In the $ the bands are further reduced, the white band of hind wings interrupted and chain-like. On under¬ 
side the ocellus in cellule 3 is absent on forewings. —- Of ah. hakutozana Mats, so far only a single from hakulozana. 
Mount Hakuto in Corea has been captured. It differs from coreana by the much smaller ocelli, bi-pupilled 
white, with the exception of eyespot in cellule 2 of fore wings and cellule 3 of hind wings. Basal area on under¬ 
side of forewings is reddish brown to the cell with a whitish spot in the middle, the whitish band is wider 
and not interrupted. All ocelli of underside are pupilled, except the one in cellule 4 of hindwings. — subsp. 
rishirizana Mats, from Rishiri in the Kurile Islands is close to sachalinensis Mats. (p. 149). The reddish ocelli rishirizana. 
on all wings of E are smaller and without pupils. On underside of forewings the ocellus in cellule 2 is 
larger than the corresponding spot on upperside. Hindwings have a wider whitish band and eyespot in cellule 
4 is smaller and without pupil. In the $ the ocelli in cellules 2 and 3 are minute and almost extinct. No 
ocelli in red-brown band of hindwings, only in cellule 4 a minute dot. — (J-ab. daisetsuzana Mats, captured daiselsu- 
in large numbers on Mount Daisetsu in the province Ishikari (Hokkaido). It is characterised by 3 ocelli and zana -

sachalinensis Mats. (p. 149); it varies from same by the smaller ocelli of hindwings and the eyespot in 
cellule 5 is strikingly smaller than the one in cellule 4. The fuscous band of hindwings is dissolved into spots.

caeca Kard. occurring at the same time and in the same locality has the apical ocellus of forewings without 
pupil or with 2 quite faintly indicated white dots. 
E. lappona Esp. (Suppl. 1, p. 151). caeca Osth. and caeca Favre are synonymous with caeca Strd.

of 1400—2100 m is a variety of ottomana H.-Schdjf., it has a distinctly yellowish coloured underside of fore¬ 
wings, instead of the blue-grey of ottomana, the underside of hindwings is more sepia-brown and the exceed¬ 
ingly sharply dentate band is prominent. — The race retyezatica Diosz. from the Retyezat Mountains at retyezatica. 
an altitude of 1500—2100 m from mid-July to mid-August, replaces the name type. The expands 28—32 mm, 
the $ 30—35 mm. The S' has a fuscous band on forewings extending to lower median nervure. Both apical 
eyespots are conjoined, fairly large and with distinct white pupils. Bands of hindwings complete and not 
separated, the 3 eyespots always with white centres. Underside of hindwings pale violet-grey with band 
and outer margin fairly heavily dusted with brown. The $$ are distinctly paler with impure yellow to fulvous 
band on fore wings, which extends almost to hindmargin. Fore wings always with 2 large apical eyespots which 
merge together. The band projects inwards between lower and upper median nervures in 3 rays extending 
to the disc, it always has 3 ocelli with distinct white pupils. Often there are 2 eyespots with fine white pupils 
on outer edge of band of forewings in both sexes. Hindwings are angular in $, rarely so in E- Underside 
of forewings pale yellow with reddish hue from base to marginal band. The band itself outlined delicately 
with fuscous inwards and outwards. Costa and outer margin dusted with brown. 
E. afer Esp. (p. 152). — The race kryniaea Shelj. originates from the mountain chain Jajla near Jalta krymaea. 
in Crimea. It is closest to the name type form, but differs by heavier and more extensive greyish white 
scaling. On upperside of forewings this covers the costa to base of wings, the apical area to the disc and 
the entire outer area of the wing to hindmargin, it extends from outer margin to well over the row of ocelli. 
This scaling is dense and covers over the dark ground colour, so that the wings appear almost whitish grey. 
On hindwings this grey-white scaling is much sparser and is observed between margin and row of ocelli. On 
underside we. find the same grey-white scaling, especially on forewings, whilst there are only traces of same 
in the outer area of hindwings. 
11. Genus: Melauargia Meig. 
M. galathea L. Forms devoid of eyespots on underside have already been named galene O. and galenides 
Preiss. — Transition forms have now been named seniigalene Std., where eyespots are not quite extinct and semigalene. 
the relative form in procida is semigalenides Std. Both occur in S. Tyrol and S. Italy and are very rare ac- semigaleni- 
cording to the author. — Also among galinthias Fruhst. from the Sorrent very rarely specimens are taken 
not having plain yellowish white undersides, but with faint traces of eyespots. This is described as a pretty 
form and named pseudoulbrichi Std. Along similar lines there is plenty of scope for the creation of innumerable pseudo- 
new names. Even if specimens with indications of eyespots are very rare, they may now and then be found ulbrichi. 
among many of the other races. — Sylvia Rocci is the race from the plains around Genoa and differs from sylvia.
