asteria-rebeli Wnuk. — altaica Stgr. 
athalia-fruhstorferi Wnuk. = alatauica Fruhst. 
athalia-hispanica Wnuk. = iberica Stgr. 
athalia iberagigas Vrty. = iberica Stgr.

cinxia-carpetana Vrty. = castiliana Trti.

phoebe-wagneri Wnuk. = alatauica Wgn. 
According to Verity kenteana Seitz (Vol. 1, pi. 57 a) and tinica Fruhst. are synonymous. Further in 
his opinion niphonica Btlr., hathilda Fruhst. and sutsclmna Fey. are the same.

T. maculata Brem db Grey (Vol. I, p. 226, pi. 71 e). — stoetzneri Braes, is a melanic form. The spots stocizneri. 
of forewings merge forming heavy black streaks and the yellow ground colour is only slightly retained at base 
and between the veins near the outer margin. The two dark basal spots in the light patch are not enlarged. 
Base of hindwings completely dark. A yellow area retained before the margin that extends towards the anal 
angle and along the inner margin to base. The spots therein are not enlarged. Peking.

A. aphirape Hbn. In Vol. 1, p. 227 the form tomyris Hbst. was dealt with as being a synonym. Accord¬ 
ing to information kindly supplied by Dr. v. Dubois-Reymond there are actually differences on underside, 
tomyris Hbst. from E. Prussia is much smaller, darker on upper and undersides and the pattern of upperside tomyris. 
very clear, ossianus Hbst. is still smaller and markings diffuse. On the other hand the small asiatic forms 
are paler and with delicate marking, helmina Fruhst. is probably synonymous with tomyris. — The race cere- ceretanensis. 
tanensis Deslandes occurs in the East Pyrenees, i. e. very far south for this species, but certainly only in 
higher altitudes. The 1 is a warmer russet on upperside than type and the black markings around the cell 
slightly increased. The fulvous middle band on upperside of hindwings is edged outwardly along its whole 
length by black. The ocelli between lower and upper median nervures and also between discoidal and sub¬ 
costal nervures have a yellow-red nebula. Underside is also more lively in colour. The $ differs less from A 
than customary. Ground colour is not darker, markings therefore more distinct than in type. Marginal lunules 
at times still paler than ground colour. — In ab. sublatefasciata Best, the fulvous band behind the base is sublate- 
quite extinct and the area up to the discal band is greenish fulvous, the pattern there only being indicated fasciata. 
by a few black scales. — Among haverkampfi one comes across specimens dusted with blackish, that are 
named melanira Cab. melanira. 
A. selene Schiff. ----- fufura Reuss denotes a few specimens bred from the same region, in which under- futura. 
side of forewings is marked in just the same way as hindwings. — medionigrans Cab. has the black spots me .' 
on upperside of forewings combined forming a middle band of irregular outline. — vanescens Lamb, has paler vanescens. 
ground colour. Besides all black spots of forewings are extinct excepting those at disco-cellular and a single 
cell spot. The black submarginal spots merge with the submarginal lunules. On hindwings the marginal spots 
are normal, the others are absent. halflanfsi Cab. is a less extreme thalia Hbn., which was already dealt halflantsi. 
with in Vol. 1. Outer margin of fore wings is radially black with light submarginal spots therein. The rest 
of the black pattern is extinct except for a large black spot at disco-cellular and in middle of cell. Hindwing 
is black except for a few light submarginal dots. — semipallida Nessling is a less pronounced form like the semipallida. 
previous one. Forewings with very pale ground colour, spots fairly normal. Hindwing is darker than normal 
owing to an, extension of the black pattern. — ab. hoffmanni-d' Kiefer has uppersides of all wings with heavy hoffmanni.

A. euphrosyne L. — zehlae Bubois-Reymond is an isolated form occurring in the Masurian Lake di- zehlae. 
strict. It is small and dark, like extreme northern and asiatic forms. Pattern of upperside precise and not 
diffuse as in answina Fruhst. Underside is duller and ground colour not so clear as in specimens from Berlin.

A. pales Schiff. — primula Rowl.-Br. is the only aberration of paler hue, all the others incline to primula. t 
adumbration. But here also the creamy white ground colour only extends over the forewings, hindwing is 
normal. — zehlae Bubois-Reymond is a small arsilache. Undersides of hindwing more unicoloured and duller, zehlae. 
On the whole the form resembles the still smaller lapponica Stgr. Zehlau-Bruch. — Higgins holds the opinion 
that the genitals of graeca Stgr. (Vol. 1, pi. 68 b), which has hitherto been deemed to be a race of pales, 
differ sufficiently, to classify same as a species. — Belonging as forms to same we have balcanica Rbl. and 
the new tendensis Higg. In the latter the spots of upperside appear even heavier than in balcanica especially tendensis.

submarginal ocelli. Upperside of $ somewhat paler than <£, hindwings somewhat deeper greenish on under-
