Remarks. — An easily recognizable species. The variation is quite 

 insignificant and consists of a slight change in the size and shape of 

 separate spots. The terminal streaks of the forewing may be separate 

 or fused in both sexes. On plate 15, figure 2, which shows the 

 caudocephalic aspect of the male genitalia, the aedeagus is slightly 

 misshaped because of the pressure of the cover-glass, and the "waist" 

 of the aedeagus is barely seen.
