— ab. "valesiana" M.-Durr is frequently found among specimens from the Valais (but not exclusively and not constantly) ; it is distinguished by a yellowish grey underside and very small ocelli. ab. "corsica" Bell., on the other hand, is a form which flies regularly in the mountains of Corsica and differs in the ocelli of the underside bearing pupils of the ground-colour and having larger borders, which almost form pale rings on a grey-brown ground. This form occurs as an exception everywhere, having been obtained by Standen even in Norway. Females which are nearly as blue above as the males are not very rare in certain localities, especially among the summer-broad, this is ab. "coerulescens" Peters (= "pseudocallarga" Neustetter). — A constant form is "hypochiona" Rbr. (78 d, ground-colour too dull), from the most southern very sunny districts of Europe (Ionian Islands, Greece, Andalusia); underside rather pale, the black eye-dots small and placed in large pale halos, before the margin a row of bright red spots.
