ab. pallidula Putt. 3rit.Lep.l910.XI.p.ll.

Male. The ground colour pale silvery blue. Female not described.

Leeds under this name, and giving Putt as the author , describes the female which
of course has no relationship with the pale male. Leeds also wrongly includes
underside forms of the two sexes also giving Putt as the author.

ab. caeruleo Putt. Brit. Lep. 1910, Cl. p. 11.
Male. The ground colour bright silvery blue.

of blue.

ab.viridescens ’Putt. Brit. Lep. 1910. XI. p. 9.

= infraviridescens Bright & Leeds. Mon. Corid. 1938. p. 10,

Male. The ground colour silvery blue- green.

infraviridescens is a superfluous name, the description being”with easily
perceptible greenish sheen” and therefore covered by Putt's name.

ab. ultraviridescens Bright & Leeds. Mon. Corid. 1938. p. 10.
Male. The ground colour dark but distinctly greenish.

ab. lavendula Bright & Leeds. Mon. Corid. 1938. p. 10.

Male. Phe ground colour lavender, lilac, violet or mauve, the blue tint almost
absent. Female rare, dusted with lavender, light or dark.

ab. infralavendula Bright & Leeds. Mon. Corid. 1938. p. 10 & 49.

Male. The ground colour blue but distinctly tinted with lavender, lilac, mauve or
lightish violet. The female dusted with the same tint.

Male. The ground colour darkish but tinted with lavender or dark mauve.

ab. lacticolor Putt. Brit. Lep. 1910. XI. p. 7.

Pathological male. The fore and hindwings of a delicate cream colour,

Leeds on p.49 of his Monograph adds the female as being of a very pale brownish
or greyish wainscot with a misty appearance.

Pathological examples appear through various causes such as pressure on the pupae
and should not be named. Such a female, as Leeds couples with Putt's male , cannot
in any way be related to anything.

ab. grisea 'Putt. Brit. Lap. 1910. XI. p. 9.

Male, The ground colour pale grey, scarcely bluish.

Leeds again wrongly attaches a female form to thi3 on p. 49 of his Monograph
saying that it is paler than the type range, grey with barely a trace of brown.

He also credits Tutt with the authorship of the underside forms of male and
female which certainly have nothing to do with Tutt's grisea. The underside
male is the form which Tutt named fuscescens but Leeds ignores this. The "grisea"
names therefore on pages 18,28 and 66 should not be used. — »<?e p. 2-5" these notes.

ab. albescens Cockerell. Proc. S.Lond.3at.& Nat. Hist. Soc. 1887. p. 99.

The metallic ground colour replaced by white as in L.phlaeas ab. schmid ti.

This may possibly refer to the Spanish race albicans , misprinted albescens, but
the name must stand with its description.

ab. albescens Bright & Leeds. Mon. Corid. 193s. p. 49. (nom.preoc. Cockerell. )
Female. On the upperside of fore and hindwings extensive white or whitish.

ab. livida Bright 1 Leeds. Mon. Cor id. 1938. p. 10.

Male. The ground colour varying from slightly darker than that of a dove,
advancing through plumbeous , somewhat leaden- shaded, to the Colour of a Wood Pigeon
The outer borders faded in the lighter specimens and others never have an actuall;
black margin.

Taken from the P. icarus form livida GLllmer.

ab.plumbescens Tutt. Brit. Lep. 1910. XI. p. 20.

Male. Leaden coloured ground. Apparently an extreme form of the "suffusa" series.

ab.pulla Bright & Leeds. Mon. Corid. 1938. p. 11,28. and 67.

Male. The upperside with the ground colour slate or slaty extending to just
short of black.

The next description on p.28 of Leeds Mon. is of an underside form of the male
with the forewings unicolorous, perhaps a trifle less dark than the hindwings
which are the colour of slate or even darker , occasionally with a slight tint of
brown. The description of the female underside on p.67 says the forewings are grey
slaty or up to black and may only show the slightest tint of brown, sometimes
they are partly white. The hindwings dark slaty, blackish or black.

