Palpi in ^ l^, terminal joint minute; in ^ 3, terminal joint I. 

 I have a long series, and am satisfied tliat they constitute one 

 species, which is notably polymorpiiic The abdomen may be 

 either smooth or crested, either uniformly fuscous-purple or red- 

 dish on dorsum, or green with fuscous-purple or reddish spots, or 

 with any intermediate combination. The antemedian line of 

 forewings may be fairly broad and entire, or broken into spots or 

 obsolete. The postmedian line may be entire or interrupted. 

 The terminal line may be entire and broad, or interrupted, or 

 nearly obsolete. Similar variations exist in the dark band of the 

 hindwings. The white .spot at base of the sharj) tooth on hind- 

 wings is usually sharply defined clear white, but may be suflFu.sed.
