• P i' h \ lans °- The types of Hoffmannsegg representing this species, which were sent to me 
were said to have been captured at Algarve (Faro?) in S. Portugal. In my opinion they are closer to var’ 
aphochsia Bgff. than to subsp. esconalensis Oberth. Perhaps Oberthur was right when he claimed that the 
andalusian race was the same as the type race of hilar is from Algarve.

was captured m southern Europe (Linne), Esper stated that the species only occurred in S.France 7 The 
photograph of the type ex the Linnean Collection in London in my possession, shows a southern race with 
faint traces of yellow circumscription to the spots of forewings. The southern french fausta hitherto nicaeae 
Mgr., type lace from Nice, is accepted as type race of fausta. It occurs along the seaboard of the Maritime 
Alps, Basses-Alpes and Bouches du Rhone and neighbouring country. The type race especially shows a vivid 
warm cinnabar-red colour of spots of forewings and hindwings. The spots generally are conjoined Specimens

mine and has constant narrow whitish yellow circumscriptions to spots. The spots of forewings including 
their surrounds are not reduced in size as compared with the more southerly typical fausta, also^he margin

fortunata, having also the narrow whitish yellow circumscriptions to the spots as this subspecies 
The subsp. fucunda Meissner from the alpine regions of W. Switzerland embraces the group of 
fausta that are mainly without the abdominal belt and have much reduced collar. There is a general indination 
to a reduction m the size of the spots, spots 3, 4, 5 and 6 of forewings are not infrequently completely separat 
ed from one another The var. genevensis Mill, (p. 24, line 15 from below) is cited as a'race ^ ?

Daniel denominates the race from around Wolfratshausen in S. Bavaria as var. monacensis (Bgff. i. 1.). It has 
a nclily contrasting colouration, partial occultation of the red abdominal segments by the interspersion of