Whether or not these various forms belong to the upperside male with slaty
ground colour is a debateable point. The colour of the upperside is governed by
light on the scale formation.

Male, Brilliant electric blue, like the less violet bellargus and captured at the
early date of June, the time for the first generation of bellargus. Apart from
this it is nothing but a coridon similar to the Asiatic race caucasica. 'The
underside like coridon. 3e full description for more detail.

Said to be hybrid between bellargus and coridon. Brighter ground colour than
the normal coridon male, intermediate between the two species. The forewings 3how
almost lineal borders, edged inwardly on the blue with black spots. The hindwing3
marginal black spots are very distinct and well circled with whitish. 'The fore¬
wings look more like bellargus and the hindwing3 much nearer coridon.

Another form is dull in ground colour with a strong sheen of violet or purple-
blue, the outer borders a mere line, the spotting small and indistinct.

ab. cinnameus Bright & Leeds. Hon. Gorid. 1938. p. 11.

Male. The borders very slightly lighter than cinnamon and -this colour extends less
pronounced over all the wings.

Male. The wings with a roughish surface as if finely peppered with more or less
darkish or even blackish colour, thus causing in most specimens a metallic effect.
Female. Of rough texture and darker peppering.

= inframarginata Bright & Leeds. Mon. Corid. 1938. p. Ip.

Male. Bright silvery blue but with a distinct green tint and the forewings
showing a distinct broad darker border. Hindwings with only faint dots.

This is 'Tutt' s original description and must stand for the form margiaata,no
mention is made of the black continuing down tie costa to the discoidal spot .
Preissecker named this more extreme form in 1906 but in 1910 'Tutt claimed that
his marginata had the black increased strongly towards the costa and reaches to, ^
or almost to, the discoidal point (pl.l.f.9. in Brit.Lep. fl.lplO. ). Tutt's first
description must stand and Ffeissecker 's saminigra is the name for the more extren
form.

Male. The costal area of the forewings blackened in width as far as the median

Schultz doe3 not say the outer borders of the forewings are wide, presumably
these are normal. Tutt claims that it is the same as his marginata.

Male. On the hindwings the black border more pronounced than usual, not so wide
or black as in latiora, or, with black spots or chevrons on the blue ground
interior to the ordinary black spots of the border which may be separated or
.joined up, but the general appearance of a very broad black outer border is not

A comoletely unnecessary name, covered by Putt's indistineta. Putt obviously called
the form indistineta because the whitish circles were not complete

ab. divisa Putt. Brit. Lep. 1910. XI.p. 10. (see p.ll. )

Male and female figured. The upperside of the forewings with a white marginal
border cut by the black veins to form squares which however contain no black
dot3 or pupils. These are present in ab. punctata Tutt. Hindwings with normal
ocelli, perhaps less black than usual.

Ebert described his form as having a broad pure white border, 2 mm. wide cut by dari
veins, and an extreme form of ab.punctata Tutt. He was not sure whether it was
coridon or bellargus but it is almost certainly the former.

Leeds description of fowleri is quite wrong as usual.

Tutt treats fowleri as having bright silvery blue ground in the male, and names
a fowleri-pallidula because it is of a paler blue, etc.

ab.fowleri-pallidula Tutt. Brit.Lep.1910. XI.p.ll.

Hindwings devoid of circles or discs in the border.

Leeds quite wrongly says that the semifowl eri forms are produced when there are
no blind squares on the hindwings , the type of fowleri had no blind squares on the
hindwings. These semi forms therefore can only stand on the reduced number of
blind squares on the forewings.

