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.

ab. ul.tr acaeruleo Bright & Leeds. Mon. Corid. 1938*p. 9.

Male. The ground colour dark blue, readily distinguished from the ordinary range 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.

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

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.

ab. hafneri Preis seeker. Verh. 200I. -bot. Ges.Wien. 1908.58.P. (68). Sble with the ground colour like that of damon Schiff.

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 black border very narrow on the bright silvery-blue ground.

ab.margdnata Tutt. Brit. Butts. 1896.p.l66.

= 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. On the forewings a broad marginal band on the outer border and extending along the costa from the apex down to the discoidal point.

More extreme than Tutt's marginata.

Male. The costal area of the forewings blackened in width as far as the median nervure. Hindwings with a broad very black margin.

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 produced a3 in latiora.

A very feeble aberration.

Male. Phe marginal spots of the forewings upperside with whitish markings on either side but not completely encircling them as in indistineta Putt.

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.

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.

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 forerangs and hindwings had not been named so may be kept separate under the name circumscripta. ( See below, for this form if male forms are to be separated from 99 J 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.

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. lunulata Tutt. Brit. Lep. 1910. XI.p. 34.

Female. As in syngrapha but the for swings only showing a discoidal point, the hindwings without a point.

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.

In his figure he shows both fore and hindwings with this character and the legend for the -plate says that this is discreta and that when on for swings only it should be antico-discreta. From this it would be best to treat discreta as having tne thrown-outwards spots on both fore and hindwings.

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 on their upper part by bright fulvous."

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.

Some authors place hyacinthus Lewin as this form because the very bad figure shows no bars on the finges of the p /but the female figure shows some on one wings. Lewin, by the name, obviously named it on colour since the fringes are not mentioned in his description.

Tutt * s figure shows the underside of the forewings with no spots except the discoidal. The hindwings with spots but small and asymmetrical.

Stauder* s form was described as having the forewings ab. krodeli Gillmer (no spots except the discoidal) and the hindwings normal.

ab. 3ubtu3-impunctata Oherthur, Etudes 1896.20.pl. 3. 27.

On the underside of the forewings the spots are reduced in number and on the hindwings completely absent except for the discoidal.

ab. mixta Tutt. Brit. Lep. 1909. Lp. 338.

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.

On. the underside most of the spots are absent and a complete absence of the orange marginal lunules. The margins are pure white , the white tending to approach towards the base in a series of arrow-shaped marks.

Specimens from Cornwall are separated, by Pruhstorfer by their size and colour. 'They agree with series from Brittany.

No mention is made of the Gotswold specimens which at that date Pruhstorfer probably did not see. These cannot be included under eutyphron since they are of a different blue and somewhat different spotting.

? ab. cotswoldensis leChamberlin. Entom. 1908. 41. p. 202.

If the Cotswold specimens consitute a race this name must be raised to subspecific rank. The specimens in series certainly appear very different from the Devon and Cornwall specimens ,as le Chamberlin has noted with the following description — nil the wings more or less thickly sprinkled with black scales, giving a very dusky or melanic appearance, constituting an approach to the Alpine var.obscura of Professor Christ.

The submedian spots brought inwards to form a sort of semicircle around the discoidal spot

Tutt did not describe the form under arion, merely stating that it occurs in this species, were it not for the ±act that gLomerata and discreta are described in the same volume of his Brit. Lep. under coridon, the two forms would be nomen nudum.

The two specimens figured have the submedian spots of the forewings merely length¬ ened into rather long pear-shaped spots, hardly coalescing as Tutt states. The hind- wings of the two specimens are different, one having a very dusky border (fig, 6 ), the other a very pale washed-out border disappearing into the blue. (fig. 7) . The form hardly deserves a special name being covered by le Chamberlin's imperialis.
