low altitude, as can be Judged by the early date of capture and are with few exceptions larger and more

Transcaspia can no longer be maintained. I consider that cuvieri does not occur in X. Persia and Trans- 
caspia, beside the manlia races and that manlia probably is in very close relationship to cuvieri Next to

twin spots of fore wings, which otherwise are divided by the ground colour, are more or less widely confluent 
lengthwise never however along their entire breadth. In the specimen illustrated by Oberthur, the basal and 
central spots are more thoroughly conjoined than the central and apical spots. The ab. confluens (Oberth)