Described as a male form only.

ab. ultraalbocrenata Bright & Leeds. Mon. Corid. 1938. p.l6. (3 on p.56)

Male. On the forewings whitish marks extend over the ground colour from the black
border for a considerable distance inwards. Sometimes there are only two or three
of these streaks, rarely the white extends almost as a level whitish inner band,
intruding broadly on the blue and only cut by the veins.

female. Leeds includes a female form under this name with a most ridiculous
description which says itramust have numbers 44 to 37 included in it. These "numbers'
are forms with various coloured discoidal spots and various coloured crescents
or wedges on the hindwing borders. In addition it has well-scaled white or whitish
situated on the ground colour of the forewings, mostly between the veins. This
latter part presumably is to match the white marks of Tutt * s albocrenata which,
in the female, Tutt has already named albolunulata . It would be best to ignore
Leeds female description.

ab. supraalbocrenata Bright & Leeds. Mon. Corid. 1938.p. l6.

$ The forewings more strongly marked than in the preceding form, the white radiating
between the veins the central rays reaching the discoidal spot or beyond.

forewings ringed with white so presumably this male has a black discoidal point
ringed with white.

This is kept separata from ab. albiouncta Tutt because Putt only described it a3 a
female form and this, a male, may possibly be not related to the same character in
the female. The female how ever, which Leeds describes under this name, is the same
Putt’s albipuncta. See female forms later.

Tutt’s first description says'" female form with the discoidal spots edged with
white, and streaks of blue on the hindwings." This however is amplified in his
Brit. Lep. Xi. p. 12 and p.29 where he say the spots of the forewings are edged with
white. The figure shows the forewings discoidal ringed with white and no discoidal
spot on the hindwings.

Tutt described a female in which the discoidal spots of the forewings are ringed
with white and those of the hindwings similarly ringed or replaced by white spots
so that all four discoidals stand out consoicuously in white.

Stauder described his circumscripta as having the middle 3pots of all four wings
round and white- surrounded. He then says he has 8 males and 14 females of this
form. The female is a synonym of albipuncta Tutt but the male with such spots on

Leeds description is complete nonsense as u3ual,he says that for albipuncta the
forewings must have only a white spot devoid of a black centre, other-wise it is
albocincta Tutt (spelled incorrectly) and the hindwings must also show a white
3pot, without a black centre.

Tutt is far from clear in his short description of this form. After mentioning
albicincta and albipuncta in which the discoidals shew white, he merely says -
occasionally the discoidals are blue ringed ( caeruleocincta) " or blue-spotted
(caeruleopuncta) . The only assumption is that caeruleopuncta is the same as
the description for albipuncta but the spots, and rings, are blue instead of white.
Tutt apparently did not discriminate between rings and spots, on his plate he
figures two examples of albipuncta one with the hindwings discoidal ringed with
white and the other with awhite blind spot. The only difference I can see is the
fact that albicincta had the spots ringed on forgings only whilst albipuncta
had both fore and hindwings affected either with rings or just blind spots.

Leeds can hardly be blamed in this case for getting things mixed.

Female. The upper side of all wings -thickly sprinkled with blue scales with a
central black lunule on each wing, the forewings only brown on the oosta and outer
margin.

The most used name for this form is syngrapha but under the new rules regarding
infra- specific forms, the name tithonus can be used as the oldest, despite the fact
that Hubner had used it for another species. ( Saraml. Eur. Schmett. 1803.P. 55. pi. 108.

In consequence some of Putt’s forms are based on the name 11 syngrapha’1 and
others on "tithonus".

Schawerdis cyanogyna appears to be a rather darker blue form of syngrapha which he
says could be taken for bellargus ab. ceronus.

ab. oberthuri Gelin. Bull. 3oc. 3nt.Fr. 1914. p. 184.pl. %f. 5.

