built and with wider wings, partially with smaller spots to forewings, especially spot 4 is reduced Whilst 
in the typical borealis population the form athamanthae Esp. is of rare occurrence, in Icieicensisthl 
o is predominantly five-spotted. Barely a 6th spot is indicated and more rarely stilt it is fully developed The

half f n ?the y re COmm d° n 'I to tlle description, is ephialtoid to the extent of one- 
half and the remainder being peucedanoid. Almost always five-spotted, sometimes spot 6 is indicated The 
spots are reduced in^size as in kiewensis. In the ephialtoid specimens the basal spots (1 and 2) are completely 
or nearly completely filled with red, the other spots of forewings are occasionally fairly heivily thiged wfrh 
hive ““or 88 ,” m e |P e r ° ld T ecimens “» often exceedingly dusky with'distinct discal spot. They 
have a very wide blackish margin that diffuses inwardly. As the description is based on a few possibly 
cuhm of tl e 1 SPe -T nS b * he Musenm at Cracow - will be best to wait for confirmation of the parti- 
culars of the diagnosis based on more numerous and freshly captured material.

< cahty Kasikoparan mid August. In a casual examination of these specimens one might take them for 
j eached tmnsalpma from Mid or Southern Italy with completely black hindwings. The blackish colour has 
a blue-green sheen, there is no trace of an abdominal belt. Both specimens, contrary to the very brief 
description of Staudinger are five-spotted, only in the $ spot 6 is visible on underside. The small spots of 
forewing are faintly tinged with reddish m the <J, also at base and in cell of hindwings there are a few reddish 
scales The ? shows no trace of this reddish tinge, the spots being whitish. Spot 1 of forewings is completely

I ' 7 f ° re T? f p0t ? and hmdwm g s - Head, antennae and legs are as the ground colour As 
I hold the red abdominal belt of dorycnii O. to be very constant, I cannot bring mysflf to believe that 
■oiycmiami ammtica are one and the same species. Only when transition forms have been found either 
rndi llg ycmi inclining towards araratica or among araratica inclining towards dorycnii, having thus a 
rudimentary abdominal belt, will this become thinkable. The illustrations in Vol. 2, pi. 5 k show the bodies 
and heads too heavily depicted and the antennae are too long and especially in the $ too coarse The antennae 
of ararauca are generally not so sharply pointed as is shown in the illustration on pi. 5 k
