B„ burgeffi sp. n. (2 g) is a small and pretty species, reminding one of muralis. Ground colour is a buryeffi. 
very pale greenish yellow; delicately and sparsely marbled with black in the somewhat chalky scaling; markings 
very finely outlined with black; an incomplete double subbasal, a double antemedian consisting of 3 large 
archs; the intermediate area somewhat more heavily peppered with black and situate therein the round dark 
orbicular stigma with black centre and the pale reniform stigma with concave inner edge towards the base. 
Between the two stigmata there is a circular paler and less speckled area which gives the impression of being 
a pale round stigma; the edge of the claviform stigma is also indicated by a dark streak to the dentate double 
postmedian; the subterminal generally only outlined as the dark edge along the unspeckled marginal area; 
the white fringes have dark checks with black marginal streaks before the pale patches. Hindwings white, 
veins narrowly dark, with black marginal line and blackish disca! spot, a fine postmedian and antemarginal, 
the latter heavier towards anal angle, in one specimen expanding to a blackish band. According to 4

B. muscicolor Kozhant. Head and prothorax delicate green with a few blackish spots and streaks, muscicolor. 
abdomen grey. Forewings delicate green with black and white markings; basal line does not extend to inner 
margin, both median transverse lines fine, distinct, velvety black with fine white edges facing one another; orbic¬ 
ular stigma small, sharply outlined, filled with delicate green with white ringlet; reniform stigma large, coloured 
as the orbicular, both conjoined basally by a fine black and white streak, the large claviform stigma touches the 
orbicular; beyond the inner line 3 indistinct white spots: a large one at inner margin, a smaller one in 
the middle and again a larger one before the apex; marginal area beyond same a delicate green with a marg¬ 
inal line of black, inwardly white marginal lunules; fringes black, white and green. Hindwings dark, paler 
towards base with faintly indicated discal spot and black and white checked fringes. Wing expanse 30 mm.

as all the specimens of this form have considerably longer and narrower wings with more oblique outer mar¬ 
gins. The pale reddish — rabelSina Stgr. (2 h) which we are illustrating here again, emanates from Shakuh and rubellina.

uine species, chiefly because it is slightly larger on an average with sleeker and more pointed wings occurring 
next to the small perla forms flying in Spain. We have to enumerate the following forms of perla, besides the 
small perloides, which are sometimes suffused with reddish yellow and always have the same wing contour with 
truncate apex and occur in S. Tyrol as well as in Spain: — ab. dufranei n. n. (= grisea Dufrane nec Vorbr.) dufranei.