Female. The upperside of the syngrapha form, blue- scaled on all wings, but the
interneural spaces on the hindwings are brown leaving the veins silvery blue, also
on the hindwings there is a strong black eliptical mark or short line running in
the same direction as the veins, situated at the extremity of the discoidal cell
and just below the discoidal point. These marks are enclosed in the middle of a
trapezoidal space of very clear silvery blue sharply narrowed at its basal end
and then prolonged in the form of a long wedge a 3 far as the marginal lunules,
becoming wider as it approaches the margin.

The main feature of this form is the most unusual long silvery wedge reaching from
the marginal lunules to the base of the hindwings and containing the eliptical
black discoidal mark in its middle. It is coupled with the tithonus (syngrapha)
character, otherwise it it very similar to the next form albocuneata Wagner.

ab. albocuneata Wagner. 3. Ost. 3nt.V er. 1926. 11. p. 4. fig;

Female. 'The forewings appear to be normal male but, the hindwings are grey-brown
with a little blue at the base and showing the suavis character. There is a large
and longitudinal black 3pot and two small spots in the middle of the wing but the
most striking character is the wedge of pure white reaching from the margin to
the discoidal black spot or spots. Wagner sa J3 that at first sight the insect
appears to be a male, but may be a gynandromorph because of the markings of the
hindwings.

The examole is extremely similar as regards the discoidal marks and long wedge
to the preceding. whether or not the forewings are really male, or merely of the
syngrapha type, it is difficult to decide but Wagner would presumably have known
a syngrapha blue which is not nearly so silvery as a normal male blue. In any case
the wedge is pure white not silvery blue as in oberthuri Gelin.

be antico-discreta. From this it would be best to treat discreta as having tne

It is unfortunate that Leeds links this form with retrojuncta Courvoisier since
he is completely wrong in his description of retrojuncta itself. This is a synonym
of basijuncta Tutt and has the third basal spot united with the lowest ( twin-spot)
submedian, not with the marginal chevrons at all.

Leeds credits Courvoisier with the authorship but has given the description of
a much rarer form than Courvoisier ’s retrojuncta which was merely a synonym of
basijuncta Tutt and not at all rare, heed’s name for this form cannot stand
however since it is preoccupied by Courvoisier ’s.

This presumably means on both fore and hindwings. Tutt did not mean without any spots
at all since later in Brit. Lep. XI. p. 18 he says -the spots considerably reduced until
only the discoidal and marginal lunules are left when it becomes corydonis Bergstr.
Unfortunately he uses the same name obsoleta for forewing and hindwing forms in
which the spots are completely absent. Leeds further complicates matters by naming
an antiobsoleta and a postobsoleta in which the spots are only reduced in number
not completely absent, and therefore different from Tutt’ a fore and hindwing obsolete

ab. fowleri (see pag*e ~] of these notes.)

The ab. fowleri underside given by Leeds on page 44 of his Monograph are not the ab.
fowleri of South, unless the marginal spots are absent on the upper side also. Leeds
is wrong in calling underside forms with the marginal spots absent on the underside
only, ab. fowleri, since one often sees specimens with these spots missing on the
underside but present on the upper side, in which case they are not South's fowleri,
the figures of which show the uoperside marginal dots absent. For this reason Leeds
fowleri underside forms are not included here as underside forms, but given only as
upperside variations. The form with the marginal dots absent on the underside but
present on the upper side, requires a new name.

Two "black” males exhibited by Hr. Sabine at a meeting of the South London Ent. Soc.
These Sabine specimens are described by Mr South in Entom.vol.20 18 87. The first
one as "blue-black, with small black spots on the hind margins and a dash of brownish
colour along the inner margins of the hindwings. Nervures black, running through the
whitish fringes.". The second specimen as "blue-black, somewhat darker than the first
Finges chequered dark grey and black."

The form therefore is blue-black with the fringes grey or dark grey and chequered
with black. The following foim has the fringes black and much more extreme.

