more thinly scaled than same. Wings almost transparent with hyaline ray at base of hindwings. Ground 
colour of <$ and $ dull 'blackish with no interspersion of yellowish scales, the red being an obscure carmine 
rose. Thorax and abdomen distinctly and densely haired. Forewings pronouncedly truncate at apex. Spots 
of forewings much reduced in size. Spot 6 small, attached to spot 5. Hindwings merely with blackish fringes. 
The $ in my collection shows spots 2 and 4 faintly conjoined despite the smallness of the spots. It can 
be distinguished from zobeli Reiss from E. Prussia chiefly by the shape of the wings, although it is also 
much larger and more densely scaled. A £ in my collection from around Stockholm (S. Sweden) has similar 
wing contour to caledoniae, but it is more robust, more densely scaled and has much larger spots on fore¬ 
wings than same. 
In the neighbourhood of Kieff (Kirillovskije ovragi) var. stauderi Holik Reiss occurs, which is to stauderi. 
be classified as a race under subsp. zobeli Reiss. Wing contour is variable. Besides distinctly narrow and 
pointed winged <$<£, there are also such with very broad and truncate wings. The vary similarly, they 
are faintly, sometimes scarcely perceptibly dusted with yellow. Scaling is fairly dense. The markings are 
not well developed, especially the reniform spot is much reduced in most and in a large percentage of 
the $$. The red is a carmine rose; in the $ especially on forewings there is sometimes a faint admixture of 
vermilion. The reduction in the spots is more pronounced than in typical zobeli from Osterode, the form is 
smaller and wing£ shorter than same. Further zobeli has a slightly greater admixture of vermilion in the 
colouration. The following aberrations occur: ab. flava {Dziurz.) Holik ab. cingulata (Dziurz.) Holik, ab. rubri- flava. 
anata ( Shelf . i. 1.) Holik-. with red anal clasps, ab. flavopraetexta ( Bgff.) Holik: spots with yellowishcir- 
cumscription and ab. confluens [Dziurz.) Holik in varying combinations of confluence, most generally spots fiavopme-

p. 17, line 19 from below. According to the original description subsp. arragonensis Stgr. emanates 
from Albarracin, as does the <$ illustrated on pi. 2 b of this supplement. Stag dinger's types were captured 
by Zapater and Korb. Spots of forewings enlarged, spots 2 and 4 generally widely confluent. The k is 
fairly heavily dusted with grey. 
p. 17, line 13 from below. In ab. giesekingi Wagn. (Vol. 2, p. 21) of the typical subsp. wagneri Mill. 
according to the original description only spot 3 of forewings is absent. This denomination can of course be 
used also for specimens with further reductions in the spot markings. Instead of ab. achilleoides (Vol. 2, p. 21) 
the name should be ab. achilloides Wagn., the spots of forewing are enlarged, spot 5 diffuses forming an 
axe-like mark, hindwings have narrower margin. 
Przegendza describes a race from Voce near Spotorno (300 m altitude) that belongs to subsp. ligustica 
Rocci and which he denominates as var. vozea from <§<§ captured early June. According to the description, vozea. 
in this race the apices of fore and hindwings are generally very truncate. Hindwings with irregular but 
fairly wide margin, especially at apex. Markings of forewings on an average smaller than in ligustica. Ge¬ 
nerally they are six-spotted, but spot 6 is very small in all specimens or is almost extinct. It differs from 
ligustica from Genoa by the broader wings. 
p. 18, line 22 from top. Verity has made a special study of triptolemus Him. He refers to Hubner's 
indications and considers the S. Tyrol to be the home of subsp. triptolemus Hbn. In my opinion only ca- 
stellana Stdr., the high altitude race from the S. Tyrol can come into question. This race shall in future 
be deemed the genuine triptolemus Hbn. and castellana Stdr., p. 17, line 25 from below, held to be synony¬ 
mous, as the exact locality of triptolemus Hbn. will probably never be ascertained. — Verity separates 
2 further races from subsp. triptolemus Hbn. The var. cicaleti Vrty. from the Pian cli Mugnone near Florence dcateti. 
has, in comparison with triptolemus Hbn. somewhat enwidened spots on forewing, whilst against praeclara 
Bgff. it is smaller and has narrower wings. The red is richer and more brilliant, the gloss more pronounced 
and the $$ have much more whitish dusting on forewings than genuine triptolemus Hbn. and praeclara Bgff. 
Verity denominates as var. tuscamodica a race from Mt. Conca (400 m) that again inclines to resemble trip- tuscamodi- 
tolemus Hbn. from the S. Tyrol. 
p. 18, line 4 from below, var. caliacrensis Reiss occurring end June to mid July around Balcic on caliacren- 
the rumanian Silver Coast varies from subsp. macedonica Bgff. (Dojran lake, near Veles and on the Plagusha 
Planina). It is not quite uniform in size and wing contour. The whitish hairiness of thorax is less pronounced 
in the $$ and the white double collar is not distinctly visible in all <$$. In comparison to macedonica the 
only have increased yellow scaling around the spots of forewings, so that these appear to have distinct 
yellow circumscriptions. The <$<$ are almost devoid of any admixture of yellow scales on forewings. The 
red colouration is approximately as in macedonica. The most striking and characteristic distinguishing feature 
is the spot formation. The spots of forewings are generally reduced, especially however the apical spot. 
Spot 6, as in transsiylvaniae Bgff., is frequently attached to spot 5 and in one of the $$ before me it 
is practically extinct. The ab. confluens {Dziurz.) Reiss in which especially spots 2 and 4 are widely con- confluens. 
fluent, is fairly frequent in spite of the inclination of the apical spot towards reduction, ab. cingulata {Dziurz.) cingulata. 
Reiss, hitherto only found in <§ sex, has a distinctly visible red abdominal belt on one segment.
