The genitalia of romeo Dup. differ from those of the races of central Europe, which vary among them¬ 
selves but which have sleeker, narrower wings with more acute apices and sleeker more pointed antennae. I 
am grouping these together under the denomination — lineata subsp. nov. It is not easy to separate these lineata. 
races from the romeg races, as for instance in the southern Alps a doubtful mixture of the 2 races occurs, that 
makes a division of the 2 groups difficult. Further a few of the eastern races cannot definitely be placed 
with either the one or the other of the groups. The genitalia of the various populations, according to Burgeff, 
vary with the individual specimen, further the genitalia of the different races vary among themselves. There¬ 
fore in spite of the differences in the genitalia for instance of romeo (Sicily) and lineata (Germany) one can 
in this case speak of a unit of species, in which in the determinate area of distribution not only the outward 
appearance but also the genitalia of the individuals are subject to variation. 
As the tvpe race of lineata (16 k) I designate the population of Dollnstein, captured mid July, embracing 
broadly the populations of the franconian Jura and central Germany, as far as same are not already separately 
denominated. They are mostly dainty insects with constricted, but rarely quite interrupted streak marks. 
Scaling is relatively thin. The S type ex my collection is illustrated. The $ type is also in my collection. 
Cotypes are to be found in the collection of Przegendza. 
The races enumerated under scabiosae on p. 10, lines 13—44 and var. eupyreruiea Bgfj. (p. 11, line 1 
at top), which also occurs on the Picos de Europa, should be classified here. 
p. 10, line 18 from below. Quite close to tenuicurva Bgjf. the var. polonia Przeg. from Szerzeniowce polonia. 
near Lemberg, should be placed. According to the description it reminds one somewhat of the italian races 
by its dense black scaling, relatively wide margin of hindwings, medium wide wings, the faintly curved margin 
of forewings with rounded apex. The antennae are fine and distend gradually to a pointed club. Maikings 
of forewings are much reduced with a strong inclination of the brilliant red spots to separation. Spots 3 and 
5 are separated in the majority of specimens. Spots 2 and 4 are narrowly conjoined. It occurs at end of June. 
The race from the N. Ukraine of lineata: var. irpenjensis Holilc <fc Reiss from Irpenj (Province of Kieff) irpenjensis. 
belongs to the narrow winged type, this characteristic is much more apparent in same than in tenuicuiva Bgjf. 
and in moravian specimens. Hindwings are narrow and pointed at apex. This is so extended and acute that 
the costa is generally almost straight and not curved. Antennae are long and sleek terminating in a point. 1 he 
reduction in the size of the streak markings is striking, the divisa forms occur very frequently. It closely re¬ 
sembles the asiatica Bgjf. from the Urals, however on account of the pointed wings, it is better linked to lineata.

with spots 2 and 4, as well as 3 and 5 of forewings more or less confluent, originate from Andermatt and Le 
Lautaret. The denominations of Vorbrodt: ab. costalielongata : spot 1 elongated along costa, ab. anaHelon- costali- 
gata: spots 2 and 4 loosely conjoined, ab. apicalielongata : spots 3 and 5 loosely conjoined, all denote merely an ^^_ a '

the Sajan mountains in July at an altitude of 3100 m altitude. 
The subsp. exsiliens Stgr. (Vol. 2, p. 24, pi. 6 c) of which the original specimen (1 <$) is said to have 
been captured at Tarbagatai and which according to Elwes also occurs in the Altai. According to the original 
description it has very transparent greenish black forewings with 5 small red spots, which are arranged in the 
same order as those of exulans, those of the latter however being much larger. Of the 2 basal spots, the upper 
one is a narrow and short streak, the lower one somewhat oval and very small. Of the 2 central spots, the one at 
the commencement of the central cell is like a large dot, whilst the one situate below same outwardly almost 
appears to be cordiform and is of about the same size as the 5th spot placed at the end of central cell. This spot 
is oval, fairly clearly outlined and also only small in size. On underside the 2 basal spots are only indicated by 
a few red hairs. Fringes, as in vanadis, are quite dark and there is no indication of any trace of a whitish or 
yellowish circumscription to the red spots. Hindwings have very wide dark margins, extending almost to 
central cell. As they are also black at base, this colour is predominant and the pale red therefore actually only 
appears in centre and at inner angle. Head and body are completely black, only the legs are partially varie¬ 
gated with yellow hairs. The illustration of exsiliens (not exiliens as stated on p. 12, line 19 from below) on 
pi. 6 c of Vol. 2 does not entirely agree with this diagnosis and it is doubtful whether Stattdinger's original 
was depicted.
