uralensis. The var. uralensis H.-Schciff. from the Urals, does not belong to centaureae Fisch.-Wald., as has been 
assumed hitherto, but is a cynarae race. Herrich-Schaffer has described and illustrated a small specimen 
($) with confluent spots 2 and 4, as well as 3 and 5. Specimens from Kalkanowa, S. Urals, 830 m altitude, 
correspond in general to Herrich-Schaffer's description. The specimens are thinly scaled with dull red. 
Usually the 5 spots of forewings are separated and the wings are rather more densely scaled than hindwings. 
'Fhe latter have a wide, blackish, almost hyaline margin, wider in $. Many specimens are relatively small, 
often not being larger than meliloti, others, especially $$ are larger. Frequently spots 2 and 4, as also spots 
3 and 5 are approximated on the veins and occasionally they may be conjoined. Ground colour of inclined 
to bluish, of $ more to greenish. Abdominal belt in most of the only visible laterally, whilst in the $$ 
it is complete on upperside, however in all specimens it is open ventrally. 
rubrianaia. p. 15, line 19 from below. To var. pusztae Bgff. we have to add ab. rubrianata Bgff. (Vol. 2, p. 442). 
taurinorum. p. 16, line 2 from top. According to Verity var. taurinorum Vrty. from Turin represents a transition 
tusca. race between veronicae and turatii. — Verity describes var. tusca from Pian di Mugnona (Florence) as type 
and further from Palazzuolo di Romagna (700 m altitude), which as the preceding form must be considered 
a race of subsp. turatii ; tusca, just as taurinorum, is smaller than turatii and about as large as humilis. The 
degree of the scaling is about halfway between that of turatii and taurinorum. The ground colour of the $ 
is always glossily bluish, whilst that of the $ is dull dark grey and not milky greenish grey as in taurinorum. 
The dark margins of hindwing are just as narrow as in taurinorum and hereby the two races differ from turatii , 
as well as humilis, with which turatii has most resemblance, var. tusca was only discovered in 1921 in Florence, 
although Stefanelli, Verity and Qiterci had collected intensively there for years, in fact for tens of years. 
1 he reason for this is that turatii and its races occur in strictly restricted localities and the flight of the is 
limited to a few days, after which they disappear. The as I was able personally to observe in the hills 
around Genoa, scarcely fly at all. 
p. 16, line 22 from top. Z. centaureae Fisch.-Wald., described exclusively from S. Russia, type race 
being from Sarepta, has been ascertained to occur in the S. Urals and in the immediate and more distant sur¬ 
roundings of Kieff, flying along with cynarae races (although strictly separated from same) occurring there. 
Both species have separate areas of distribution. Bartel already in 1902 laid stress on the specific charact¬ 
eristics of centaureae. An examination of the genitalia has confirmed this. Whether the population of Nijni- 
Uralsk (pi. 2 a of this Supplement) differs from the race type from Sarepta, cannot be definitely ascertained 
from the few specimens at my disposal, but it is probably very close to same. 
p. 16, line 22 from below. The var. ukrainica Shelj. occurs as the type at Kirillovskije ovragi near 
Kieff. It has also been captured at Kamenka (not far from Dymer).

p. 16, line 13 from below. Z. achilleae Esp. Roger Verity considers fulvia F.*) to be the oldest deno¬ 
mination of the species and refers in this respect to Esper, who in his original description of achilleae mentions 
fulvia as being the same insect. Also Borkhattsen and Ochsenheimer presume that fulvia F. is identical 
with achilleae Esp. Kirby proposed a correction in this regard in his Catalogue of 1892. The race type of 
fulvia emanates from Austria. As I have not been able to establish the fact of the identity of fulvia and achil¬ 
leae by a comparison of the Fabricius collection and his catalogue of labels, I hold it to be best to retain the 
denomination of this species as hitherto. 
Burgeff grouped together under the denomination ab. confluens Dziurz. (Vol. 2, p. 27) all kinds of 
forms of confluent spots. I consider this to be a more simple solution than giving each form of confluence a 
separate name, as Vorbrodt has done. I therefore place the denominations of Vorbrodt: cestalielongata, 
analielongata, analiconfluens and apicalimaculata as synonyms to ab. confluens Dziurz. Vorbrodt also esta- 
sexmaciJa-blishes an ab. sexmaculata with 6-spotted forewings. — Should the names utilised hitherto for aberrations:

teneunco. be used to denominate races, the name: ab. teneunco now created by Verity may be accepted for the type 
acumine. race and all races in which the axe-shaped mark is especially well developed. The name ab. acumine Vrty. 
can be selected to apply to specimens with small round spot 5 that diffuses in a streak in the direction of 
spot 6 that is missing. Further names by Verity: uncoflabello and crasseunco denote transition forms to 
teneunco. 
calcdoniae. A very striking race is subsp. caledoniae Vrty. (= caledonica Beiss) from W. Scotland, which Verity 
has described from the Isle of Mull and which I possess from the peninsular of Morven. It has most resemblance 
to alpestris Bgff. from the Alps from altitudes between 1200 and 2000 m, but is smaller and appears to be still 
*) The type of fulvia F. is no longer to be found in the Fabricius collection in Kiel. Also a catalogue of labels of 
Fabricius, which still exists, does not mention the name. However next to lonicerae Schev. there is a pencil note with refe¬ 
rence to fulvia, which whilst not having been made by Fabricius personally is yet in an old fashioned, but unknown hand¬ 
writing.
