 a fold on the dorsum of the hindwing near base. This is not present in 

 the other members of the genus. "Well-defined races of this species occupy 

 different portions of its distributional area. The Wakatipu and Central 

 Otago form is bluish-grey, with the markings fairly distinct ; the wings 

 are shorter and broader than in other districts. The Takitimu race is 

 somewhat narrower-winged, and is of a uniform fuscous-brown, the mark- 

 ings being almost obsolete. The Hunter Mountains variety has the greatest 

 wing-expanse, though proportionately narrower than the Wakatipu form ; 

 there is considerable admixture of white and ochreous. especially in the 

 female, and the markings are well defined.
