side. The author himself points out that according to the description his form does not differ from pales- 
brogotarus Fruhst. As however tendensis belongs to the species graeca, the two must in his opinion nevertheless 
be different. — An arsiloche with normal large black spots but almost pure white ground colour is named 
alba Cab. 
A. ala, L. — In posteronubilata Cab. the black spots of upperside of hindwings are normal and distinct, 
but the ground colour is suffused with black. 
A. ino Roll. — bipuncta Hoffm. has only 2 ocelli in marginal area on underside of hindwings. — In 
avernensis Guill. a bluish sheen is said to indicate a first stage of melanism. — In semicadnieis Gab. each spot 
of the submarginal row on upperside of hindwings is extended to the corresponding spot of the outer row, 
so that a pattern of “8” shaped marks is created. — cadnieis Cab. shows a similar development also on 
forewings. — In basinigrans Cab. the forewings are black from base almost to the middle, except along costa, 
on hindwings also costa is dark. — lambinii Rev. is very heavily blackened on upperside of both wings. 
A. lathonia L. — pupillata Mell. is a sub-form to interligata Cab. having a white dot in the middle 
of the black spot that is characteristic of the latter and which is formed by the merging of 2 spots. — In 
margareta Steph. all black spots on upperside of fore wings are considerably increased and those of inner 
margin are confluent forming a wide bar. On the other hand the delicate light marginal line on hindwings is 
wider and forms yellow-brown arcuate spots anteriorly. 
A. aglaia L. — In ovalis Cab. there is a 6 mm long oval black spot in the middle of inner margin 
of forewings, with an oval patch of the ground colour in the centre. Also the spot above same is double 
as large as normal and quadrate. 
A. niobe L. Here Verity has discovered that the name adippe L. belongs to a niobe- $ having 7 mar¬ 
ginal spots and 6 dots in the middle of wings with mother-of-pearl on underside of hindwings. Therefore besides 
the species adippe, there is still a niobe ab. adippe L. — The typical northern race from Sweden and Ger¬ 
many is relatively small and pale on upper and undersides. — The form from Vienna austriaca Vrty. is also 
small, but the ground colour of upper and undersides is warmer. Base of wings blackened on uppersides. 
often extensively so in On underside the russet spots are bright and form a pretty contrast. This race is 
not identical with sisenna Fruhst. — The race alpiumlata Vrty. without any further description is said to be 
a transition between sisenna and laranda Fruhst. Its typical locality is the Anzasca Valley on Mte. Rosa at 
800 m altitude. — alpiunilaranda Vrty. occurs on the dry, warm mountains above Lago Maggiore. It is large 
with fiery pattern on upperside and paler underside. It is not indicated in which way it differs from laranda. 
- For regularity’s sake we also have an alpiumsisenna Vrty. It is somewhat smaller and has darker fulvous 
ground colour which is slightly duller. On underside the russet and black patches are more extensive. The 
typical locality, the Cadore Valley belongs to the territory of sisenna and the name is of little importance. 
- In the W. Alps there is a small and very pale form of the fiery race pinguis Vrty.: alpiurnstricta Vrty. 
typical of the Col de Sestrieres. — On the other hand the race of the Cevennes is still brighter than pin¬ 
guis on upperside, but the black pattern varies. Underside more diffuse, more yellow and always without 
silvery spots; it is named cebennica Vrty.) typical of Concordes (1400 m). — intermedia Gillm. is a specimen 
which has only traces of the silvery spots left on underside. According to Verity this is also the case with 
Linne’s type, so that the name could be dropped if there are no other differences. Besides this we already 
have a form intermedia Reuss in the race subornatissima. 
A. adippe L. It was already mentioned on p. 225 that the species is also called cydippe L. and 
Verity would like to replace this name by esperi. Later on he has reconsidered matters and gives preference 
to the name phryxo Bgstr. Scarcely was this published when he finds that the name of adippe L. as a species 
must under all circumstances be dropped, for as already mentioned this was a niobe form; but the name adippe 
is nevertheless retained (until further notice), but one should call it adippe Rott. — The name pseudocleodoxa 
Vrty. is introduced for the form without silvery markings corresponding to niobe-eris, because in cleodoxa 
there are minute silvery dots retained in the ocelli. — No race had hitherto been created for North and Mid- 
Europe but the position has been retrieved by vulgoadippe Vrty. typical of the New Forest, England. It 
comes between specimens from Sweden and bajuvarica Spl. The green and russet patches of underside are 
about equally extensive. — bajuvarica Spl. is very fiery in colouration and undersides of hindwings are 
strikingly marked with extensive russet spots contrasting with heavy silvery markings. — parvavirescens Vrty. 
from the Serra de Estrella (Portugal) is compared with virescens Sag. from Catalonia, a description of which 
was not available to me. It is smaller than same and the colours are paler. On underside the green is duller 
and interspersed with black scales. 
A. paphia L. — fontainei Gab. has normal markings, but ground colour of hindwings is entirely 
whitish. Fore wings similarly so but only at apex. —■ minor Der. is the same as nana Steph. —- kerkirana 
Buresch from Corfu is a very large race, larger even than pandora. The A is somewhat more brightly coloured 
on upperside than typical paphia. Underside a dull green, like pandora but with heavier silvery gloss on 
bands. The $ is also like a large pandora.
