F(miteen specimens are in the collection. They exhibit very slight 

 variation, and that appears to be due to maturity of coloration. This con- 

 sists of greater depth of tint and thicker coating of bluish bloom. The 

 segments on the dorsal line of abdomen are a little callous and pro- 

 duced over the sutures. In a few specimens the wings are paler than 

 the wing-covers.
