What seems to be a typical specimen, labeled by Guenee, is in the 

 British Museum. Mr. Butler, in the Entomologist, xxv, 03, 1892, 

 cites Acontia unocula Freyer, neuere Beitraege, vi, tab. 534, f. 3, as 

 an additional synonym, perhaps correctly. He also, incorrectly, makes 

 biplaga the female of aprica. Both sexes of both forms are found.