"It is the ab.ceronus Ssper with the black marginal spots of the bind ings bordered

Hostagno apparently thought the ab. ceronus Esper which has the wings completely
blue to be a male. The form is therefore the same as Oberthur ’s and Tutt ’ s forms
which were males with orange lunules on the margins of the upperside of the hind-

wings.

by the name, obviously named it on colour since the fringes are not mentioned in his
description.

in Brit. Leo. vol. X he described and figures the type specimen. This shows all wings
heavily rayed or streaked starting at the marginal spots, travelling through the
sutemedians , and reaching the discoidal spot area, two of the rays actually uniting
with the discoidal spot. The basal soot of the forewings is also united vita uie
discoidal soot. On the hindwings the marginal soots unite with the submedians to
forms bars or short streaks and the basal spots are shaped like bars.

Tutt gave the name conjuncta to cover any foira which showed bars formed by the
union of two 3pots as opposed to streaks caused by the elongation of spots out the
type specimen he figured must tee taken as conjuncta.

On the underside of the forewings the basal spots unite into one streak, -another
streak, in the form of .an arc above the inner margin, is formed fey the union of a
submedian spot with the base (arcuata) . On the hindwings the first basal s-ot is

On the underside of the forewings there are four basal spots, the discoidal spot is
split into two and above the inner margin is an arc or curved bar formed by the
union of a submedian spot with a basal spot (arcuata). On the hindwings the third
basal swot is connected with an opposite submedian spot.

On the underside of the forewings a basal spot is united with a subnedian .just
above the inner margin to form a curved streak or arc.

This form is generally referred to as "arcuata" but tiphys is an older name. The

authors consider it bellargus.

and that therefore Gillmer's krodeli is a synonym. (see his remarks). The
al form 3 are so much more plentiful than the completely spotless form tha
was quite in naming the extreme form krodeli in 1900 since 'Tutt had state
his obsolete was only tending towards obsolescence.

Tutt’s obsolete therefore had the spots fewer in number but not completely absent.

On the underside a combination of obsoleta and striata characters. For swings with
the basal snots practically absent but between the submedian spots and discoidal
there are small extra spots (addenda Tutt). The fifth submedian is lengthened or
elongated. On the hindwings the first and sixth submedian spots are much extended
but the whole centre of the wings spotless and there are only two basal spots.

The most interesting points are(I)the white of the discoidal spot spreads over the
whole central area and (2) the submedian spots are pushed outwards on to the
marginal chevrons, the latter on the forewings are broadly white with grey apices,
on the hindwings also broadly white but with orange apices, the margins therefore
look particularly pale.

No mention is made of the Gotswold specimens which at that date Pruhstorfer probably

This may merely represent the summer generation of the type form in which case
it would have priority over the preceding parvipuncta Fuchs. Not enough is known
to decide, so Fuch3 is given the benefit of the doubt.

forewings. In Blachier' s figure the forewings show only one spot on the" right fore-
wing and no spots on the left, except a tiny point near the apex. The spot on the
right forewing is elongated into a streak. The hindw ings are similar to Oberthur* s

spotted, the forewings with ordinary spots,not streaks as the description suggests.
The only peculiarity of this form is the dark centre on the forewings.

The race from Ireland. Differs chiefly on its underside which is invariably greyer
than English examples which are of various shades of brown. Also in the red marginal
band of the hindwings which is much more conspicuous on the grey ground. On the
upperside this band is usually broader.

phlaeas subsp. eleus Pabricius. Snt. Sys t. Suppl. 1798. p. 430.

Tutt's description "pallide lutea" is not the original,being taken from the 2nd. Ed.

The ground colour straw. or cream on forewings, the hindwings with normal copper
band. Underside straw or cream.

Since Leeds says this "covers" schmidtii he apparently means the very pale examples
with cream ground which Tutt erroneously called schmidtii.

ab. lacticolor Leeds. Mon. Coridon Addenda. 1941. p. 141. & 142.

The ground colour of both fore and hindwings straw or cream.

