A. sohn-retheli Pglr. (Vol. 3, p. 235, pi. 49 e). This species has meanwhile also been discovered in the 
Romagna and similarly in Greece (Parnassius). In the latter country it has been hitherto mistaken for mor- 
risii, which thus is not found in Greece as stated in Main Vohune and this should be corrected. — signata 
S.-R. (22 d) are rather darker specimens with distinctly pale veins, that stand out prominently from the 
olive-brownish ground. Also a whitish reniform stigma is visible and 2 indistinct whitish transverse lines, 
which often are noticeable in consequence of darker outlines. 
A. improba Stgr. (22 d) was omitted from Main Volume. I was able to inspect the type. Head and 
thorax white with faint yellowish hue, abdomen yellow-brown. Forewings with whitish costa and also narrowly 
at inner margin, brownish yellow, veins delicately darker and between the veins there are longitudinal grej^- 
brownish streaks. Hindwings strikingly dark black-grey with whitish fringes. Thian-shan, East Turkestan. 
A. taurica Stgr. (22 d). Also this species was omitted from Main Volume. The type has been sub¬ 
mitted to me. It is a narrow winged small species with pointed wings. Forewings ivory white to pinky grey 
sparsely peppered with dark grey, especially along the veins and occasionally with 2 dark dots at close of 
central cell. Hindwings impure whitish to grey. Abdomen fairly long. From Marash and Akbes, probably 
occurring in 2 generations. 
A. fluxa Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 236, pi. 49 f). The names enumerated under the synonyms partially refer 
to special forms, thus —- junci Bsd. is very pale straw-yellow with dusky mediana and obsolete whitish reni¬ 
form stigma, hindwings blackish; W. Germany. — nigropicta Huene has 2 black transverse lines, which con¬ 
verge at inner margin, often becoming confluent and forming a patch. The posterior line is dentate. Described 
from Estliland. — expressata Krul. is not a synonym of fluxa, but an extreme form of nigropicta with especially 
bold dentate black transverse lines. Wiatka, Kasan. —• saturata Stgr. is also not a synonym, but a form with 
much richer red colouration, according to Turner = hellmanni H.-S. which in the Main Volume is enumerated 
among the synonyms of pygmina Haw. — fasciata Krul. is a nigropicta or expressata with a dusky median area 
between the transverse lines. 
A. pygmina Haiv. (Vol. 3, p. 236, pi. 49 f). — fulva Him. is not, as stated in Main Volume: fulvous 
rufous, but a rich rufous. — neurica Steph. is not an especially large pale ochreous yellow form, but deep brown. 
— - concolor Tutt is an almost whitish form, — ochracea-suffusa Tutt is ochreous yellow with grey shading along 
the veins. — punicea Tutt is pale rose-grey and not “paler and greyer less fulvous - ’. —- punicea-suffusa Tutt is 
similar, but with grey shaded veins. —- transversa Stgr. is dark grey-red or red-brown with 2 very pronounced 
black transverse lines. From Esthland. —- africana Obth. Forewings are more reddish ochre with faintly visible 
central shade. It is very distinct by the invariable white hindwings, in contrast to the brown hindwings of 
type. Algeria. 
A. sounkeana Mats, is somewhat like pygmina, but easily distinguishable by the 2 cell spots. Fore¬ 
wings dark grey, with a darker shade at base; one black dot in place of the orbicular and two for the reni¬ 
form stigma, the latter has a somewhat whitish outer edge. On margin there is a row of black dots. Hind¬ 
wings pale grey with silky gloss, veins and margin somewhat darker. Wing expanse: 23 mm. Hokkaido, Japan. 
A. extrema Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 236, pi. 49 g). —- radiata Wgnr. shows longitudinal streaks created by the 
appression of black scales along the veins. In regard to the german localities, it should be remarked that the 
species is found in western Pomerania, around Stettin and then again in central and southern Baden and 
around Munich. Besides it is found in Switzerland and near Paris. The larva resembles that of hellmanni, 
but has a black head and it feeds in the stems of Galamagrostis epigeios. 
A. morrisii Dale (Vol. 3, p. 236, pi. 49 g). —■ impura Schwing. (22 d) is dusted with grey-black, forming 
patches between the veins of disc. In outer area these incline to become longitudinal. — obscura Schwing. is 
a uniformly dusky grey-black. The species is also found around Vienna. Further Pietsch captured a quite 
typical $ on 5th June 1912 at Wehlau in F. Prussia. He has made me a present of the specimen which is new 
to that district. 
A. dulcis Obth. (22 f) described as Argyrospila, but probably better classified here. Forewings on upper- 
side silkily glossy yellowish white, often with faintly reddish hue. Veins delicately marked with brownish 
black and they seem to protrude slightly. Hindwings white. Underside dull brownish black, inner margin 
and margin yellowish white, veins grey-black. The $ is smaller than the <$ and has narrower wings and rela¬ 
tively very long abdomen. Geryville in Algeria, in August and September. 
A. suzukii Mats. (22 f). Forewings pale brownish yellow, sparsely peppered with black-brown, there 
is a black-brown spot both subbasally and in centre of cell. Both transverse lines quite extinct, undulate, 
angulated on vein 1. On margin there are some dark dots. Hindwings somewhat paler with dark discal spot. 
Wing expanse: 26 mm. Honsho, Kyoto. 
110 a. Genus: Rosen la Schaw. 
Proboscis well developed; palpi covered with woolly hairs and pointed, straightly projecting terminal 
segment, extending beyond the clypeus. Antennae of A with long bi-pectinations, those of $ with short ser¬ 
rations. Thorax with dense hairs, crested on top. Abdomen extending beyond the inner angle of hindwings.
