Remarks. — There is no doubt about the synonymy of this species. 

 Dr. Braun distinguishes her cogitata from canella on the basis of the 

 absence of the bhick anterior border of the thorax and the white apical 

 portion of the hind wing of the latter species. Although Busck did 

 not mention the black anterior portion of the thorax in his description, 

 all specimens I have seen, including the type, have it present. The 

 use of a white apical portion of the hind wing to distinguish further 

 between the two is impractical, no two specimens of this species having 

 the same amount of black scaling at the apex of the hind wing and some 

 lacking it entirely. The difference in the male genitalia is confined 

 to the number of cornuti present on the vesica; but this character is 

 useless since the number differs in different specimens. 



This species closely resembles the European alstroemeriana but is 

 easily distinguished from it by the black or very dark-brown collar.
