P-30, line 7 from below A population that belongs to subsp. uralia Bgff. (= uralensis Krul.. praeocc ) 
was discovered by Ernst G. A. Schneider of Elberfeld at Kalkanowa, Borkoteja in the S. Urals but un- 
fortunately only a few specimens were obtained. The type specimens of uralia of Krulikowsky from the 
central Urals, of which one $ is m the collection of Sheljuzhko, were not available to me In the 2 22 
specimens from Kalkanowa which were submitted to me. spots of forewing have quite equally wide yellowish 
vlnte circumscriptions as the typical modesta Bgjf. from the central Rhine valley. The' wing contour is 
rather narrower and more elongate than same. The red is pale carmine, paler than in modesta. In one 2 
spo s anc are fairly widely separated. Ground colour of forewings is a pronounced glossy bronze green 
l lie dark margination of limdwmgs is very narrow in the only rather worn ^ and 2 00.* In the A it is 
distinctly narrower than m modesta $. Collar and scapulae are only very faintly whitish. The distinct pale 
carmine red abdominal belt is open on underside and limited to one segment. The specimens of uralensis from 
he S. Lrals are totally different from the typical berolinensis, with which Krulikowsky had compared 
lem, and they cannot be mistaken for one another. They differ from viridis from around Kieff in the 
Ukraine by the more distinct green gloss, paler almost rose coloured red and the fairly heavy circum¬ 
scriptions to sjiots of forewings. “ ^

l orn around Ventimiglia, occunng at end of June. According to the description it is considerably larger than 
disjunct a Spud, from Alassio and Laiguegha and has more elongate forewings. Spots of forewings are throughout 
separated and reduced m size. The 2 has enwidened white circumscriptions to spots. Hindwings have 
much wider margins that protrude in centre. It must be remarked that this race is on the wing at end of 
June, whilst the populations of Alassio and Laigueglia are still aH in the larval stage at that time of the year 
It is probable that subsp. disjunct* Spul., the type race of which has not been allocated at any one locality 
on the Riviera cli ponente, does not originate from Ventimiglia.

cover the same variety found among the german populations of meliloti, as these form one group of sub-
