A. tau L. (Vol. 2, p. 224, pi. 35 a, b). — ab. strigulata Hoffm. are with stripes of forewings form¬ 
ed of 2 flat arcs, extending over the entire wing and the point of same, where the arcs meet is very close 
to the ocellus. — ab. radiata Lenz is a from Herrsching in Bavaria with 5 paler rays between the ocellus 
and the band of forewings. — d'-ab. macropis Lenz. represents specimens with unusually large ocelli. — hemitae- 
mia Schaw. is a $ from Hutteldorf which is very pale and sparsely dusted, only on hindwings is the black 
submarginal well developed, whilst same is missing on upper and undersides of fore wings. — ab. androides 
Hnrch. are $$ of £ colouration, which Rebel had already mentioned in Berge, without giving a denomin¬ 
ation. — obsoleta Lamb, has the black of ocelli strongly developed, especially on hindwings the characteristic 
1 -shaped mark is almost extinct and replaced by a pale blue mark of indefinite shape. — ab. huttneri 
Stich. denotes specimens in which the characteristic ocelli and T-shaped marks on forewings are entirely 
absent. The wings therefore have no markings other than the blackish, rather faint submarginal band and a 
faint dusting at base. On hindwings the discal ocelli are reduced to small black spots of pinhead size. 
Similar to caecata Schltz. — ab. impulverea Nitzsche is a A from Hermannskogel in which on the under¬ 
side of the wings, the blackish dusting which for instance occurs especially in the apical part of forewings 
and along the costal margin of hindwings in normal specimens, is completely absent. — dealbata Gunn. 
is characterised by the obsolescent white markings on underside. — ab. cuspidata Linst. is a $ of 70 mm 
expanse and usual, but somewhat darkly dusted colouration. In hindwings the ocellus is elongated to a point 
towards the margin, the blue pupil of same is missing and the T-shaped mark is grey and indistinct. 
1 he black scales are intermixed with white. Above the elongated ocellus there is a grey cloud in cellule 5 
which corresponds to a black spot on underside. On hindwings the discal line is more distinct than on fore¬ 
wings and also here the ocellus is extended to a point which touches the discal line. The blue pupil is distinct, 
the white T-shaped mark often wide and sharply pronounced. On underside the black dusting is especially 
marked on hindwings. Also all the markings are very clearly defined there. — ab. huemeri Stdf. The dark 
subterminal line that usually extends a short distance from outer margin on upperside of both wings, is either 
entirely absent, or it is at all events quite free of any trace of black scales. In its place is at best a 1 mm 
wide violet-brown, pale shade which however is more or less distinctly visible. The $ has a white stripe 
along the costa of fore wings, which is just off the margin and begins above the ocellus and ends at the white 
costal spot just before apex of wings. The ocelli incline to decrease in size. On underside the dark mark¬ 
ings which traverse the wings from costa to hind margin are entirely absent on hindwings. This is the most 
striking feature of this remarkable form. The black stripe before the outer margin is heavier and darker than 
in name type form. This form also occurs, but rarely in melaina Gross (Vol. 2, p. 224). — amurensis Jord. was 
only described in Vol. 2, p. 224, we are now giving an illustration (lid). — ab. flavorosea Hard, (lid) from 
the Ussuri territory belongs to the preceding form. Upperside of all wings is tinged pinky yellow instead 
of yellow-buff, similar to the Japanese tau, but without the shadowy marks on forewings, only a submarg¬ 
inal line on both wings. — We are now also giving illustrations of melaina Gross and the Weissmann 
form subeaeca Strd. (11c) which were only mentioned in Vol. 2, p. 224 but not illustrated. 
Addendum. 
Genus: liiMlf;i Wallgr. 
L. hansali Fldr. (Vol. 14, p. 341, pi. 59 a). This species, which is illustrated in the African part of this 
work, occurs in Morocco and thereby reaches the boundary of palaearctic territory. Otherwise the species 
is purely an ethiopian one. It is interesting to observe that also in East Africa the corresponding Ludia 
form to hansali approaches the palaearctic boundary in Eritrea. (Seitz.)
