P. nana Huf n. (Vol. 3, p.73, pi. 17 c). — leucostigma Haw. is too reddish yellow in the illustration. We leuco- 
are therefore illustrating a very typical specimen from Gran Sasso (14 g). The form occurs frequently in the 
higher Swiss Alps. — variegata Vorbr. is a striking form from Buren, the central area being suffused with red- variegata,. 
brown, except for the orbicular stigma and outer area. The yellow basal spot is deep orange. — schultzi Rebel schulbi. 
is a dark form with indistinct stigmata, striking grey-white outer band and blackish shaded marginal area 
beyond the sub terminal. 
P. glauca Kleem. (Vol. 3, p. 74, pi. 17 d). — lappo Dwp. besides being of paler and duller colouration, lappo. 
is very small. As synonym we have to add: frigida Zett. (teste Nordstrom), which has no connection with 
L. dovrensis with which it was erroneously classified. — paupercula Pglr. (14 g) is a large, sleek, very pale olive- paupcr- 
brownish form from Mongolia (Aksu). Another central asiatic form is: — piingeleri form. n. (14g) similarly 
larger but with remarkably wide wings, paler and duller grey, in consequence of which the subterminal 
area and 2 stigmata appear more unicoloured. Issyk-kul, Alexander mountains. Types in the coll. Rungeler 
in the Berlin Museum. 
P. lamuta Herz (Vol. 3, p. 255) was classified in the Genus Sympistis in Main Volume, but is certainly lamuta. 
a Polia. Oberthur unnecessarily created the Genus: Anartodes for it. It is a purer slate-blue than the better 
known rangnowi. Orbicular and reniform stigmata conjoined on mediana by a white streak. Marginal band 
of hindwings narrower. Siberia (Jakutsk). — rangnowi Pilng. (14 g). Forewings resemble those of a dark and rangnowi. 
monotonous glauca, but wings are wider. Markings somewhat more distinct than in lamuta, claviform stigma 
black, sometimes with slightly paler centre. Orbicular stigma extinct, reniform stigma enlarged laterally on 
both sides at lower end, outwardly whitish. Small black triangular spots occur before the indistinct, barely 
dentate subterminal line. Hindwings white with wide black marginal band, grey-black costa, dark central 
spot and white fringes. Sweden (Lappmark, Lulea) occurring at end of June and early July, flying by day 
in damp forest clearings. — tunkinski 0. B.-H. has forewings inclined to greenish grey with dusky central area, tunkinski. 
the outer two-thirds of mediana white to angle of reniform stigma. The latter has a straight outer edge, out¬ 
lined in white. Hindwings with marginal band expanding towards anal angle, discal spot bolder in the form 
of a streak. Sajan mountains, S.W. of Irkutsk, Weiss mountains at an altitude of 2000 m. Occurring in July. 
P. retrusa Pilng. (Vol. 3, p. 74). We are illustrating the type (14 h). The Stoetzner expedition brought retrusa. 
back a number of specimens from Szechuan. 
P. calberlai Stgr. (Vol. 3, p. 74, pi. 17 e). — eburnea Sohn-Bethel (14 h) are aberrative specimens with eburnea. 
ivory-white ground colour and barely indicated darker markings. Only the space between stigmata forms a 
dark triangle. Marginal line dark brown and interrupted, fringes pale with dark checks. Hindwings grey- 
brown with diffuse, wide whitish outer margin. From the Roman Campagna. — decrepita Did. are transitions, decrepita. 
all markings considerably reduced and fainter, so that only indications are left. Ground colour paler, inclined 
to grey, central area only slightly darker. Occurs everywhere among the main type form in Italy, up to 1200 m 
altitude. — teriolensis Dhl. (14 li) is the race from the Tyrol. It is more robust, with wider wings, more boldly teriolensis. 
coloured, the central area pronouncedly darker with increased black markings, tone of ground colour greyer. 
This form especially occurs in the Bolzano district in 2 broods. 
P. cappa Him. (Vol. 3, p. 74, pi. 17 e). This easily recognisable species, that varies very little, also cuppa. 
occurs in May in Algeria (Sidi bel Abbes). 
P. Corsica Rmbr. (Vol. 3, p. 74, pi. 17 e) is certainly a genuine species and not a form of serena, as has Corsica. 
constantly been assumed by various authors, such as Hampson, Rothschild etc. It is much more olive-grey 
and very constant. The illustration in Main Volume was rather indistinct and we are giving a fresh illustration 
here (14 h). 
P. serena Schiff. (Vol. 3, p. 74, pi. 17 f). — obscura Stgr. is well depicted in Main Volume. It may be obscura. 
called a race in its localities at Zermatt and Bormio, occurring elsewhere as an aberration. — weissi form. n. weissi. 
(14 h) denotes a form that resembles Corsica, but which is always paler and less brightly marked, with much 
paler hindwings. It occurs probably in all more southerly localities and specimens are before me from Cata¬ 
lonia (Barcelona). 
P. spinaciae View. (Vol. 3, p. 75, pi. 17 f). — subsp. faroulti Rothsch. (= africana Oberth.) has a more faroulU. 
reddish brown tone. It occurs almost throughout the year in N. Africa (14 h). 
P. drenowskii Rbl. should be classified next to spinaciae. It is much larger and can be distinguished drenowskii. 
by a pale oblique patch in centre of forewings and grey-white hindwings having blackish dusky margins. Thorax 
and forewings ashy grey with whitish admixture. The basal area irrorated with grey-black, outlined by the 
lobular anterior transverse stripe. Stigmata small, reniform stigma indistinct, claviform stigma quite absent. 
The white transverse band commences before centre of costa and extends and expands to the fold. There are 
a few orange-yellow scales in basal and discal areas and around the stigmata. Subterminal line whitish, fringes 
with dark checks. Wing expanse: 37 mm. Albania (Alibotus) occurring in July. 
P. maderae Baker (Vol. 3, p. 75, pi. 18 c). This species has now also been captured at Teneriffe (Oro- maderae. 
tava) by Otto Stertz.
