indicated will probably not differ materially. Here we must classify ab. redlichi Krul. (Sergijevsk, Samara) redlichi. 
with red abdominal belt. 
p. 9, line 19 from top. I possess specimens identical with subsp. tianschanica Bgff. from the Tarbagatai, 
Saur mountains, from an altitude of 2800 m.

p. 9 Z. erebaea Bgff According to a specimen of a $ in my collection with a label of Haberhattee, this 
also occurs in the Taurus. 
p. 9 Z. corycia Stgr. From the original specimens of Staitdinger (2 <Jd), I consider it more correct 
to deem the specimens of Lederer from the Taurus as the type and not those from Manissa, as there is a 
doubt in regard to the latter locality. Compared to brizae Esp. the typical corycia is smaller with shorter more 
truncate forewings, the scaling is thinner and the red duller and not so bright. One of the before me shows 
the streak marks 3—5 almost intersected by the dark ground colour. 
The subspecies staudingeriaiia Reiss (= corycia Seitz) from Bjarre in the Lebanon, 1—15 June 1931 staudinge- 
(1300—1850 m altitude) as a type race, has a brighter red. The club of antennae, especially that of the 
is generally much heavier than in typical corycia from the Taurus, sometimes even the club of $ brizae Esp. is 
exceeded. In the $ the club of antennae is always less heavy than in The $ is very variable in regard to 
size. Sometimes it is as large as brizae. Also the hairs of body are denser. The legs are black. The longi¬ 
tudinal marks are well developed, never constricted or interrupted. On underside the spots are somewhat en¬ 
larged, but they are paler than on upperside. The blackish blue margins to hindwings vary in width, they are 
boldest at> apex and generally extend to inner angle. The blackish fringes are darker than the margin. The 
specimens collected by Cremona around Beirut, which are in my collection, agree in general with this dia¬ 
gnosis, but they are not larger than typical corycia. A $ ex the coll. Staitdinger, labelled Lebanon (Lederer) 
does not differ in size, the antennae are also not heavier than those of corycia , however the red is the more 
vivid shade, mentioned by Staitdinger. Unfortunately the exact locality is not ascertainable. — A corycia 
race occurring around Zebdani in Antelebanon, of which 2 specimens were captured on 17th May 1931, is deli¬ 
cately built and also more thinly scaled than standingeriana. Margins of hindwings in these specimens are 
even narrower than in typical corycia. 
p. 9, line 8 from below. The type and not the $ of subsp. adanensis Reiss is illustrated on pi. 1 h. 
II. Subgen. Silvicola Bgff. 
Bitrgeff’s closer examination of the genitalia has revealed that gallica Oberth., giesekingiana Reiss, 
nevadensis Rmb. and chaos Bgff. may be held to have genitalia that vary sufficiently to be considered species. 
Further they are more closely allied among themselves than with romeo Dup. and lineata Reiss, which them¬ 
selves have close affinities, see p. 252/3. It is therefore necessary to classify gallica Oberth. and giesekingiana 
Reiss in Subgen. Silvicola Bgff. All these species have no connection at all with brizae Esp., corycia Stgr. and 
erebaea Bgff. 
p. 9, line 3 from below. Z. gallica Oberth. In the original description Oberthur compares gallica with 
corycia Stgr. from Akbes and Eden. The streak marks in comparison with corycia are narrower, less prolonged 
and hindwings have wider margins. The general impression of gallica is delicate and faintly dusky, the wings 
are thinly scaled. I have specimens from Eigne and Le Boreon, from 1400 m altitude. 
p. 9, line 1 from below. Z. giesekingiana Reiss is closely related to gallica, but the differences in the 
genitalia are sufficient for specific separation (Burgeff). This species appears to be more thinly scaled than 
gallica. Besides being taken at Vence, it has recently been captured in June in some quantity near Grasse. 
The illustration on pi. 1 h shows rather too much blue in the ground colour and the red is somewhat too fiery. 
p. 11, line 16 from below. Z. nevadensis Rmb. Besides the degree of relationship mentioned above, 
this species also has affinities with romeo Dup. and lineata Reiss and their races. The type race emanates 
from the central areas of the Sierra Nevada in S. Spain. The specimens are generally smaller than giesekingiana 
with short truncate rounded forewings and thinly scaled. Ground colour bluish black with a faint greenish 
hue. Forewings with 5 dull red spots. Spot 1 elongated and pointed, spot 2 rounded off, almost oviform, spot 
3 very small, slightly elongated, spot 4 fairly large, often slightly conjoined with spot 2. Hindwings short, 
rounded off at apex, with a more or less wide, dull, almost hyaline margin. It expands at apex and sometimes 
projects along the costa gradually fading away. It merges with the dull red of the hindwings. The antennae, 
especially of the $ have distinct clubs. The colouration on pi. 1 k is somewhat too bright. — The specimens 
mentioned in the Supplementary Volume on p. 11, line 16 from below, from around Guarda in Portugal, are 
very close to the type race. They are also thinly scaled and with dull red. Margins of hindwings faint. In
