Elbigenalp in the Lechtal. The race to which the specimens from these 3 localities belong, has not yet been defined. 
At the moment they are classified with subsp. lacrymans. E. Lindner discovered in August 1908 a jausta 
population on the Garchinger heath near Munich, which is now said to be extinct. According to Daniel 
same was not as richly coloured as monacensis and represented a transition to the population of Regensburg. 
p. 24, line 23 from below. The subsp. suevica Reiss now comprises all the populations of the Swabian 
Alps as well as those from Regensburg (Keilstein). The population from Eichstadt (Bavaria) probably also 
belongs to this group. The yellow aberration of suevica is named ab. flava Reiss (Blaubeuren). Specimens in flava. 
my collection from Kirilein (moravian Karst) have, like suevica , a partially red streaked thorax, the yellow is more 
vivid. A specimen from the neighbourhood of Kletten, northwards of Zauchtel in N. E. Moravia has similar 
characteristics. The most easterly localities known at present are Jassina (Korosmezo in what was formerly 
known as Hungary), east Slovakia on the galician frontier. 
It appears that a very local race occurs in Moravia and in eastern Slovakia that links up with subsp. 
suevica and which has affinities with the central german fausta. 
The subspecies agilis Reiss, type race from around Jena (Kunitzburg) and also from Apolda and Arn- agilis. 
stadt, almost certainly also occurs at other spots in Thuringia. According to Burgeff it is found near 
Weimar. Further agilis has been ascertained to occur at Wurzburg and at Wertheim. It always has distinctly 
visible pure pale yellow thoracic streaks, the $$ show distinct pale yellow scales or short pale yellow hairs 
on last abdominal segment. In contrast to typical jausta and also to jortunata, it varies very little in regard 
to size and disposition of the spots. The relatively small brilliant red spots of forewing, which are always 
conjoined with one another by the wide vivid yellow circumscriptions, are almost always of the same shape 
and size. The yellow circumscription fairly frequently extends along the vein, at the level of spot 1, to¬ 
wards spot 3 and simultaneously at the level of spot 2, towards spot 4. On underside of forewings the 
bright yellow appears chiefly as an outer surround of spot 6. Along the inner margin on underside of fore- 
wings there seems to be a wide yellow silky glossy area that extends to the spots. Above this yellow silky 
patch, spots 1, 2 and 3, 4 often seem to be widely conjoined together by red scales. Along the costa on 
underside of forewings there is a red streak conjoining spots 1—3 often as far as spot 5, that part of same 
between spots 3 and 5 is often yellow. The yellow aberration is ab. lugdunensis (Mill.) Bgff . and specimens with lugdunen 
brown spots and brown hindwings are named ab. brunnea ( Oberth.) Bqjf. The denomination ab. lugdunensis , 
x ° \ / oil V brunnea. 
Mill, refers to yellow specimens of the races like jortunata from Lyons and ab. brunnea to those of the jortu¬ 
nata races. 
In conclusion I should like to mention that jausta also occurs in the S. Tyrol, which is not remarkable 
in conjunction with the occurrence of lacrymans. Dannehl gives the Malser Heide as a further locality, while 
Daniel has in his collection specimens from around the Klausen and Waidbruck. 
Z. jaustina 0. (Vol. 2, p. 29) does not belong to jausta, but jciustina, baetica and murciensis form 
a unit together. The only original specimen of jaustina that is left and that certainly had been in 
Ochsenheimer’s collection and is now in the collection of Treitschke in the Hungarian National Museum, 
has supplied the necessary proof. The jaustina illustrated by Hubner is the genuine type, Rambltr had 
unfortunately taken a specimen of a Spanish jausta race, that probably originated from Catalonia, when he 
described and illustrated the subsp. baetica of jaustina. The genuine jaustina emanates from Algarve in S. Por¬ 
tugal and is of the same size as baetica and murciensis. The specimens captured by Korb near Chiclana in 
S. Spain and designated as baetica, are actually more like jaustina than baetica. Seitz has cited in Vol. 2, 
p. 29 the main distinguishing characteristics of jaustina. The abdomen is generally red on the 3 usual segments, 
ground colour is blackish green, the circumscriptions of the spots are fairly wide and nearly whitish yellow. 
The basal spots (1 and 2) are widely separated from costa and from the central spots (3 and 4) which are 
conjoined by their whitish yellow surrounds. Spot 3 also has a yellowish edge towards the constant blackish 
costa. The yellow thoracic streaks are absent. The illustration in Vol. 2, pi. 8 c does not represent jaustina. 
p. 25, line 27 from below. The subsp. baetica Rmb. is typical in the neighbourhood of Malaga. It has 
larger central spots that are confluent in the red with very narrow generally only rudimentary whitish yellow 
circumscriptions. The specimen illustrated by Seitz in Vol. 2, pi. 8 b does not represent baetica according to 
the paratypes of Rambur submitted to me, as the spots are much too reduced in size. As however we know 
little about the variation of the spring and autum forms and as also the degree of variability of beatica has 
not yet been thoroughly ascertained, the specimen in the illustration referred to may be considered aberrative. 
p. 25, line 25 from below, subsp. murciensis Reiss is to be classified here. 
p. 25, line 5 from below. Z. marcuna Oberth. ( = marcuna Stgr. i. 1.). The correct name is marcuna 
and not marcouna. The chief distinguishing feature from algira Dup. is that the basal spot (1 and 2) of 
forewings does not extend to the inner margin.
