of Berlin, on which all the brown markings are more or less replaced by black, also the marginal edge of all 
wings is blackish inwardly towards the pale band, reddish on hindwings. In place of the zigzag band on 
forewings there is a narrow reddish line which is only distinctly incurved at one spot towards the inner 
margin. At apex there are similarly a few supernumerary red scales. Underside corresponds to upperside in 
colouration and markings. — luteata Rocci from Piedmont is a <$ which has ochreous yellow basal area in- luteaia.

enlarged, especially on the inner side. The $$ have hindwings with faintly roseate hue. — caeca Stdtterm. caeca.

— ab. josephinae Schaw. (11 a) is a $ from Chiclana, Spain, with very dark blackish bands which are of quite josephinae. 
similar formation to those of spini. — ab. atromaculata Stdtterm. has the red of the apical spot almost com- atromacu- 
pletely replaced by black, which continues in the marginal band. The black costal spot is much enlarged 
and conjoined with the apical spot by a faint streak. Marginal band of hindwings is similarly black, paler to¬ 
wards the anal region. The yellow ringlets of ocelli on all wings are reduced, the blue crescents on the other 
hand enlarged. Wings are dusted with blackish, but nevertheless retaining their hyaline character. Markings 
are distinct, but all the lines show a tendency to spread out and become confluent. — ab. homopliora Bryk homophora. 
is an aberration of the veins. The 2nd cubitalis on all wings is forked, i. e. there is a supernumerary branch 
nervule. 
A. Hybrids with pyri. 
hybr. macrotaos Rbl. (11a) is a new name for hybr. major 0. (Vol. 2, p. 223), which became necessary macrotaos. 
for purposes of classification and nomenclature. We are giving an illustration of this hybrid. 
hybr. witzenmanni Gschw. = pyri A X atlantica shape of wings in both sexes as those of atlantica. witzenman- 
In size the hybrid only exceeds that of the female parent slightly. Underside about midway between that 
of the parents. On account of the shorter spur on the fore tibiae and smaller size it differs from: 
hybr. atlantpyri Niep. = atlantica X pyri shape of wings has rather less inclination towards atlan- atlantpyri. 
tica. atlantpyri differs from numida Aust. (Vol. 2, p. 221) on account of a dark stripe of aboiit 2 mm breadth 
standing off fairly well in the disc on upperside of hindwings and which extends from costal margin to ocel¬ 
lus. This is absent in numida. numida is probably a secondary or tertiary hybrid with pyri Schiff. as female 
parent. 
$ hybr. julii Gschw. = pyri A X spini $. Neuration is midway between that of pyri, spini and pa- julii. 
vonia. Wing contour inclines to resemble spini on forewings, but pyri on hindwings. Was bred from a larva 
found at Hohenau in Lower Austria. 
hybr. standfussi Wish, (lib) and daubi Stdfs. (lid) which were both mentioned in Vol. 2, p. 223, standfussi. 
are now being illustrated here, similarly the pale grey specimens of daubi, which have been denominated daubi. 
emiliae Stdfs. (11 c). 
hybr. herberti Ronn. = hybr. schaufussi Stdfs. A ( = pavonia- $ X spini- Q) X pavonia is midway herberti. 
between pavonia and spini. 
hybr. gremmingeri Eh. = hybr. herberti Ronn.-B X herberti as the parent forms. grem- 
mingeri. 
hybr. grossei Eh. = hybr. herberti Ronn.-$ x pavonia more closely resembles pavonia. grosser. 
hybr. hedvicae Cast. = hybr. schaufussi Stdf. A X hybr. grossei Eh. ^ has characteristics of spini. hedvicae. 
hybr. emiliana Cast. = hybr. hedvicae Cast. C X hybr. hedvicae- $: has characteristics of spini. emiliana. 
hybr. pokornae Cast. = hybr. bornemanni Stdf. <$ X hedvicae Cast. has chracateristics of spini. pokornae. 
*) This form is most probably the same as reducta Scliliz. (Yol. 2, p. 223).
