18U. Bursada radicata al). flavifrons nov. and ab. carens nov. 



In a lenglhy series of li. raiUnUn Warr., in which the size and shape of the 

 three yellow blotches of the forewing vary considerably, two extreme forms single 

 themselves out. 



In the one the yellow markings are broader than in the average typical form, 

 and (he face as well becomes yellow ; in the other the opposite tendency is seen, 

 and one or other, sometimes all three, of the yellow bloti'hes becomes nearly or quite 

 obsolete. For these two forms I 2)roiiose the names ab. Jlaci/rons and ab. carens 

 respectively.
