Hyaline margin almost absent, 
scarcely perceptible, thfe dark antemarginal band reduced to a few conglomerations of scales, disc of forewings 
interrupta. without any markings. — $ ab. interrupta Bryk & Eisn. belongs to subsp. funkei O. B.-H. (p. 33) from the 
funkei,
