red. The hindwings have an almost uniformly wide narrow blackish margin. The two submedian nervures 
are distinctly dusted with black. Head, thorax and abdomen are blue-black. A complete red abdominal belt 
is always present on one segment, in the $ it sometimes expands covering a second segment, in the A there 
is a grey-white collar. The illustrations in Vol. 2, pi. 6 i are much too bright a red.

from around Berlin. Spots 1 and 2 are confluent, spots 3 and 4 are united in an almost round spot, so 
that forewings have only 3 spots. 
Przegendza found at Lubine and Le Mont in the Vosges a dull black race with short antennae, 
which he has named var. vogesiaca. The hindwings vary in width, but forewings are uniformly wide and vogesiaca. 
with rounded apex. Spots of forewings are dull red, on an average somewhat smaller than those of the cen¬ 
tral german populations and with a general inclination for spots 3 and 4, as well as 3 and 5 to become 
confluent. — Przegendza bred an autum form of var. australis Oberth. that emerged end September to mid 
October. It was bred from ova obtained from the May brood from Batna, Algeria and is distinguishable from 
same by its somewhat paler red and smaller size. 
p. 37, line 18 from top. Z. lonicerae Schev. In the Ukraine, around Kieff var. ukraima Przeg. occurs, ukrciina. 
It has densely scaled forewings and a brilliant superficial gloss. Ground colour is dark steely blue and spots 
of forewings are small and carmoisin red. Margin of hindwings is double as wide as in typical lonicerae. 
Antennae are long and bold, forewings elongate and moderately broad, body not very hairy and glossy blue- 
black. 
Verity describes a var. lusitaniaernixta from Sierra da Estrella in Portugal, captured mid June to lusitaniae- 
mid July at altitudes of 800—1500 m. It can scarcely be differentiated from intermixta Vrty. and is relatively 
rare among trifolii occurring there. 
I denominated as subsp. kalkanensis some specimens captured end July and early August in the kalkanen- 
S. Urals (around Kalkanowa, 800 — 900 m) which form a readily distinguishable race. Its dainty form, narrower 
more elongate wings and distinctly duller paler red (carmine rose) are typical. Ground colour of forewings is 
dull with very faint greenish blue sheen. Margination of hindwings is fairly wide, dull bluish black with distinct 
jet black fringes. Body of $ fairly densely haired, that of $ shows occasionally a dull blue-green gloss on 
abdomen. It is very interesting to observe that spots 3 and 4 of forewing are fairly often in juxtaposition 
with an inclination to become confluent. In one $ they are completely confluent. — ab. citrina ( Speyer ) Reiss, citrina. 
the yellow form, is also found there. 
At Kansk on the Kan in Siberia and near Saissansk in the Tarbagatai (at 1860 m altitude) similar 
carmine rose lonicerae populations to kalkanensis occur, according to single specimens from these districts in 
my collection. These also have similar margins to hindwings and show an inclination towards confluence of 
spots. Although these specimens come from localities that are so widely apart and of such different altitude, 
it would appear that a subspecies occurs in these regions that has a confluence of spots comparable to that 
of subsp. confusa Stgr. of meliloti, which I also possess in specimens collected in the larbagatai.

given. It occurs on the western slopes of the Burgberg near Mittenwald (Upper Bavaria). It is classified under 
subsp. alpina Bsd. Spot 1 is slightly reduced, spot 2 only faintly indicated, spots 3, 4 and 5 are completely 
absent. Spot 6 is present and of normal size. Underside of forewings shows a slight reduction of the wide 
red nebulous streak.

Misox, Vorbrodt states that as far as he knows this species does not occur in Switzerland. 
The subsp. sheljlizhkoiana Holik & Reiss from the Ukraine in the immediate and more distant sur- shdjuzh- 
roundings of Kieff, varies distinctly from the type race. The specimens are scarcely larger than the type 
race from Vienna and have remarkably long abdomens with a more sleek and pointed wing contour. The 
scaling is denser, the red darker carmine. Forewings are throughout with blue gloss and spots are smaller. 
Hindwings have wider margins and black scales extend from same along the veins towards the centre ot 
wing. Especially along the submedian fold the veins are frequently completely covered with black scales. 
According to Sheljuzhko, who has also given the following particulars in regard to aberrations, this race is 
widely distributed and common in the district of Kieff. The aberrations are: ab. doleschalli ( Riihl ) Holik from doleschalli.
