The ephialtes larva feeds on C'oronilla varia L. and in the South Tyrol besides also on Coronilla emerus 
L. A cross-breeding of albaflavens (Bolzano) X borealis (Magdeburg) produced half in the medusa form and half 
in the athamanthae form. 
Z. araratica Stgr. (Vol. 2, p. 24. plate 5 k) from Ararat in Armenia is at present mentioned as a species. 
Z. dorycnii O. (Vol. 2, plate 5 d) from the Urals, Taurus, Armenia, Caucasus, North Persia. To the 
description of the type race from Russia (the Urals?) has to be added: Antennae and legs unicoloured blue- 
black. Forewings steel-green with violet brown fringes and 6 vivid red small spots. The spots are confluent 
on underside. Hindwings vivid red. Margin blue-black, narrower in the $ than in the <$■ As an aberration 
ab. quinquemacula Bgjf. is mentioned, without the 6th spot; further the form crocea Schultz (Vol. 2, p. 442). — 
The var. wagneriana Reiss from Sultan Dagli near Ak-Shehir is generally smaller than typical dorycnii and has 
considerably fainter blue gloss (instead of green gloss) on forewings. Ail fore wings spots are red, but generally 
smaller than in dorycnii, especially in the <$. The black margin to hindwings is occasionally very wide. — From 
Hadjin in the Taurus (as type) and from Erivan in Russian Armenia we have subsp. senescens Stgr. (Vol. 2, 
p. 23, plate 5 e). It is larger and with narrower wings than typical dorycnii. Spots 4 and 5 in dark specimens 
occur in the form of vertical streaks. Hindwings with wider black margins with a larger bulge. Spots reddish 
white, in worn specimens, white. Specimens with a red sixth spot from the Taurus are ab. sextarubra Bgjf. and 
those with entirely red spots from Erivan are ab. rubrimacula Bgff. The var. Crimea (Bang-Haas i. 1.) Bgff. 
(4 1) from Kertch in the Taurus .is of half size with wide wings and very brightly coloured, with narrow margins 
to hindwings and roundish spots. The specimen illustrated is from the collection of Bgrgeff. 
Z. joharsnae Le Cerf from Morocco (Great Atlas), Jebel Tachdirt, 3000—3200 m: head black, palpi 
ochre-yellow; antennae blue-black, slightly clavate, truncate at tip. Collar and scapulae ochre-yellow; abdomen 
blue-black on top with scarlet red belt over 3 segments, tip ochre-yellow as also is the underside of abdomen 
and legs. Forewings are densely scaled, glossy green with 6 ochre-yellow spots. Spots 1 and 2 are oval, quite 
sejiarate, 3, 4 and 5 are rounded off, forming a triangle. Spot 6 is in the shape of a narrow band, spot 2 is 
conjoined with spot 4. Underside with sparse scaling, spots enlarged and somewhat diffuse. Hindwings are 
scarlet with a wider black margin from apex to inner margin and narrowly margined with black at inner 
margin. The B illustrated is a cotype from the National Natural History Museum in Paris. — The subsp. 
turbeti Le Cerf (4 m) discovered on 1st July 1929 in Morocco (Middle Atlas), ich Bou Naceur, 3300—3400 m, 
is also illustrated from a q cotype from the National Natural History Museum in Paris. It has a faint bluish 
sheen on forewings, the red is brighter, more carmine red. The spots of forewings are more yellow white, spot 
1 on costa carmine red, spot 2 with a few carmine red scales, the round spots 3, 4 and 5 standing in triangle 
formation have fairly large carmine red dots in the middle, so that the yellow of the spots looks like a circum¬ 
scription, spot 6 also has similarly a narrow carmine red stripe. On underside the carmine red represses the 
yellow of the spots much more strongly than on upperside. The hindwings are slightly more widely margined 
with blue black. Underside of abdomen and tip of same shaded with blue black. Legs somewhat darker.
