Genus: Colisis F. 
striata. G. palaeno L. (Suppl. Vol. 1, p. 107). — ab. striata Mellaerts from Belgium is classified to europome 
Esp. (Vol. 1, 25 a, 6). The marginal band of forewings that is usually black is suffused with the ground 
colour and has a greenish tone. The intersecting veins remain black. Hindwings normal. 
porrccta. G. phicomone Esp. (Suppl. Vol. 1, p. 109). — ab. porrecta E. W. Hrch. from the Strengmatt in Canton 
Uri is a $ in which the light submarginal spots of forewings form a wide pale band, that tapers off towards 
the hindmargin and which is of impure blue-green colouration. Hindwings have a narrow, indistinct marginal 
marking on upperside and the pale area next to same forms a sort of a very wide band with a sharp 
outline towards the base. Underside of forewings shows the apex of wing less extensively and intensively 
su,'fused with yellow than in name type form. Wing contour is remarkable owing to the straightness of the 
outermargin. 
suzukii. G. hyale L. (Suppl. Vol. 1, p. 110— 111). — ab. suzukii Mats, is a $ from Kyoto with both wings 
quite red-brown, cliscal sj)ot is darker, costal margin narrowly reddish, like the fringes. Basal area of hind¬ 
wings darkly powdered. Underside of forew'ings dark brown, narrowly dark yellow at costa and widely so at 
apex. Base of dark yellow hindwings is blackish, discoidal spot whitish. 
aufderliei- C. christophi Gr.-Grshm. (Suppl. Vol. 1, p. 110). — The race described as aufderheidei Kotzsch from 
d ei - Margalan in Turkestan would appear to be identical with novosiltzovi Avin (p. 110) according to the descrip¬ 
tion of the $. The discal spot of forewings is the same colour as the ground colour, whilst it is red-brown in the 
name type form; the dark margin is somewhat wider and the underside paler, especially that of the forewings. 
baeckeri. C„ baeckeri Kotzsch occurs in July and August at altitude of 2800 m on the pass of Dingtsiang-miao 
in the Richthofen mountains. The $ has an expanse of 41—45 mm, the $ 42 — 48 mm. Upperside of <$ is 
almost exactly like G. thisoa Men. (p. 112) from Shakuh in Persia. The dark marginal band of both wings 
varies very much in regard to width, especially on hindwings, where the inner edge can be straight or notched 
The dark cell spot of fore wings varies in size, the red central spot of hindwings is absent or unobtrusive. Fringes 
in both sexes rosy-red. Underside more greenish than in thisoa. Submarginal spots only faintly indicated, 
central spot of hindwings small with silvery centre. The $$ are striking on account of heavy adumbration 
and very dusky specimens occur, whilst the majority are blackish green with lighter greenish submarginal 
and discal spots. The latter are often streak-like and the black middle spot is situate in one of these streaks. 
Hindwings have similar submarginal spots, whilst the orange central spot stands out sharply from the other¬ 
wise dark hindwing. Underside of forewings impure whitish, greenish yellow at apex. Ground colour of 
hindwings somew r hat. darker than in <§. The prothorax, antennae and palpi of both sexes are rosy red. Margin 
of all wings, especially of E bulge out-more pronouncedly than in thisoa. 
orientalis. G. sulitelma Auriv. (Suppl. Vol. 1, p. 113). In place of orientalis Gr.-Grshm. (Vol. 1, p. 67) sub- 
orientis. stitute orientis Wnuk. for reasons of priority. 
violascens. G. chryotheme Esp. (Suppl. Vol. 1, p. 113—114). — ab. violascens ( Rbl. i. 1.) Galv. is a 3 from the 
surroundings of Vienna having a reddish violet sheen on upperside, especially on hindwings. 
myrmidone- G. croceus Fourcr. (Suppl. Vol. 1, p. 114 — 115). — ab. mynuidoneformis Grub, are $$ with heavily 
for mis. yellow blotched outer margin on fore and hindwings. The forewing has 7—8 yellow spots. — ab. obsoleta 
Grub, are also $$ having the yellow spots in outer margin heavily reduced, they form a transition to poveli 
pos'tero- Aign. (Vol. 1, p. 68). — The $-ab. postero-pseudomas Kraut belongs to the 2nd generation. Forewings do 
pscudomas. no (- vary, whilst on hindwings the dark marginal band is so exceedingly wide towards base of wings that the 
pundella. row of greenish yellow spots is quite submerged by black scales. — ab. punctella Braun from Belgium has 
the black cell spot of forewings small, partially covered with scales of ground colour, so that it is almost 
helicinoides. extinct. — ab. helicinoides Braun are of very pale yellow-green ground colour and form a counterpart 
derennei. to $-ab. helicina Oberth. (Vol. 1, p. 68). — $-ab. derennei Braun has a large and black median spot and 
. yellow veins at apex. Marginal spots of forewings are reduced in number and size. Presumably scarcely 
naieri. differs from helena H.-Schdff. (p. 115). — ab. naieri E. W. Hrch. is a $ from Kloten in Canton Zurich, it 
has an orange-yellow upperside and the spots of marginal band are reduced to 2 and it is widely conjoined 
with the middle cell spot along the lower median nervure. Upperside of hindwing is of dull orange ground 
colour without yellowish hue, marginal spots only faintly indicated. Inspite of the size of the central spot, 
same is unobtrusive. Underside normal, except for the “8” which has only a single edge, instead of double. 
nervosa. — ab. nervosa Pionn. has veins of upperside of forewings very heavily scaled with black and throughout 
their entire course they stand out prominently, so that the specimens have a peculiar appearance. Besides 
subtus- this half of the wings are powdered over with black. — d'-ab. subtuscuneata Galv. The rusty red, ante- 
cuneata. marginal spots on underside of hindwings project in cuneiform shape inwards and merge in the cell with 
the central “8” mark. This has a rusty red halo extending inwards in two short dentations. Stolzalpe near 
semi-demar- Murow. — ab. semi-demarginata Pionn. has submarginal spots extinct on underside of hindwings. — ab. 
ginata. puiiata E. W. Hrch. is a $-ab. helicina Oberth. with heavily blackened margin to hinclwing, so that the
