The variation of the nominate form of minuta is rather insignificant, 

 but there are specimens with forewings somewhat darker than have 

 usually been observed. The hind wings are pale grayish, as a rule, 

 but in a male from Lakewood, N.J. (July 13, 1902; genitalia on slide 

 573-Obr.; in AMNH) they are very dark, as in no other of the 

 examined specimens. A rare variety is represented by one male, 

 improperly labelled ("Insectary, June 1908," Kearfott Collection; 

 genitalia on slide 574-Obr.; AMNH). It has the head, thorax, 

 costa of forewings and their cilia orange yellow, but most of the 

 forewings is smoky gray, as in the form Cinderella.
