The geographical and seasonal variations of Coenonympha pamphilus L. 207 
lescribe its races. A series ofthe I generation from Kazamuni and 
specimens of both generations from the Pine Woods of Yuzgat, 
3000 ft., received from the British Museum, where the rest of the 
series is, no doubt, presserved, belong to a very small race, smaller 
han emiaustralis, which the I generation resembles on both sur- 
aces. Ihe underside of hindwings is, of a clearer and more 
;reenish gray or of a gray mixed with a rather remarkable bright 
rellow tinge; this colour is very uniform and there is scarcely 
ıny trace of pattern, except a small whitish space. I propose 
alling it euxina and naming posteuxina the II generation, which 
litfers from it by its darker and sharper marginal band on upper- 
ide, (exactly as in the case of the mountain race of Peninsular 
taly, which in the I gen. is an emiaustralis), and the slightly more 
ariegated underside, where a narrow white band stretches from 
osta to tornus and the ocelli and premarginal lunules are per- 
ectly distinct. This race, which, on the whole, belongs to the 
amphilus group, is probably the mountain one of Asia Minor, like 
he emiaustralis of high altitudes in Peninsular Italy. At lower 
titudes, as in the latter region, there probably exist, as a rule, 
aces belonging to the marginata Group. Very likely the name 
f australis can perfectly well be applied to the I generation and 
at of marginata to the II in general, in the same way as in the 
alkans, because these two regions produce the same races in 
lany species.