Leeds says this "covers" schmidtii which Tutt erroneously described as oeing
pale cream, lacticolor should therefore be cream and not straw which to my mind is
too deep a colour. The underside has the forewings straw or cream and hindwings

very pale.

The ground colour white. ^ ,

Tutt states that schmidtii is cream in colour and gives the name "alba’’ to unite
examples. This is not correct, Gerhardt’s figure is definitely white and he rerers
to the figure in Bsper’s Bur. Sohmett.pl. lx. f. 5 which is also white. , the name alba
therefore becomes a synonym.

Presumably the hindwings are normal copper coloured on the band. The description is
bad since there are two forms included, if both forewings are white or silvery it
is the same as antero-alba Tutt, if only one wing it is probably pathological. The
name is best ignored.

The ground colour suffused with blackish.

It would seem impossible to separate these dark dusted forms unles the types
exist which is most improbable. The description given above is of ab. fuscae Hobson.
Tutt’s suffusa had the ground colour suffused with black in his first description,
later in Brit. Lep. 8. p. 374 he adds” the discal area is still fulvous as are the bands
of the hindwings which have no marked tails”.

Fuch’s transiens was a form approaching the southern eleus, golden-brown with rich
black dusting.

Leeds, of course, had to step in with a further name, antieleus, which he admits is
suffusa Tutt but describes it merely as "greater in extent of dark dusting than
than antiinfraeleus Leeds but less than antiultraeleus Leeds".

ab. eleus Fabric ius. This cannot be used as an aberrational name since it is now

Upperside of forewings black, except margins which are bro’wnish-black,a small patch
of dull yellowish copper at base and along inner margin, gradually disappearing
half way along the submedian line. The black is truly black and contrasts with the
brown outer margin, there being no trace of the normal spots. Hindwings with the
copper marginal band partly obscured.

This is an extreme form of the preceding melanophlaeas Guen. which probably was
also "black" when fresh. Since this cannot be settled with certainty it is kept as a
separate form.

Tutt separated the following forms by the presence of marked tails but there are
so many intermediate examples that the names would appear unnecessary.

-ed to Futt’s typica-caudata,but as elsewhere, if good tailed specimens are wanted
here, bring them in, whether anything else is typical or not, or they can go elsewhere

Possibly one of Leeds most irresposible contributions. . He calmly alters Tutt’s
suf fusa to antieleus and then gives the name suf fusa to a totally different form

Underside only. For swing with two snots in the top costal portion. In typical speci”

Another ridiculous name, covered by the addenda of Williams, but Leeds restricts this
to the underside only so it is included here as underside only, illiaras form
being for both upper and underside.

Lempke has established the fact that the Linnaean type was of the Spring generation
see Lamb. 34. p. 79-80, and reserves metra Stephens for males of the Spring gen. which

show a black spot on 'the upperside of tile forewings.He seems however to have
missed Stephens real point which was to separate males with a very weak spot(metra )
from males with a conspicuous black spot, obviously the summer brood which he thought
were typical rapae, his description being "a single obsolete dusky spot1' . This brings
metra so near the type form in which no spot is mentioned, as to make it a synonym.
The name metra can be used if so desired for ‘Spring gen. males which show a faint
soot in the disc.

the name must be withdrawn from rapae.

Le Moult uses this name for Chinese males with strongly reduced apical mark but
Lempke in Tijdschr. Ent. 96. p. 297* suggests that the name be used for examples
without the discal spot on the upperside and the apical patch reduced in sixe. I
do not see how one can alter the authors description in this way.

towards the base, and there is a very slight trace of ochreous at the base of the

The name is given for males which show on the underside the lower of the two black
discal spots celarly divided. Pionneau says that up to the present ab. divisa Gelin
was the name for f anal 9 3 with the lower spot divided on the upperside. Since he
calls his divisa "ab.nov." he apparently wishes to make it a separate form but the
name is preoccupied by divisa Gelin.
